But this mama is nervous. I'm not showing it and I'm not stopping her but I am sending up lots of prayers. I have a migraine too - so I have lots of sympathy for you Suzanne - I'll include you and yours in my prayers too.Islandsparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474765495506044446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-78324416809212506392007-11-06T06:02:00.000-07:002007-11-06T06:02:00.000-07:00I totally understand your misgivings about your ki...I totally understand your misgivings about your kids going so far off. It all boils to 2 things ( I think! LOL): using wisdom, and trusting God. When our son went to Kiev last summer for 2 weeks, (at age 17) I only struggled for about 30 seconds. Seriously. God just gave me grace and complete peace...thankfully!<BR/><BR/>I sure hope you and your hubby will have some wonderful time together.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898848282799974114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-5055876286544431372007-11-05T21:23:00.000-07:002007-11-05T21:23:00.000-07:00Enjoy the quiet house this weekend.

I want you to enjoy your quiet time on the weekend, you deserve it!!<BR/><BR/>How many kids in total do you take care of during the day?<BR/><BR/>I always tear up when I watch the OCC videos too. Such a great cause and an amazing opportunity to get the kids involved in doing something for others!

And God graciously kept me from getting into any more trouble than I did) and she wasn't a Christian at the time. Being a Christian mom, knowing the temptations and dangers, wanting to protect them from everything, I have a tendency to be over-protective. But my husband is very laid back, the "Oh, they'll be fine" type. So I guess we balance each other out. :-) But we've never held them back from any youth activity and they've all lived to tell about it so far.<BR/><BR/>Your plans for next Saturday sound ideal to me!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
