I appreciate your openness about your feelings. thanks for sharing. Many times i hoard things. tithing is a good standard to start our giving by. A standard of giving can help us to tame the bad things in us.

Thank you for being so open! I’m enjoying reading your blog. Nathanael gave me the link. I’m his sister in law that’s been on bedrest for 5 weeks now. But this is our first, I can’t imagine having 2 little ones running around while being on bedrest! Praying for you!

Nathanael,

I am due on October 3rd, though now I am expecting that we will have this baby a bit before that. Please give my blessing to your sister-in-law: I know how hard prescribed rest can be (as delightful as it would have sounded to me even a week ago!).

With tears in my eyes, thank you for this post. Beautiful, honest, transparent…above all, so true. Thank you for baring your soul so our Lord could bare mine as I read. mmmmm…thank you, sister. I really needed to hear this.

When are you due? My sister-in-law has been on bed rest for the past month. She is due September 13th.

Thank you for being so honest. You are not alone in descending so quickly into animal responses to the “threat” of others. Your courage to say it aloud gives the rest of us hope that if we, too, can identify it as it’s happening, we can possibly overcome it and let a little grace into our hearts to be reflected back out again.

I wish I could cook for you … The next time I’m grumbling about needing to cook for someone here, I’ll try to remember how bad it feels not to be able when your heart really wishes.
