You are an inspiration for other moms, like myself. I, too, can totally relate to wanting to hold on to our children and at times forget that they really do belong to our Heavenly Father. They really are his and I struggle with that as well. As a Mom, I want to squeeze tight and NEVER let go. One of my mommy friends recently recommended the following book to me: Learning to Let Go by Carol Kuykendall. I have yet to read it but it is all about just that... learning to let go of our babies and trust that God will lead the way.<br />Just thought I'd share. Thanks for blogging and allowing others (like me) to follow.

I often think of you as we answer questions about our weekly sermons at church. The strength that you have and the honor you bring to Him despite all of the hardships you've endured makes me feel so lucky to have stumbled onto your blog last summer. Thank you as always for your honesty and encouraging words. Your children are so lucky to have you as their Momma!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219406312337769973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-15861607317894456142012-05-17T11:14:10.190-05:002012-05-17T11:14:10.190-05:00I bet your Mom and Dad were very proud to have bot...I bet your Mom and Dad were very proud to have both baby Griffin and Webb dedicated!

I continue...I really like Griffin's dedication. I continue to be in awe at your faith and trust in God. After losing my husband, mother and father in a short 7 month period of time 3 years ago, I wondered if I had enough faith, hope and trust to move forward. But low and behold, He sent me tender mercies when my only son and his wife had their baby boy only one year after the last of those 3 amazing people passed away. My 3 kids live with me so I get to see my grandson (who turns 2on Sunday) every single day. The Lord called my 3 family members back home but He sent me those 3 children to be part of my every day life. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your family with strangers. I am only one of many who are glad we found your blog and admire you and your family so very much. Hold on as tight as you can and continue to trust the Lord. He knew what was best for your beautiful Cora and He knows what is best for you. He is aware and knows of your heartache and how much you miss her but she is safe in His arms for now. I hope you have a wonderful happy day today.Auntie EMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817854093078111017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-82932049440393827732012-05-17T08:59:57.594-05:002012-05-17T08:59:57.594-05:00I just started following your blog and I LOVE it. ...I just started following your blog and I LOVE it.

WE dedicated Weston and Ally together this past fall and it is such a special day, glad we were able to see a window into your day! LOVE LOVE LOVE your thoughts on how it can be overwhelming at time raising our children in the ways of the Lord, I read power of a praying parent last year and the thing I most took away was just to pray, cover them in prayer over every circumstance you worry about...even if it seems like something God wouldnt care about! <br />PS...you looked so cute, as did your whole family :)Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986466285538426475noreply@blogger.com
