My precious daughter has a colicky baby and is up many nights or trying to get a colicky baby appeased during the daytime hours.I am so glad she can go to your blog and know she is not the only Mama going through this. I spend my nights praying for her and all the sweet Moms who will be up that night. And spend my days praying for her and all the sweet Mamas struggling with a colicky baby during the day. I thank The Lord for you Becky and what you are doing to encourage all these sweet, sleep deprived, and many times very discouraged Mamas.

Thank you for this poignant reminder that even in the darkest moments when we feel the most alone, desperate and exhausted, Jesus is right there with us, giving us everything we need to make it through this season.

Girl I needed this. Like really needed this. I read part of your book yesterday about giving it all to Him – I think chapter 5. And I’ve got a little who is teething. I’m so tired. I’m the mom who doesn’t have time to be nice to her husband and it’s showing. I need it to be January so I can get book 2!!!! Thank you for your encouragement and reminders to praise and pray!!

My baby is asleep. She’s 11 years old now. God truly blessed me in my later years with her so tonight I’m thinking about all the things I want to do with her before she grows up like her brother and sisters did and starts her own family. Tears roll down my cheeks. I have toddler songs playing on Spotify. I pray that I will live to see her grown and maybe even my grandchildren. Blessings.

I sat awake, comforting my newborn son who arrived a bit too early and was having a rough day. The night of my 30th birthday I fed and rocked and swaddled and sang and held and walked and remember telling my husband that nighttime feels like “me against the world” with this new little life in our house. Thanks for the reminder that that is not the case 🙂

I have four children 17,7,5,&3 and sometimes it’s only once, but usually it’s 3-4 times my 3 yr old and 5 yr old are waking in the night, mainly because they want to be cuddled. On one hand it’s a blessed feeling to know that they want mommy Constantly even at 3 am but on the other hand it’s very tiring to know that I’m running on no sleep and it seems they will never out grow this habbit. But I have recently became more aware that Jesus is with me all ways, and I was chosen to Love and Nurture my precious angels. What an Honor. I enjoy every minute with them, even if it’s in the middle of the night calming them of a bad dream, Because it will not last forever and when it’s over and they don’t “need ” me anymore I will look back and long for those hours to sit with my babies.
God bless you, And all the Mothers out there ♡

Above all things in this world, I am most grateful He blessed me with the gift of motherhood. I feel His loving arms around us at night and always.

It’s 1:50 am, I have been up for an hr and a half trying to get the 18 monther back to sleep-for the 4th night in a row. Just like my mom used to say, “this too shall pass.”…. I just hope soonet, rather then later! 😀

It seems like every piece you write seems to just speak to me personally! I cannot tell you how grateful I am. I have a 6 month old who is still refusing to sleep through the night and a 4 year old who has to be at preschool at 8:30am. I feel like I’m continually running on empty. We recently moved abroad and I’ve been having trouble making friends and with your words I don’t feel so lonely. Thank you so much for encouraging words and reminding me I’m not alone. So looking forward to your book!! Lots of love from East Anglia! God Bless! X
