Inspirational Story of the Day

After a long, exhausting, frustrating week where Josslyn virtually got no sleep, my testimony was super strengthened today. Josslyn has been struggling sleeping. She seems super uncomfortable, we could hear her in her bed in the early morning hours just talking and singing and playing and just generally NOT sleeping. No matter how much we rocked her, gave her warm milk, read to her, she just wouldn't go back to sleep. And what was worse, she wasn't taking very good naps either. We were all frustrated with each other, short tempered, and TIRED.

Last night Josslyn slept amazing. 11 hours straight, and went easily down for her nap. It was the best night we've all had in a while and I've been in such a better mood today. Not short with her. She's been a lot quicker to smile, and hasn't whined at all. After I put her down for her nap I looked at my phone to find a text message from my sister in law asking if we had slept good last night, because my 5-year-old niece and made sure to say in her prayers last night that we all get a good night sleep. Without even knowing, or possibly understanding, how rough our week had been, a 5-year-old little girl has been able to bring peace to my home from 1000 miles away.

There is absolutely something special about that little girl and I am so grateful to have her a part of my family. And Josslyn is lucky to be able to have a cousin like that. And Josslyn sure loves her!

This is a comparison picture. Josslyn last year at Easter versus this year. She's changed so much!
