Yep, that's what I said. Although I'm a wee bit tired from being up early this morning with a congested baby, God still spoke to me through something as simple as an aspirator.
Blake woke up around 4 unable to breath through his nose. This makes it very difficult to nurse, so I needed to help him out. My first step was to give him some saline to loosen things up and then use the aspirator to clean him out. Needless to say, he was not happy with me at all ... although, in the end he would be much happier, he fought with me the whole time, crying and screaming in frustration. Once I was finally able to finish cleaning him out, he was able to breath with ease and could eat and go back to bed.
God nudged me as I was going through this. He reminded me of how he works on me. Sometimes I can't understand why I have to go through something difficult or that I don't understand, when instead, I should TRUST in the fact that God does know, and He has a good reason for what is going on in my life. Each circumstance has meaning ... and I can choose to kick and scream through the whole experience or rest in the fact that God is using this for my own good.

Okay....this is SO good it made me cry! So, even though God is sucking snot out of my nose, He's doing it gingerly-yet-forcefully with the best and loving intentions. Is it too far of a reach for me to assume that "Aurora" is the suctionator in this story? And God is sucking the crap out of my life while pinning me to this place? lol. Just joking....well, mostly/kind of ;) Hey, what's the "food" and "sleep" in the analogy? Hmmmm, chocolate (without weight gain;) and Sat. sleep-ins? Yes!
