Taking stock

How are you?

It's always good to look back and reflect on life. How has life changed for you in the past 6 months? I hope you've had some good times, but I expect you've also had some tough times; life is full of ups and downs.

My last six months have been the happiest yet toughest so far! With the arrival of Zoë Grace I have experienced the blessing and joy of the gift of a baby, yet have had so little sleep, my routines have been dispupted, there is another person in our family to consider etc. etc. etc.

My weekly devotional this week is encouraging me to take stock:
1. My relationship with God: Has it changed? Have I explored new ways of connecting with God? What's been my response to spiritually dry times?
2. My relationship with my husband: Are we enjoying parenting together and communicating honestly? Are we creating space for physical intimacy?
3. My relationship with baby: How am I adjusting to a constantly changing routine?

Something for me to ponder on this week...
