(my heart goes out to those who have lost recently. I know for a fact that the pain doesn't go away in a month).<BR/><BR/>Getting to this stage in the game, I'd have to say that I am kind of enjoying feeling like I am moving toward a different stage of the game (so there is the staying up awake at night) -- but my husband and I are committed to not doing anything to actually prevent conception, and we trust that we will be blessed if it does happenRPWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686240798146992394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-59084706484147314042009-01-15T18:46:00.000-06:002009-01-15T18:46:00.000-06:00Joy, thank you.

While I hurt and grieve for the loss of a child whom I will never hear cry, nurse contentedly, or cradle tenderly, far more sorrowful than little souls committed to the Savior's arms are tthe many, many souls who would not cry over these things... whose hearts are not breaking over the intentional murder of so many little lambs like the one of ours now held securely in Jesus' bosom.<BR/><BR/>Let us not only cry, but cry out!!ζωὴν περισσὸνhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082501906879213132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-46858873887882769022009-01-15T16:16:00.000-06:002009-01-15T16:16:00.000-06:00Pam, I wish I could hug you.

She and my father have been greatly blessed by God with 13 children. Early on they decided to allow the Lord to plan their family. She is uniquely qualified to hold this position because, in my 33 years on this earth, I have never heard her complain about diapers, late night lactation sessions, coming up with meals on a rural pastor’s salary, or dealing with homeschooling. She is a loving and caring mother and more than willing to answer questions on breastfeeding (an expert in her field with 30 yrs. constant experience), homeschooling, or living with large families.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566055197730422533.post-6032425502115760602009-01-13T23:19:00.000-06:002009-01-13T23:19:00.000-06:00Hey Rebekah, can we just say 'Titus 2 women?'
