Okay, so I have been complaining a lot in my mind about pumping milk for Abigail. I know it is the best thing for her and that we will eventually get to nursing, but I have been discouraged none the less. Then yesterday evening and this morning God kept telling me to be thankful in everything. Which reminds me of Corrie Ten Boom's story and her needing to be thankful for the fleas in her bed. So I worked on thanking God for the opportunity to pump milk and be able to give it to Abigail.
Then something awesome happened. When we saw Abby this morning our nurse asked me if I was ready to try breastfeeding. I was floored and excited to get to see how Abby would do. She did great. We had a couple of minutes of Abby eating like a pro. The whole time I was holding back tears of appreciation to my ever faithful Father. How could I ever question His provision or love for me? So I will use this to remember to be thankful in everything, even when it hurts, isn't easy, and I would much rather complain.
Thank You Jesus!
