KNOWING HIM: PROMISE KEEPER

Image
Dear reader, Being honest with you here, there have been many times in my life where I made promises that I didn't see through or keep, as well as hearing and receiving promises from others then turn out to be disappointed when they fell through. When promises are broken, so often is our faith and trust in the person also. One thing I learned with God however - is that He is not like what we experience on earth, He cannot be compared to how people have treated us or not treated us. God does NOT and has never went back on His word. What comfort and encouragement we can take from that. "As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

I am now into week 8 of motherhood and adjusting to life with a little one.  And it has certainly been a journey so far.  The first few weeks with our baby have been a blur. Days and nights were mixed together and me and my husband would often get confused as to what day it was. But we have been on cloud 9 and words can't begin to explain how blessed I feel. There have been tears, sleepless nights, long days as well laughter and joy. But that is what I have learned about motherhood, it is beautiful but intense and overwhelming.  No day is the same and each day I am learning something new.  The transition of just being a wife to now wife and mum has NOT been the easiest adjustment. I suppose this is why this season is called the fourth trimester (yes that is really a thing that I believe doesn't get enough attention for new/expecting mums!).  Some days I amaze myself with how well I'm doing, other days I am overwhelmed, exhausted and feeling frustrated.  Having said that, so
