Today Caleb was supposed to get his shots. It was one of the first things on my mind when I woke up this morning. The last time Caleb got his shots (two months ago), it was horrible! Seriously! His leg swelled up and he screamed and screamed, then afterwards he got sick and stayed sick for several days. I’m not sure if he got sick because of the vaccinations, but now when I think of him getting his shots again I get a little bit nervous :)
This morning we went to the clinic but the nurse wasn’t there, so tomorrow we have to go again so he can get his shots :( At least Caleb had fun today, though he has no idea what awaits him tomorrow :)

I think it hurts us as moms when we know it’s time for our little ones to get their shots. But we can’t do anything to stop it, because we know that it is necessary. It is a temporary pain that helps us live a healthy life.
At times we also have to go through “temporary pains” that will help us in the future. God allows us to go through different trials in our lives that help us to trust Him more. Are you going through a tough time in your life? Put your trust in the Lord. He always has a purpose for everything that happens in our lives - He is perfecting us!
We can have peace in the middle of the storm, knowing that God holds us in His arms!
