Abigail turned 2 months old yesterday! At her 2 month check up she weighed 12 pounds and 2 ounces and was 22 1/2 inches long.

Things she likes:

Sleeping (often sleeps 7-8 hours straight at night!)

Drinking Mama's milk

Smiling at you when she wakes up

Snuggling

Getting a clean diaper

Talking to you (cooing and making cute sounds)

Holding your finger in her hand

Listening to music

Sometimes Abigail has a hard time falling asleep. She cries, fusses, kicks and screams; she fights against the very thing she needs. I walk with her up and down the hall doing a bouncy dance until she calms down and falls asleep. One night while doing this bouncy dance I had a thought, and I felt like the thought came from the Lord. I thought that at times we are all a little bit like Abigail, fighting against the very thing that is best for us, pushing away Gods instruction and blessing. God tells us to give worry to Him, but sometimes we just don't want to let it go. God instructs us to lay down our sins, but sometimes we don't want to give them up. And sometimes we're just cranky because we don't get our own way, fussing and crying like babies. But when we, finally give up the fight and surrender, then we receive the peace and blessings God intended for us in the first place.

It is His kindness that leads us to repentance; the patience and gentle persuasion of our God of love. Our Heavenly Father will walk up and down the halls of life with us doing the bouncy dance until we finally surrender to Him.

"Or do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?" Romans 2:4
