Oh, I wish we could sit together and talk. Thank you so much for not only visiting my blog but taking the time to leave such a sweet message! I would love to hear your story!! It sounds like God has really done a work in your life, and that's so exciting to know more about. I saw your profile pic and your family is adorable. 4 kids, what a blessing!! I really thank God for planting this desire to adopt in our hearts, and know we couldn't imagine life any other way! :D<br />BlessingsLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977366023909553381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612451084605494093.post-83450647375520950242014-03-28T21:54:48.856-07:002014-03-28T21:54:48.856-07:00I typed a long comment out and I'm not sure wh...I typed a long comment out and I'm not sure where it disappeared to! I clicked on your blog from "I Take Joy" and your story has blessed me tonight! I wish you were nearby because I'd love to meet you!!! I'm adopted myself and not as a baby. My story is a long one and not your typical adoption story but God is faithful isn't he? I'm now married and have four birth children and a heart to adopt down the road. God wrote my story & I'm so glad he did. :-) may he richly bless you in your daily walk of motherhood!

I don't feel like I have much mommy "wisdom" at all right now, but I do love sharing some of my thoughts on our life with you all!<br /><br />Michelle, you must be so proud to have such wonderful kids! I'm sure you're an awesome parent. I'm trying to discipline in love, but I have much to learn. It's a daily asking of the Lord for help on my part to get it right. I'm just glad He has given me the opportunity to raise our children! :)<br />BlessingsLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977366023909553381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612451084605494093.post-9095261947110507702014-03-26T14:09:16.261-07:002014-03-26T14:09:16.261-07:00Great post.

I always let them know that even if they did something wrong and were disciplined that I still loved them. I am so proud of how they turned out. It makes me smile to hear what great kids I raised. I did it with a lot of Gods help !

That is wonderful. It also inspires me to be a better, more patient mommy. I really need to remember that (especially the point about how kids get upset over little things, but to them it is important. too often I have been far too harsh and said things like, that is such a silly thing to be upset about! -- I really needed to read this.

God has been faithful and will continue to be faithful as you lean on Him for wisdom and strength. Here's a link to a great book that I highly recommend to the young parents in our church. I loved reading it myself!<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/If-Jesus-Were-Parent-Coaching/dp/0978769805elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572872315082254364noreply@blogger.com
