about a boy

Its been an amazing, roller coaster journey so far. With Jayden and breastfeeding, its a whole new ballgame. We are not doing too well on the breastfeeding front. Although its natural, its not exactly instinctive to mother or child. Thanks though to everyone for your encouragements.

I am reminded of what happened on Friday. I was complaining on the inside as to how things were simply not going how I planned it (funny, same like my breastfeeding experience at this moment)… and the Lord just chided me gently. He reminded me how this whole journey of pregnancy to the birth of Jayden is like a faith journey together with Him. How faith is reallly believing in the things that are unseen. He asked me to surrender and to trust in Him… and those in whose hands He has placed me in.

Now, even as I am expressing breastmilk, I am listening to the songs we played during the delivery. I am drawn yet again to this… I pray this on every child… and his / her parent.

Hold On to Jesus…
You’re a little piece of heaven
You’re a golden ray of light
And I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there’s one thing I could tell you
It’s no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus
He’s holding on to you

The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
That beauty’s on the outside
And being good’s a losing fight
But remember what I’ve told you
Because the world will make you choose
Hold on to Jesus
He’s holding on to you

Hold on to Jesus
Cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy
Whenever things get rough
Don’t lose sight of His goodness
And don’t ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He’s holding on to you

Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep him (her) close when he’s (she’s) scared
And give him (her) grace when he (she) is weak
I know he’ll (she’ll) stumble
But I know he’ll (she’ll) make it through
If You hold on to him (her) just like
You said You’ll do
Hold him (her) Jesus
So he’ll (she’ll) hold on tight to You.
