Description: my soul thirsts for You
“Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His; praise His holy name. For anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” ~Psalm 30:4
I never saw it coming. It was a total shock. No one told me that labor and delivery might not go as I had planned. No one told me you aren’t guaranteed the birth experience you want simply because you want it. And it was a disaster. We made it to the other side but I had some pretty serious consequences.
I remember heading home from the hospital with our firstborn daughter. Already, every dream I had had for her first few days was shattered. I realized I controlled nothing and I knew very little. The hospital, satisfied that we could bathe a baby without dropping her on her precious little noggin, cut us loose. That was the least of it really though.
