She shared with me because she KNEW I could relate to everything you wrote. You see...my husband was out of work for two years. The last year NO income what so ever coming in....The last two years my family and I have faced more 'storms' than ever before. I told hubby.'you know we have never experienced more storms in our lives than at this time,,but we have also never experienced how BIG God is and how much BIGGER He is than these storms'. "God has proven time and time again that He has plans for me and for my family." amen girl..plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us a future and a hope...Jeremiah 29:11 Blessings dear one.

I felt that way just tonight after Colin's first haircut. I felt like I was standing back and watching someone else. Like really?? ... I'm a mom???..of a toddler??.. With my lack of patience or maturity or anything that a mom should have? I know He has a plan but sometimes I wonder what he is thinking! I’m with you…A 17 year old in a 34 year old’s body..

It has taken more effort to build a relationship with my adopted kids than it did my biological daughter. On the flip side of that, I also believe I took that relationship with my daughter very much for granted. Since adopting my boys, I've realized that I need to put the same amount of effort into fortifying the relationship with my daughter that I do in building it from the ground up with my boys.

Going through a pregnancy does not make you a mom, being a Godly women who trust God with the circumstances and children you have been given no matter how they come to you makes you a mom. birthing children is not all there is..raising children, loving them, teaching them and watching them grow into people that you have modeled for them to be throughout the years...that is the best. i love your heart! keep sharing and trusting! on behalf of all the women who have complained without necessarily realizing it and for sure never intended on hurt you I am soo sorry!

I can't tell you how many times I've had these thoughts but never knew if I was the only one. I continue to pray for God to soften my heart at those times. I do know it has caused me to be more aware of what I say that might be hurt those around me. Thank you so much for this post!
