Valerie said...: Such a cute pic! Is this the family pet? Adorable!

I enjoyed reading your last two posts..."count it all joy" and "big girl".

I think that you are right...we definitely need to turn our trials and tribulations over to God, but I also think that if we put our trust in HIM, he will lead us to helping ourselves. I'm always tickled by the joke about the man who tries to get into heaven and when he finally gets there, says to God, "why didn't you help me/save me?" And God answers, I sent you a boat, some oars, and a life jacket...what more did you want? LOL

The parenting issue is so tricky. I agree 100% that it is our job, from the moment our children arrive in this world to teach them to become independent. That means answering their immediate cries as newborns so that eventually they learn that they can depend on others and that leads to healthy self-esteem and thus independence.

Yet in today's world, there are so many things that we need to shelter and protect our little ones from (thru those important teenage years!) that it's scary to grant too much independence too soon!

Such wonderful food for thought, Christy Rose...thanks for the great posts.

P.S. Thanks so much for dropping by...and yes, I have really begun to enjoy referring to my little men as "my boyS"!!!; May 18, 2010 at 11:42 AM

Heart2Heart said...: Christy,

I love this picture. It reminds me of the song by Corey Hart back in the 80's. I too wear them at night when I have a massive migraine it helps a whole lot to reduce the glare that can't be helped sometimes.

Welcome

just some insights into my thoughts and feelings about my life and what God is revealing to me and how i am experiencing His grace and mercy in so many ways. please feel free to comment and share your heart here too. i'd love to hear from you. you never know whose life you just might touch with your insights as well.

My First Blog Entry
March 27, 2009

laying my heart at the feet of Jesus
well, here goes. not really sure how this is going to go but i do believe it is in my heart to begin to share some of the things that God is doing in my life and secrets that live in my heart. i've really been inspired by a blog that i have just begun to read by a young, sweet mommy (what she calls herself). happening upon her blog was not an accident but, i believe, a direction from the Lord. as i have read much of what she has written from her heart, i've been moved to tears and smiled a lot, enjoying partaking of what she has shared. wondering if anything that i have to share might move anyone as her writings have moved me, i thought that i just might let some of my heart be opened to those interested in hearing the secrets in the heart of a wife and mom who sometimes feels as if she might drown in the difficulties of raising five children if it weren't for my God who is ever so merciful and His Grace who is ever so powerful. as i write this, tears stream down my own face, thinking of some of the situations that i am laying at the feet of Jesus at this very moment in my life. this seems to make it plain to me that going forward with this new adventure of blogging may just be a way for God to continue to remind me of His love and His goodness toward me. open heart surgery, with God's love as the knife, that's kind of what it feels like. cutting away the dead, useless pieces and repairing it with His intense, unconditional love. i hope that a few people are touched and moved to sharing their lives as well by reading some of what i may reveal of myself as i continue to lay my heart at his feet and trust Him to keep it and make it whole.
