But it seems God is good and is walking with you through this journey. I love how He uses daily things to show us Him and His bigger picture! You are a blessing.<BR/>EliseatHisrighthandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984466652059105504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2855128419300101260.post-46972330264489816502008-06-05T19:56:00.000-04:002008-06-05T19:56:00.000-04:00Thank you so much for talking about the ups AND do...Thank you so much for talking about the ups AND downs!

Many women who give birth don't "bond" with their children immediately. It takes time.

And with that comes good days and bad and down days and up...not to mention many of just total exhaustion. All that knitting together of family is a LOT of work. Don't forget that! And it's ok to need a break!<BR/><BR/>God is good, ALL the time and this will be worth the work and the mess and the clutter and the confusion.....we are only called to keep trying, to keep picking ourselves up and others, not to succeed every moment, but to persevere. You are doing so great at this, what a great mom you are and what a great family. Even on those days!

I love your honesty. You are a great mother who loves her kids even when it's tough. Isn't it wonderful that God is in control and even knew when a day at work would be the break you really needed? :)Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359314156886989538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2855128419300101260.post-79392505715975205692008-06-03T10:38:00.000-04:002008-06-03T10:38:00.000-04:00Yes... bring on the "real"!!!

It takes time to get to know each other and all the little quirks in each of us... and over time, our love grows. You are so right to allow God to talk to you about it all. <BR/>BUT, I'm still sorry you had to go back to work.
