My son has colic. Now for those of you that have never experiences colic let me let you in on a little secret. Colicky babies cry. If they are dry fed burped and just woke up from a nice nap they cry. I have said to my husband are his eyes open? Oh then he must be crying. now he really doesn’t cry that much, but it’s an easy 3 hours per day strait. We aren’t talking fussing. Everyone has seen a fussy baby. That is not what we are talking about. Full throttle, screaming bloody murder, crying, That is normally for one full hour, With a one hour ramp up of fussing and a ramp down of fussing, If we are lucky.
So what do we do? We sooth him best we can. Hold him try to burp him, coo to him, rock him whatever it takes to stop the cycle before the blood curdling screaming begins. {We also use semthicone and gripe water} does it help? Sometimes yes sometimes no.
What has this taught me about God? Very, very simple. I know nothing about what is bothering my child. all I know is that hes crying and I want that to stop because I want him to be happy. So I hold him and I coo to him “it’s ok baby, I m here, your alright, mommas here, Shhhhhhh it’s ok”
God does the same thing for us. We come to him crying, although he understands what is wrong and what we want, it might not be what is right for us right then, so what does he do? Well some people says he does nothing, but I know he picks us up, tries to calm us, coos to us that he’s got this and everything is going to be ok. Like Matt sometimes we listen and trust it’s all going to be ok, other times we keep crying. Does it mean he puts us down and walks away? No, he continues to hold us and rock us and love us, until the spell passes, Just like I do Matt.
