For the record...

It was brought to my attention that some of you might overreact to my post called "ponderings" from a few days ago and think that we are miserable and nobody's happy. That is not the truth. The truth is parenting is hard and I am always seeking wisdom. I cautiously stated MY thoughts knowing full well there is more to the story. I think I assumed you would know that as well. Please don't think that we are falling apart over here. We're not. There are just moments, sometimes days, sometimes seasons in life where things are uncertain and when it comes to child-rearing...I'm almost always uncertain. I want to be the best parent I can be. I want so much for my kids. I want what's BEST for them. I want to guide them in the way of truth. But the truth is...I pray for and over my children and I am trusting that God is true to His word. He has plans for them that are far beyond my hopes and desires for them. He will be faithful to them even when I fail them. He is in control...not me! Thank the Lord! LOL.

~just sayin' so we can be clear on all this. We clear? Good. :)

Girl if that means you are miserable than I guess I am too because I have a little 7 year old girl that I have not figured out yet either! I didn't comment on that post because I figure I should not talk about that which I do not know haha. BUT I can tell you, mine thinks she know it all as too. I love you and am praying for wisdom in parenting for all of us!

Hope you didn't think that I read into your "ponderings" that you were unhappy. Just giving encouragement. Have a safe trip.

I'm so grateful for your sharing. It was what I needed to read after a hard day with my little head-strong toddler. Thank you for being brave enough to put your joys and sorrows alike to pen so we can all glean and learn.
