I know God will supply your every need and will provide the special grace that is to be yours through this time. Easy probably won't be the hallmark for a while, but I think you will excel at all this. I'll be praying for you!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648805632326563495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103129892169944217.post-80672722172093741002009-07-01T00:32:10.379-04:002009-07-01T00:32:10.379-04:00raw is refreshing sometimes and i know for me it g...raw is refreshing sometimes and i know for me it gives me a whole new perspective on a situation!<br />God is mighty and Loves you ever so dearly!! looking back and seeing how high you climbed is one of the best rewards!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031640193625593655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103129892169944217.post-49592782798551301362009-06-30T18:18:50.238-04:002009-06-30T18:18:50.238-04:00Thank you for being real!

One day you will look back and realize that you are standing on the mountain top and you will wonder how you made it to the top. <br /><br />Great is His faithfulness :)Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520420206527082783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103129892169944217.post-79923820714166716192009-06-30T13:24:04.371-04:002009-06-30T13:24:04.371-04:00I'll be praying that God supplies what you nee...I'll be praying that God supplies what you need at the time you need it. :)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107403429267188095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103129892169944217.post-75262228458686005392009-06-30T10:06:14.635-04:002009-06-30T10:06:14.635-04:00Take heart, dear one . . . many of us have climbed...Take heart, dear one . . . many of us have climbed just such a mountain. It IS difficult, but remember: You are not alone. Cast all your cares upon Him. Tobin will amaze you. You will maze yourself. And when that little baby joins your family (and the hormones normalize) you will handle it all just as God plans. He won't give you more than you can handle and He will not forsake you. Nor will those of us holding you so close at heart in prayer.<br /><br />Rest sweet one . . . rest.Debbie in CA : )https://www.blogger.com/profile/07473719745707917057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103129892169944217.post-7817077197938945532009-06-30T08:18:12.209-04:002009-06-30T08:18:12.209-04:00You will get through it, Davene!

You are right that it is different with every child but God doesn't drop you off, blind-folded and alone at the bottom of the mountain and chuckle as he watches you walk in circles with no idea where you are going or how to get there. He has blessed you with maps and compasses trail signs (friends, family, your wonderful husband, his word, your previous experiences). That doesn't mean that you won't get lost from time to time but you will find the trail eventually and make it to the other side! No lying, sometimes it is HARD. I remember Trinity at 15 months old still needing to be rocked to sleep for her naps/bedtime and newborn Houston screaming in his bassinet as I rocked her. But we got through it, and I *think* I'm more patient and knowledgeable because of it (and I learned to never let rocking my kids to sleep become a habit for them!)<br />Sorry for the novel, but know that you aren't alone and I (as well as plenty of other I'm sure) are here and willing to help whenever you need it!Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950150706076955969noreply@blogger.com
