I think it is hard to realize that we aren't in control. I think that lesson is true with ALL aspects of motherhood and bringing life into this world. We think we are in charge of when and how spirits come to this earth and when they leave it, but really God is in perfect control. Thanks for the reminder-- sometimes trusting God is the hardest part. I really like this insight. I think it is hard to realize that we aren't in control.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who needs this reminder. As my children grow I still have to relinquish control to the Father. thank you so much for your kind comments!

Thanks Kerri for reminding me that we all belong to God and are under his care, protection, and control, not our own.

I have had the exact same experience with my baby; in the early weeks I would go sleep in her room sometimes and not sleep a wink. After all the baby classes hearing "Back to Sleep" so many times, I was so paranoid for my child who refused to sleep on her back. I finally had to give it to the Lord to do what He deems best for her. And, my friend recently echoed my thought, "She is His baby, not yours." Thanks for this! Great post.
