You are a FABULOUS friend and I love you so so much!Leigh Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176512537947644956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309841446783990550.post-76722829216335431812016-01-26T22:21:10.285-05:002016-01-26T22:21:10.285-05:00Your tracking project sounds interesting!

Would love to know the results. :)<br /><br />And I know just hearing someone say it doesn't make it feel true, but you are a FREAKING AWESOME mom, and the fact that you're even wondering if you're doing it "right" tells me you're way ahead of the curve. You love them. You point them to God. You make sure they don't kill each other or small animals. If you lose your temper or forget to treasure a special poo, I think you're still doing the most amazing work. :) I'm sure we'll all be able to look back on life and wish some things were done differently, but as long as you have some special moments to look back on (and no, not every moment is special), then my bet is you won't regret it. :)<br /><br />I can't speak to the parenting guilt, but I can tell you there are moments of sheer terror where I feel like I've done ____ [fill in the blank with marriage, my schooling, being a daughter, a sister, a friend] completely wrong and messed it up beyond repair. In my saner moments I try to think about that stuff as an opportunity to see God's mercy in action. But in the moment I definitely freak out and usually eat chocolate.<br /><br />Love you! And love this!! Keep it up!aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995509824990103805noreply@blogger.com
