Gosh, you are one of my heros! Parenting and working full time is a hard hard job. And I think God knows that and spends time with us between legos and left over dishes. And thank goodness for His gentle grace with us during these crazy years.

Thanks for sharing. I love this. It’s what I deal with as a single mom raising a special needs child while working a 9-5 job outside the home. I just had a conversation with God the other day (well, more like me telling Him) that I may not have been spending quiet time with Him lately but He is always on my mind the whole day.

They say it’s “just for a season” – but it’s the loudest season I’ve ever been through!

Thank you for writing that. I needed it. I have to agree with you. I hardly ever have a quiet time. The loud times with my family are the best!

AMEN! (If you didn’t guess, I said that loudly.)

Right back atcha! Your post on “measuring sticks” was so spot on – it moved me to write something in the same vein. Expect a ping back!

I love this post! So true and so fantastically worded glad you found me online – nice to “meet” you!

Thanks and I am thrilled to bump into another Michigander online! We lived in tiny Owosso – inbetween Flint and East Lansing – and loved every minute of our farm country, cornfields, big John Deere Combine experience there. My second son was born there, so it will always be a special place for us!

I came over from your link at Elizabeth Esther’s and found myself reading more than just your linked post! I like the way you put things. I’m a Michigan girl, so I was interested to see that you did stop off here for a bit. I look forward to reading more.

Yes, it takes the whole concept of having “faith like a little child” to a whole different level.
