God is Babysitting Tonight

Recently I have been so depressed, ridiculously depressed. I took two days to run away to my parent's house. There I kept going over and over what was going on in my life. Then I realized that I felt overwhelmed by babysitting my granddaughter. My quiet and peaceful life had changed. My little angel is so busy. Though I love her, her constant movement is a challenge. And I found I was resenting that I am raising a child. I already did that.

So I talked to my husband. He told me that I had to stop and put a limit on how many times a month she could visit. I was angry and hurt. What would happen to our granddaughter? But, the Bible says that we are to submit to our husbands. So I did.

Today, my husband got up and told me it was "my day", that he would do anything I wanted. It was his way of letting me know, he saw the pain I had been in and now he was taking care of me.
That act of kindness melted my heart.

God showed me in my study today that I must turn my granddaughter over to His care. So, today my baby is with her mother. I am resting and trusting God to protect my granddaughter and I have peace- and a good night's sleep is coming! YES!
