September 2, 2009: So I had a tender moment last night. Aaron, Jade and I spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa Gunn's house after getting home super late from Lake Powell. We slept downstairs in the blue bedroom with Jade in the playpen. I think she was so tired that she had a really hard time sleeping. She was super restless all night and finally woke herself up around 4am. I was so tired and Aaron didn't even move he was so unconscious but I didn't want her to wake anyone else up. So I quickly got up and got her a bottle. I thought for sure that would help, but she decided that she was done sleeping. I tried everything I could think of to get her to go back to sleep but it was useless and I was so tired at this point that the only thing I could think to do was to say a prayer or cry. After my prayer I was sitting at the side of the playpen looking at Jade when I had the distinct impression that I should hold Jade's hands while still wrapped in the ace bandage and put my hand on her chest. After about two minutes of bending over the playpen and Jade still wide awake I was ready to give up, but again I got the impression that this would work if I was just patient. Sure enough, 5 minutes went by and Jade fell asleep. I was so amazed. I thought for sure she would be up for the rest of the morning. I was so thankful that Heavenly Father listened to my prayer and inspired me as to what I should do. It just reaffirmed that our Heavenly Father loves us and is very mindful of our needs. He answers even the silliest of prayers. I love him and know that he lives and loves each of us. I am grateful for his tender mercies that help me each day.
