I am convinced that I am doing more damage than good, and for so many of the same reasons. Lydia and I are very similar as well, and I feel like we are constantly battling one another. Thank you for your vulnerability it is so true that just knowing you're not alone in your struggles really does help you to press on! So, thank you sister! let's press on to know Him as we seek to show His love to our kiddos!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05465432880257046110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472327951416639123.post-83636607191161251442010-04-08T19:31:27.449-07:002010-04-08T19:31:27.449-07:00I am right there with you.

God is so very gracious to me and I often feel that I fall terribly short of extending the same to my babies. Thanks for your honesty. This was a very timely post for me. What a day it has been. I'm confident that God will work all of it to their good.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539277095945515464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472327951416639123.post-89342961916581286002010-04-07T18:16:53.390-07:002010-04-07T18:16:53.390-07:00Thanks for sharing your heart...I will be praying ...Thanks for sharing your heart...I will be praying for you....Parenting is one of the hardest but most wonderful blessing we have been given.The Reedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01525532146348784896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472327951416639123.post-18108841742496873952010-04-07T15:00:30.055-07:002010-04-07T15:00:30.055-07:00so encouraging, kim. thanks for sharing. lots of...so encouraging, kim. thanks for sharing. lots of love to you.Me llamo Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03699042383759439260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472327951416639123.post-34709745357703939242010-04-06T13:48:10.659-07:002010-04-06T13:48:10.659-07:00This is such a refreshing post!Thanks so much for ...This is such a refreshing post!Thanks so much for your honesty!Danny and Jennifer Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973592356897032967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472327951416639123.post-23594724600650533572010-04-06T06:08:12.593-07:002010-04-06T06:08:12.593-07:00Kim so often I ask God to make my kids love Him IN...Kim so often I ask God to make my kids love Him IN SPITE of me. Over the past 2 years I have come to realize these things you are saying. It is humbling and it goes against what society does - even Christians. We have this false idea that if our kids "act" good then others will think they are good. Such an injustice to their souls. But the only way to get pass this is to humble ourselves before the Lord and live our life for an audience of one. I have lots to say about this very lesson I have been learning and embracing the last 2 years. We don't parent like many of our friends. Let's talk. Love you friend!!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882912674371026141noreply@blogger.com
