That Moment.

That moment. 

Every mother has one. 

That moment when your baby won't sleep. She (or he) has been up screaming,...for what seems like days. Won't sleep. All YOU want is sleep. A moment of silence. A moment of peace. A moment without frustration. And then it hits you. This moment is where your child ONLY wants YOU. She NEEDS you. All she wants is to be held. To snuggle. To hear your voice. Feel your heartbeat. She wants her Mommy. You rock her, "shhh" her, sing to her, try your best to comfort her behind frustrated, tearful eyes...

Then the guilt of selfishness sets in. Like a ticking time bomb, reality sets in. These moments are fleeting. The time where you can hold her, knowing all she wants is you. Knowing that she is dependent on you. Knowing you can pretect her. She will grow up. Sooner than expected. Let's face it, her past fifteen months have flown by. The world we live in will test her morals and hurt her heart. And then you realize...you could hold this screaming, innocent, little human being for the rest of your life,...if you could. The frustration subsides. And you feel the unconditional love that only a mother knows. It breaks your heart and makes your heart feel so full as if it is going to explode- all at once. 

 I could hold this baby forever...

God's love is incredible. As a mother, I can't imagine His love for us. It's so much more...
