Why "Joy Comes in the Morning"?

Life gets a little blurry when you aren't getting much sleep, or your sleep is interrupted many times a night. Some nights feel very dark and I don't always display patience like I should (and want to). Usually those are the nights when the voices of the "others" try to invade my thought life and cause me to doubt our parenting choices. The voices that say "you'll spoil a baby if you go to him when he cries," "if he doesn't learn to self soothe, he'll never sleep well," "he's waking out of habit," "he's not going to sleep until you let him cry it out"...blahblahblah. Joy comes in the morning because I can think clearer and can shut those voices out. Joy comes in the morning because I can hear God's voice telling me to trust Him and the way He is leading us to raise E. Joy comes in the morning because I am encouraged by other gentle mamas. Joy comes in the morning because I can see how E is such an amazing, loving, well adjusted, appropriately attached little person who is not spoiled, who will learn to sleep better at some point, who knows mama will meet his needs which will help him know and trust that God will always meet his needs. We are setting the foundation he needs to view God in the right light.

Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. (Ps 30:5, ESV)
