And today, my wife took turn so i managed to slept at 1am.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the middle of the night, she woke me up, to put our newborn back to her crib. Initially i was relunctant as i taught she could do it. However, finally i did it, and my fear was turning into reality. My newborn eyes completely alert. She&#8217;s ready for another 2-3 hours of slow torture (on herself and whoever doing the duty).<\/p>\n<p>I saw the clock, it&#8217;s almost 4am. So i only slept for about 3 hours, and the next 2 hours would be with this little girl&#8230;after that point, no more sleep, and today a long day with my big girl.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of lamenting and wasting the time&#8230;..I did what i usually do in such circumtances&#8230;to carry my girl, and worship God. But this time, the songs reflected my situation. I&#8217;m greatly thankful for the song writers&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The songs I sang were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>That I May Know Him &#8211; &#8220;that i may know Him, and the power of His resurrection. And the fellowship, of His sufferings&#8230;.<\/li>\n<li>You are My Hiding Place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank God, this time round, my girl didn&#8217;t stay awake for too long. And i could go back to bed soon afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>But it was really the song by Paul that reminded me, to share in Christ suffering. It&#8217;s not easy when we&#8217;re in difficult situations, still trusting in God. And He gives strength and grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the last 4 nites probably, I have been sleeping around 2am.
