My prayer while writing (or letting the Spirit write through me) this was that it reach as many mommas as possibly who need to hear this truth. You reposting it could only help!!

Little did I realize that I would stumble onto your site. One of the firs things I noticed was your testimony. Praise the Lord! I may not be the co-sleeping, baby wearer that you are but everything else just about lines up. It's not often you run into other "Christian-Natural-Mommies"! So I lingered on your site and WHAM! This post hits me in the face! I have been struggling with these very things for days now. I know what I should do but doing it seems to take everything that my tired, mother of two body has in it. Why is it that the best things for us are sometimes the hardest? Shouldn't dwelling on God's word be the easiest thing is the world?! None the less, I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to use this post in my blog (the credit is all yours) because you have managed to say something that has been weighing heavy on my heart in better words than I can form.

I have visited your site a couple of times, and as I read this blog today I find myself looking at a reflection of where I am today! It is my 32nd Birthday, spent away from family (due to the fact I am an Army wife), and I have two boys under 2 1/2 and the words I read resonate within my spirit. I KNOW I need to go back to God, and not neglect Him! Thank you for writing, and posting this. God Bless!!

Thank you for your words! What an encouragement to us mommies - I will dsmit, I have looked at your pix and blogs and crafts and recipes and felt defeated at times because I could never come close to what you appeared to be - having it "all together" - but that is sin on my part. I should know better. NO one has it all together - we are all clinging to grace! Just another reminder that I/we need Him so badly! Thanks again! .-= Mama V´s last blog ..<a href="http://babblingbutterfly.blogspot.com/2010/06/mmmmmmmmonday-2.html" rel="nofollow">Mmmmmmmmonday 2</a> =-. Oh, Beth. Thank you for your words!

We are reading Romans right now together as a family, my husband me and our 5 month old son. Between that and the book of John, you can't help but realize it's pure faith and belief on the Jesus. No works will do. Isn't it amazing he draws us to us? Even when we've been so far for so long. Amen. We are reading Romans right now together as a family, my husband me and our 5 month old son.
