Well, I am not going to allow her to read it yet, as she doesn't need her heart stirred like that quite yet, but I must say I was "bitten" too.<BR/><BR/>I usually enjoy reading really good writers, and Stephanie is certainly not that. But she does have a gift to draw you in, teenagers or almost 40 yr olds alike. I only read the first one, as a few friends said the books get worse, and one said she could barely get through the last one. Should I reconsider???<BR/><BR/>Nice to meet you.Farmboy and Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468429279918964719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608150617318229846.post-70381598056688242112009-01-26T17:26:00.000-08:002009-01-26T17:26:00.000-08:00Four days, are you nervous?

The day I booked the tickets I brokedown and cried for hours because I was so freaked! So I undestand. Just know that God will give you all that you need -- but I tell you -- parenthood truly makes you feel small and makes you rely on Him all the more!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752430344309592085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608150617318229846.post-36963968756693411742009-01-22T16:56:00.000-08:002009-01-22T16:56:00.000-08:00ohh Feb 7th is my bday so it must be right:) Can't...ohh Feb 7th is my bday so it must be right:) Can't wait to hear the good news about this court date! <BR/>I think motherhood panic-ing is perfectly normal. I still panic infact last night I set on my bathroom floor after a big scare involving Riley and claritan and said what am I doing??? to the Lord. I feel like I am failing on the motherhood front right now because my children won't listen and no matter how many times a day I am cleaning my house it gets destroyed and needs to be redone. So, thus my meltdown of "what am I doing-poor me -I am not worthy of being a mom-" The cool thing is we have a Father who cares and hears our hearts and sees our worries and concerns. He reminded me of something in my heart and that He is here with me. You are going to do fine ,it is a journey for sure but a good one and well worth the sacrafices we make. Oh and I went to the library today and much to my dismay the twilight series was already checked out I am dying to read them....Guess I'll have to buy thembeemadeneuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13143577576402037855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608150617318229846.post-78033420645833628982009-01-22T08:54:00.000-08:002009-01-22T08:54:00.000-08:00Hey SAra:) I found your blog through your facebook...Hey SAra:) I found your blog through your facebook page...or maybe it was DAvis' page, but, I just wanted to say that it made me smile (hopefully not at your expense), as I read about the internal wrestle that you are going through about being mama and going through the very large change that it brings. I know I am younger than you but my brain is in a very similar place as Joey and I have been wrestling with the same thing for quite some time..the strong longing to be a parent and the other strong longing to stay free:) lol. My mom has given me some awesome scriptural encouragement..not too many things on this earth does God describe as a blessing, but children, he does, "Children are a blessing from the Lord...Psalm 127:3-5..your taking a plunge of faith and God will rock your socks off:). Plus, in case you didn't already know..you will be like the hottest non-vampire mom on Earth!!! haha:) seriously though:)Casey Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979686059026867887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608150617318229846.post-71850975714775633512009-01-21T18:01:00.000-08:002009-01-21T18:01:00.000-08:00Great post Sarah.

You won't believe how much love you have for your girls. More than you ever thought you had to give! Being a mom to my kids has made me a better person. I can't wait to continue following you on your journey. A friend of mine gave me a book called Sacred Parenting. Wow, what a book. It is about how being a parent changes you. Amazing read if you have the chance. <BR/><BR/>As far as Twilight...I need that support group too! I think I read them just about as quick as you. I was always dashing out the door to Half Price Books for the next one!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03063292056947188205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608150617318229846.post-32209142771938087742009-01-21T10:18:00.000-08:002009-01-21T10:18:00.000-08:00I'm glad to see you back blogging.

I actually saw the movie with school in early Nov. and then HAD to read the books. I read them over Thanksgiving break and then gave them to my husband to read. We've seen the movie 3 times! <BR/><BR/>I have actually thought about buying our plane tickets already! :) <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear things went well on your court date! Its so soon!!!! :)Sparkzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237775460525021061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3608150617318229846.post-3555076827662247402009-01-21T07:54:00.000-08:002009-01-21T07:54:00.000-08:00You aren't the worst blogger! Thank you for being...You aren't the worst blogger! Thank you for being transparent enough to share what's going on in your heart. Besides, WE KNOW you are going to be a wonderful mother even if your inner self is doing the selfich dance. I think that parenthood is a part of our sanctification process, because it certainly involves dying to ourselves, and it helps us to understand just a little about God's love for us, his children. As soon as you hold those little girls, Satan's arrows of doubt will drop away. And even if you still feel weird, there will be no time to be selfish, because someone will need to be fed/changed/soothed. That's another way God jolts us out of ourselves: the total dependence of others on YOU! You will not have the energy to think about anything other than them for a while. Much love to you and prayers on your behalf, StephAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
