I am a wife, mother, and child of God. I am learning daily how to make the Gospel central in my life, finding purpose and joy as a stay at home mom.
Most likely written to a people in exile, to a people feeling lost and forgotten, new mamas can also find comfort in the prophet’s encouragement to God’s people. Knowing Christ: Take Time to Consider the Attributes of God Use these moments, late at night, to reflect on God’s attributes. “Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Mounting up with wings like eagles sounds amazing, and I am so thankful for those spiritual highs that God provides, but in moments like this, when I’m up night after night with a newborn, I’m thankful that God also provides the strength for me to walk and not faint.
Merriam Webster Dictionary (11th edition, 2004) defines introversion as “the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one’s own mental life” and defines an introvert as “a shy or reserved person. (NKJV) indicates that the Lord GOD “will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young. As a Christian, you are first a child of God, a chosen daughter of the King, then made a mother by a gift from the same LORD God that chose you as His daughter. The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail,” (Isaiah 58:11, NKJV).

On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God. Isaiah 40:31 – but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. I’m unsure if I will end up listening to music during labor and delivery, but I created a Spotify birth playlist anyway!
