Hurdle #17
Happy One Month Birthday Baby Jay! 31 whole days. I'm so proud of her. She slept most of the day. I imagine yesterday's appointment wore her out because she also slept all night. I'm still asking God to cover this beautiful child that He so wonderfully and fearfully made from head to toe. What a blessed day to have this baby girl. I'm praying that God gives me the endurance to run this race that He has placed before me. The song on my heart tonight is by Smokie Norful, "I need you now" It says "Not a second, Or another minute, Not an hour, Or another day, But at this moment with my arms outstretched, I need you to make a way, As you’ve done so many times before, Through a window or an open door, I stretch my hands to you, Come rescue me, I need you right away, I need you now, I need you now, I need you now, I need you now." I'm so thankful to hold my child tonight and feel her movements and hear her breathe. I'm standing on tiptoes of expectations. Today I bless God and I give Him the GLORY! 50 - 80% of Trisomy 13 babies don't make it past their first month IF they make it out of the womb. I refuse to let the rocks cry out for me. All Praise be to God! God is good!
What is a hurdle? An upright frame that athletes must jump over during a race. To successfully accomplish hurdle racing a runner must have the proper skill and technique. It takes a well thought out plan. Should a runner hit a hurdle there is no penalty. During my times of track I never hurdled but I've been told that if a runner doesn't have the endurance, hurdles will get harder and harder as they come. This is my blog called "My Season of Hurdles".
