He just laid there... very still for a week. He became a totally different person and we almost lost him. Excuse me for not wanting to go through that again. We would like to get our child vaccinated but not at the risk of killing him or having him become a zombie. Parents have a lot of different reasons for not getting their children vaccinated. The doctors and government tell us about the pretty, perfect package of vaccines but neglect to tell people that they have departments in the government who sole purpose is to deal with and pay families and military soldiers for the damage done to them by vaccines. It's not widely known but yes it is a real department in our US government and they really do have a fund for vaccine lawsuits because vaccines do injure and even kill some people. People should not be so judgemental of those who abstain from having vaccines. Vaccines have benefits but they can also be lethal and not everybody can get vaccinated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-26693224030039029522017-02-15T04:14:20.147-05:002017-02-15T04:14:20.147-05:00I truly appreciate this article.Much thanks again....I truly appreciate this article.Much thanks again.

I have faced many of the same issues, but the biggest one that bothers me right now and that will continue to be around is pressure and criticisms from relatives, friends, and church members that my children speak more English than our native language. In the little time that I have after their school, I do my best to teach them 'that' language, while giving 3 of them music lessons, doing their school homework with them, teaching them about God, good manners, and what ever else comes up. I should ignore, but it's hard when people remind you all the time. I especially 'love' to hear criticisms from people who have lived in America for 20 years and cannot understand or speak a thing, and they want my kids to be fluent in a language of another country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-70532702145176312632013-08-11T11:49:23.143-04:002013-08-11T11:49:23.143-04:00I love your article and the positive comments.

As far as pinterest goes....I love pinterest and creating/crafting is good for me because it gives me confidence that I'm good at something. Just saying, it's not THAT evil :-) I understand your point is that moms shouldn't compete with one another and make each other feel pressured to meet this looming, too-high standard in order to be approved as decent moms. I know that if we all over-explained our reasons and motives and intentions that at ground zero we all want the best for our children and ourselves. I don't pride myself in grinding my own flour to make homemade bread but those who do feel good about it...you go with your badass grinding selves. Same with all of the above arguments: feel good about your choices and let others feel good about their different-than-your choices. Feels good to let go!!!!! Kudos, Ginny, for starting a compelling conversation!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731246297022396797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-21121918761655478302013-08-11T11:23:09.866-04:002013-08-11T11:23:09.866-04:00Hahaha love this!Hahaha love this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731246297022396797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-49970981673860775092013-06-14T13:55:20.320-04:002013-06-14T13:55:20.320-04:00And if you raise your child without the help of a ...And if you raise your child without the help of a theological being they will turn out fine as well :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-27719601496828329282013-05-16T23:51:50.630-04:002013-05-16T23:51:50.630-04:00Because homeschooled kids are usually weird for th...Because homeschooled kids are usually weird for the fact they don't socialize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-72206270325399148752013-04-08T16:45:01.748-04:002013-04-08T16:45:01.748-04:00Amen!

I believe that if you love them protect them and allow them to be children you are doing an amazing job. I know that not all children are the same and they cannot be held to the same standards. I informed my sons kindergarten teacher, after I was summoned to a parent teacher meeting for his failure to color correctly, that I loved him and coloring was not important to me. So, unless he is verbally or physically abusive to another person or eats and EXCESSIVE amount of paste do not contact me for a meeting. She acted as if I was the worst parent on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-80302441836555465682013-04-04T12:29:07.624-04:002013-04-04T12:29:07.624-04:00Thank you so much for this paragraph: Somewhere al...Thank you so much for this paragraph: Somewhere along the way we began to believe a lie. And it is a LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL. The lie that there is one right way to be a mother. The lie that we must make every RIGHT decision or the consequences will be catastrophic. The lie that we can control our children's lives. The lie that being a failure as a mother is a fate worse than death.<br /><br /><br />I almost want to tear up reading that. I have three young children 5 and under and that statement is so powerful.

I do think it is so easy for us to decide that since we can't be perfect we should be complacent with whatever comes naturally and that should be OK. My desire is to be the wife and mother that God wants me to be and that will take hard work, constant learning from God's Word, and much mercy.

I was homeschooled my 7th, 8th, & 9th grade years, and transitioned right back into public school my 10th grade year with no problems. There is absolutely nothing wrong with homeschooling your child(ren) if that is what you choose to do! In fact, I take my hat off to you, because it takes more patience, time, and diligence than sending your child to public school.

I've been a Christian since I was a little girl. When my first and then second and third were born I became a huge breastfeeding zealot, to the point that I scorned mother's who didn't and didn't eat right and feed their kids whole grains and take them to organic veggie farms. I was THAT mom! Then my fourth child was born and God in His infinite wisdom used her to humble me. She had extensive GI and lung problems and ultimately ended up on a feeding tube with pre-digested formula that saved her life. Here I am a breast feeding zealot and formula saved my daughter's life! Later when we could entice her to eat by mouth we rejoiced over every potato chip, sip of Pepsi, and sips of chocolate milk that were more syrup than milk. To say I've become more compassionate is an understatement. I try now to live by James 1:2-4 and Micah 6:8 like you quoted. If we look to Him first, everything else falls into line.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946451520889462100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-12658038695368003002013-03-27T18:30:13.874-04:002013-03-27T18:30:13.874-04:00A dear friend linked me to your blog and to this a...A dear friend linked me to your blog and to this article. As a young mother, I found your honest letter timely and inspiring. Thank-you for sharing from your heart. I count myself blessed I could read these words in my novice mothering stage. It'll save me much unneeded pain, I believe, as I replace my own measuring stick with God's loving and good one. God bless you! <br /><br />I hope you don't mind I put a link on a post on my blog for my readers to check out your letter. If that's not ok, please let me know and I'll delete it.

I like to remind myself the truth that God was the perfect parent and look how adam and eve turned out.<br />I feel that as a new mum (22monthold boy and bun in the oven) comparrison is easy for me its been easy before i was a mum too! but it doesnt get me anywhere. i just need do what i feel is best. for times when i have no idea what is best i pray and then look around/anticipate solutions/expect God for wisdom. As parents I gotta trust God for the solutions to their individual needs/problems as well as my own now. Theres no formula to relationship with God its a living thing, our family life follows the same pattern its a journey, ebbing and flowing, mistakes and apologies, laughing and crying, living in the world and not of it, life and death.Jetzenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484718621708958434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-36045463321910894112013-03-27T10:12:15.039-04:002013-03-27T10:12:15.039-04:00Thank you, I whole heartedly agree with your wise ...Thank you, I whole heartedly agree with your wise words that were most certainly inspired by God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-45288148847912389532013-03-26T20:11:56.055-04:002013-03-26T20:11:56.055-04:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedd...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rwPg2oarG_c<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-3584155507736720092013-03-26T17:26:12.922-04:002013-03-26T17:26:12.922-04:00I am thirteen...not a mommy...yet I have seen many...I am thirteen...not a mommy...yet I have seen many moms who need this boost.

When I was a girl, my parents established rules and enforced them, but I was free to make my own mistakes (and guess what? Learn from them!). Largely because of external expectations, we desperately try to control everything our children do. As a result, they cannot do for themselves.
