Heather, I think I trust in Him. It’s the ME I don’t trust.

Marianne, I wrote this because I’m sure I’m not the only one to feel this way. This is the kind of blogger I want to be: truthful in all things, no sugar coating here.

Thanks for asking about my girl. She’s walking on it now. It doesn’t seem to bother her too much.

Here’s the thing: it’s not about self-esteem when we get down to it. It’s about Christ-esteem. Do we trust Christ? Do we trust who Christ has made us? Do we trust what Christ has called us to? Do we trust the power of the Holy Spirit in us? Do we trust that God showed his love of his creation by sacrificing his son to redeem and restore us to him? Do we trust that he’s shining up that Imago Dei in us? Do we trust that when we are weak, he is strong?
Okay, I’ll stop now. Mostly because it’s too convicting to keep writing these words.

Monica, I think you’re really brave to post this. Whenever someone opens up on their blog and shows their vulnerabilities, I’m always blown away by that blogger’s courage.

You’re not alone; just last night, I was reduced to tears by the insane screaming of my toddler. He was overtired and is already a full-fledged member of the Debate Club so his tantrum was a humdinger.

At moments like those, I feel like all I do as mom is fall short of the mark. Not fun.

I don’t think there’s a soul on the planet who doesn’t have low times.

Hope your girl is getting around with her cast!
