Once again God has overwhelmed me with his love and kindness! I was so sad writing that last post, feeling a little betrayed and hurt. Feeling a little like I would need to keep my guard up from now on and maybe not post about all the things that I have posted about in the past...but then the sweetest thing happened....a dear lady, who will be from now on a dear friend, wrote to apologize. All of the sad feelings were instantly replaced by compassion as this mama explained that tragic circumstances in her own life had caused her to respond the way she did to my post that day. What courage it must have taken to write back to me to ask for forgiveness! God instantly changed my heart, and what could have been bitterness, is now an overwhelming love for this sweet mama who was hurting. If things had not happened the way they did I would not have this precious friend. What a testament to God's amazing love. It's absolutely beautiful how he can bond us and fill our hearts if we just lay aside our prideful human-ness and walk in his ways.
Oh dear friends, I feel so honored that you would all come here and read what I have to write, encourage me when I'm sad, and laugh with us when we are laughing! My outlook is so different now than what it was when I wrote that last post. I feel so blessed to be able to call you all friends. Thank you!

ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

I am so glad that 'alls well that ends well.'
What a beautiful story, I am glad for both of you to obey the Lord's prompting.

I just found your blog, but good for you for homeschooling! I may end up doing that with my oldest next year.
Don't let them bother you. They are the ones with issues!
