Mixed up mummies!


Today I have excelled at baby brainitus by convincing myself that the clocks went forward!! Dutifully waking up several times (more due to my little hitch-hiker than me) I faithfully checked the clocks reminding myself that I must add an hour to whatever they said. Eventually at 5.30am it finally dawned on me that as none of the clocks had changed at all and after a wake up call from a friend on FB I was plain and simply wrong! 

 The thing is today is a mixed up day for me emotionally too, this year more than ever before. As I wake up to another Mother's Day I am flooded with mixed feelings; I am going to be a mummy any day now having waited 7 long years, but have no idea when our arrival will appear, so many of my lovely and precious friends are still longing to be mums and aren't and my own mum feels like she's slipping away every day although in reality she is very much still here.

I am aware that for all of you today there will be a mix of emotions too; celebrations for the new mummies, bereavement of the lost mummies, and plodding on for those mummies who are quite simply tired and weary. 

At this point I'd love to say something genius but the truth is it's 6.50am and I still think it's an hour later than it really is so I'll simply leave you with a song that I heard this morning.

"Blessings" Laura Storey

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
And all the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not,
This is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
