My whole life I have been relying on my own strength. I didn't know what it felt like to be completely vulnerable. I have a stubborn, prideful heart. I grew up in a religion that taught me to try to get by through my works.
Motherhood is such a hard job, I began feeling like a failure, because I could not live up to perfection. Until this past weekend, when God laid on my heart that he died for me - not because of any works of mine, but because I am ungodly. He knew we were not perfect when he died for us. We do not have to earn his love. Only to receive it. And I feel so comforted.
For years - my entire life - I have felt the need to rise up to earn it. Only to never reach what i though was good enough. Because we are sinful people.
I felt guilty calling myself a Christian - thinking I hadn't yet earned it. I thought perhaps I should wait until I had stronger belief. But God knew we had shaky belief when he died for us. He didn't die for any perfection of our belief. He died for us because we are imperfect.
I had this revelation through God's grace over the weekend. He died for me, ungodly as I am, and all I need do is accept His sacrifice.
I have been missing so much. Thank you God, for melting my heart of steel.

Hi! I just want to say that nobody's perfect. And Jesus loves you just the way you are. 🕆❤☺
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
