It happens every so often. He’s not hungry because he just ate but yet I can’t set him down and him be satisfied. Little man has gotten spoiled to being held all the time. This mama don’t mind though. I just use my baby wear carrier and away I go to do chores — baby and all.

I don’t really mind a bit that he is that spoiled. I waited for him too long to not enjoy every second of him. It’s not like that all the time but sometimes he just needs to be held and that’s what he likes. He loves to look around and be nosey as I do things around the house.

My how things have changed. We went from holding the promise of him in our hearts to now holding him in our arms.

It wasn’t always easy. I had to be reminded several times to keep holding on. I once clung to the scripture:

“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Matthew 17:20

I went to the store and bought a little container of mustard seed. I carried it around with me everywhere I went. Sometimes it was in my purse; sometimes it was on my piano while I would play and pray. It even made its appearance in church once as an illustration and everyone was given some “faith” by my father in law. One time I accidentally spilled them in my floor and I managed to pick every seed up and put them back into the container. I wasn’t about to lose my faith.

Not even a month before I found out I was expecting, I had a revived Hope rise up in me. I even made a blog post about it. I had so much hope rise up in me and it brought me such peace. Little did I know how close my miracle was. I’m so glad I know the One who gives hope for He is Hope.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Hebrews 10:23

We held the promise in our hearts; now we hold the promise in our arms.

Friend, you may be going through a similar situation to ours or maybe you’re just in a season where it feels like you just don’t have much left to hold on to. Let me tell you this: there is One that you can hold on to and He will hold on to you in return. Tie a knot in the end of your rope so to speak and hold on. Cling to Hope. Cling to Faith. You will find that in return He will cling to you. When it’s too hard to put one foot in front of the other, He will carry you. When the tears won’t stop falling, He will Comfort you.

Hold On friend.
