You know you can always give me your 100 cents because clearly some of us have had different life experiences and can share with others what we've learned from them. You ARE a really great listener, but it's also takes some learning to be the talker. I'm the same way. I like to help other people with their problems but there's only a few that I trust enough to share my feelings with and know that I won't get shot down or made fun of. One day, I know, you'll get your chance to be the stay at home Mom and have your husband there at church with you. Planting that seed is not enough. It can take years and years to continue sowing and reaping it. YOu just have to be persistant and have the faith that it will come. Just like us having a house. I just have to have the faith that one day, we'll have a house of our own. Sometimes when we work (and I have learned this as of recently), we have to really make a huge effort to be spending quality time with our children. Not just feeding them and doing the basics. I believe a good or even great mother makes that effort, even though she's just worked long hours, to make the time spent with her child quality time and not just time watching a movie together...you know what I mean? It's so hard. I hate HATE not being able to put Tanner to bed every night like before, but when I do get that chance, I make it really really worth our while. I linger with him, I read to him longer than before, I cuddle with him, I tell him how special he is. I'm sure you do that wtih Josh, but you get the idea. <BR/>Church is really hard. I know that it is for you. I have some ideas, but I'll tell you them when I see you. You're doing a great job and I KNOW you are doing the best with what you have been given. You are a really great person and have so much to offer. You just have to remember that it's okay to take time for yourself and not take the burden of other peoples problems upon you. The Lord already carried that burden so that we could be made lighter. Okay, I'll talk to you soon. I miss you and love you lots.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15757723613353208573noreply@blogger.com
