And, remarkably, in the last week, before reading your post, I have been having many of the same thoughts myself. I have been pleading with the Lord that the spirit of fear which has come to dominate my heart and my home would more often be a spirit of hope and joy. Even the scripture verse you quoted about looking to God in every thought has been on my mind the last 2 weeks in a very poignant way. Thank you for all you share. During the last several months of emotional darkness for me, your blog was one of the few I could stomach. Thank you. Wish I could hear you at Women's Conference (I live too far away to come this year).Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146624605292795577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-74938990406908846252013-04-15T15:27:11.562-06:002013-04-15T15:27:11.562-06:00The orange rhino is the no yelling mom site.

There is one coming up in Park City on May 4th and I promise it is worth every penny of money and time that you make. It has changed my perspective on my children and my Mothering forever.chercardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314841357351024070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-32991662287879197902013-04-14T15:31:32.547-06:002013-04-14T15:31:32.547-06:00Once my husband said, "haven't you notice...Once my husband said, "haven't you noticed the rude things the kids have been saying? I wonder what is causing it?" I had to chimes in as the cause because if I am not careful I will say rude things all day long especially to punk 3 year olds who either break or write on everything.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05410224281751216152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-89808404136200003662013-04-12T11:14:03.323-06:002013-04-12T11:14:03.323-06:00Great post, Cheryl.

(it is the last half of the posting). like you, i am also grateful that my children and the Lord are merciful unto me. http://toddnjenifermoss.blogspot.com/2010/07/summer-ideas-chore-chart.htmlLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12323061018356173607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-88772557649488424672013-04-11T14:04:17.927-06:002013-04-11T14:04:17.927-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12323061018356173607noreply@blogger.com
