I am much more acutely aware of my sin as I parent. I totally relate to the paragraph about being annoyed and frustrated with whining, etc. That is my chief regret because I eventually will snap at Ava and I hate that. You're a good mom. God's grace is more than sufficient...Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793667254058254198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767613040515745730.post-12279653843052960572010-11-08T23:08:13.144+03:002010-11-08T23:08:13.144+03:00Everyone here has said all the things I was thinki...Everyone here has said all the things I was thinking. The fact that you are concerned about what she might be missing proves you are a good mom. I have SO been there, feeling the same inadequate feelings many times. It goes with the territory, you love your kids so much and it's easy to be aware that as a human being, we are flawed. But you love her, you love God and you are in His will which is the best place to be. This weekend a seasoned, much travelled (including when her children were small) woman of faith said "Home is being in the will of God", I thought it was a pretty neat & very true statement. Rest in that knowledge, you are where He wants you (& Lane) to be. You are giving her so much more than you realize lady.Neenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151199823275618314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767613040515745730.post-78912890640190354982010-11-08T13:57:59.453+03:002010-11-08T13:57:59.453+03:00I love this blog post.

Raising kids is never easy and we may not always know what we are doing, but lucky for us God knew what He was doing when he gave us kids!

(research has proven that i can hear more sounds now than later in life! So really- you're already helping me be multi-lingual!) Thanks for making my early years adventure packed so that I'm not afraid of change or what new thing might be coming around the corner of life. Thank you for showing me that my life doesn't have to be about the next best thing or the bigger toy that I saw on tv yesterday. Thank you for showing me a world outside the back-yard... And for giving me experiences other kids will have to read books about to experience! <br />Most of all Mom, thank you for showing me what it is to truly follow the Sovereign One... Because you Live out your trust in Him one difficult day at a time.... And these actions say more than anything you could verbally tell me now or in the future. <br />Love you, <br />Your daughter Lane<br />Your LaneSinging Awayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916851806815138010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767613040515745730.post-52456142821088381772010-11-07T22:47:03.455+03:002010-11-07T22:47:03.455+03:00That is sweet, thanks for doing that.

And a good one, at that. <br />Rebecca slept in her car seat for 3 months, then in a crib until she was a year and a half, then on an inflatable Dora matress/sleeping bag thing for a year. Now she and Mikayla are crowded into a room with bunk beds that is almost impossible to keep picked up...and my guilt is because they have too MANY toys! <br />Sometimes we just have to trust that God loves our children more than we do, and chose us to give them to, knowing that we were what they needed. How amazing is that?!Keciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00188826846417951616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767613040515745730.post-49866470563623637452010-11-07T21:20:06.423+03:002010-11-07T21:20:06.423+03:00You may not be perfect but you are the mom that Go...You may not be perfect but you are the mom that God wanted Lane to have. She may grow up far away from extended family but she'll have substitutes that will enrich her life. The fact that you are attentive enough to figure out it was cinnamon she was allergic to shows what a great mom you are. And think back to generations past.....our grandparents didn't have toys like we think our kids need to play with. They played with sticks and bugs and chewed on chair legs. <br /><br />Lane won't remember where she slept. Do you remember when you slept as a baby? Or what was on the wall? I don't. But Lane will know that she was loved.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890581319164051879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767613040515745730.post-59147121277755145652010-11-07T18:06:36.806+03:002010-11-07T18:06:36.806+03:00Your post made me cry!

How encouraging to read that other moms have the same thoughts and concerns that I have! I love that you posted this and that you ask her to look to Jesus to fulfill all her needs. It comforts me so to know that as much as I love my daughter and want to care for her needs, that Jesus will always love her more than I do and be much better at caring for her. I know I don't comment much (ever) but I do enjoy reading about your experiences. Love, Julie A.HappyGirlSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209409235279907254noreply@blogger.com
