I have gripping moments of just fear for their safety (kidnappings, falls, burns, car accidents... there is all sorts of things my imagination comes up with), but I know I just have to pray and leave it all in God's hands.<br /><br />Great post.. Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

I can't ima...Love this post and so true Greta. I can't imagine a mom without fear. A natural response God gives us to remind us to put our faith in him, our trust in him, that he truly is in control. Easy to say right:) One thing I do...try to do, is as soon as that fear or thought enters my mind, I try to stop right there, freeze it, think of a scripture to change that fear into peace. This is why memorizing scripture is so big (I am telling myself this right now as I write this because I know, but not always do) so when we feel these feelings of fear, insecurity, worry, we can grab onto truth that God has written on our hearts. With that said, I know without a doubt that YOU are an amazing mommy who has the most beautiful boys with such beautiful hearts. This is a reminder to me to practice what I have said here, knowing how helpful it can be but so hard to do when that fear creeps up on us and takes laps around our thoughts before we can even realize it. So thankful for you Greta and you are touching so many women each day by your willingness to be true and transparent.

My daughter is only a few months old and like you, I couldn't stop worrying about how she will turn out to be and If I am doing things right. But you know what, we can only do so much. As moms, we just have to do our best and trust the rest to Him... It's all in His plans. :)kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489694197065687558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367618772635732943.post-90680533229924675342010-10-30T08:38:47.669-07:002010-10-30T08:38:47.669-07:00Ana--now it's my turn to wipe tears from my ey...Ana--now it's my turn to wipe tears from my eyes...I love your recipe analogy!

Greta, you said it al...*wiping tears from my eyes*<br /><br />Greta, you said it all so very well. I too have a husband who is chill and relaxed, reassuring me about my parenting fears, always telling me that God has these two little guys in the palm of His hand. Parenting is one scary adventure, but it's amazing at the same time. A conundrum of emotions. A mysterious recipe of love, discipline and laughter...hoping we are baking them at the right temperature to produce Godly men...strong men...happy men...men ready to face whatever the world throws at them.<br /><br />Your post reminds me always hit my knees :) Thank you for putting into words exactly what my heart says every day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382081217348597368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367618772635732943.post-26583965033126232002010-10-30T07:43:00.131-07:002010-10-30T07:43:00.131-07:00This is such a beautiful post!!
