So, I rest in the fact that no I am not perfect, but I am the perfect mom for them because He designed it that way. They are turning out to be who God designed them to be and part of that is influenced by me. I don't always like what I see in myself and therefore in them. God has shown me that mothering is the biggest growth experience we could ever venture on for so many reasons. It shows us where we need to change and it also gives us a glimpse into Hie eternal undying love for us. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your heart yet again. It was such a great reminder for this mom who still struggles daily to keep my priorities and perspective in order. <br /><br />Still praying for you all.....Lajeunesse Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529083021903048079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-32965283015839128862011-01-11T21:33:54.532-05:002011-01-11T21:33:54.532-05:00Stacy,
I know our situations are different and I...Stacy, <br />I know our situations are different and I can't really say I completely understand what your going through. Even though I had unexpectedly lost my son at two months old and almost two months ago,and I still feel as if i'm living someone else's life.<br /> I admire your strength and I can truly say my heart aches for you. <br />How ever I do understand the love that a mother has for her child, and I too have Two wonderful children 9 and 7 who are what I use to say, left with a broken mother and felt guilty for feeling like I wasn't meeting up to my own expectations.<br /> I have been following your blogs and it almost seems as if I have one of those days myself I just coincidently go to your blog and it's as if you read my mind...yet we are two different people with two different situations...yet the same in that we both lost a child.I will never be the same and I too agree that I wouldn't want to be and although I doubht my self at times, I also have learned alot from this long painful journey.<br />Although we walk this road, sometimes feeling alone I am reassured that we are exactly who and where we ought to be. I know the journey has just begun and I know I will feel more hurt and pain along the way but at the same time I have felt more joy than I ever have in all my life and I inquired a love that continuly grows stronger every minute of everyday for myself my children my family and friends and I owe it all to My little Mister Owen. I am a better mother thanks to him.He had a purpose much greater than I could ever fathom and I am truly blessed to have even carried him, they are our Angels, our gift from god. <br />I think of you and your family often and I look forward to your blogs, as I find comfort and reassurance in reading them. I don't really have a point as to why I'm writing and I apologize for rambling so I just felt the extreme need, so I did.<br /> I hope each day fills your heart with love, peace and joy in knowing that you are truly helping others, as you have helped me.<br />From one Mother to another, Thank You!!!<br />Sincerely,<br />HiediOwen's mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338268875792792082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-82436783420769237712011-01-11T20:17:38.091-05:002011-01-11T20:17:38.091-05:00Oh Stacy.

Rachel and all of your children have done that for you. I see how you love them and how happy they are, and how they love you. You are a wonderful mother and everything THEY need. They are cheerful, content children that are full of JOY and a love & excitement for life! That shows a lot of who their mother is-you love them, you are full of joy, you are full of God's grace. He has blessed you and He has blessed your children as well because you have decided to obey & follow Him. They benefit GREATLY because of your walk with the Lord! God sees what a wonderful mother you are, even if some people don't see. God is going to richly reward you for being a wonderful mother! I wonder if He's got a big pink jewel in your crown in heaven waiting for you-for being Rachel's mom, not to mention a different color for each of your kids maybe :) And all to lay it all down at His beautiful feet. What love! When I see your children I see awesome, sweet natured, beautiful, happy kids- and it is because they have a wonderful & sweet mother in you, Stac.<br />I love you girl! Keep doing what you're doing because they turned out pretty awesome! :) And I know that they will be more than alright- they will be great. And they will have the most important thing in life-they will (some of them do) grow to know & love God. What a wonderful gift.

No one is perfect, but you are certainly MIL1ION!

Through the years, there has been no word or deed to change that. <br /><br />Love, MomRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680639697554471976noreply@blogger.com
