Being a mother is a hard and sometimes thankless job, but it seems you did it beautifully! Reading what you wrote here I can understand how you feel. I was lucky to have grown up in a family that loved me and I have been married to a man who though he doesn't really understand me, has been there most of the time when I needed him. But strength comes from accepting what has happened in your life, accepting it and moving on. You have done this and can see you have been fighting to do this. <br /><br />It is so wonderful that you can express what so many people cannot and that you have so many people who reach out to you from the internet. You are walking in His light and I wish you much success in your life.Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042784599292125679.post-26773769075982618582009-11-23T14:58:48.747-05:002009-11-23T14:58:48.747-05:00have been through so much and are in the process o...have been through so much and are in the process of healing.

Just don't listen to the thoughts of discouragement, only to the Holy Spirit teaching you how to better live your life. I wanted so desperately to raise my children better and as hard as I tried I have fallen short so many times. One time I confided in a friend when I caught myself guilting my children (always swore I would never do that!) and she reminded me that the difference for me, with Christ in me, was that I was bringing it back to him and he would help me do better the next time. He's very forgiving, you know. Yes, you do know! Praise God for His healing.<br /><br />This song is awesome! <br /><br />Be blessed.
