I just appreciate it that God does not seem to be limited by my mistakes and keeps teaching me these new and life-giving ways to love these children where they are. So glad it is never too late to change, or we'd all be in big trouble! Thank you again for your encouragement. It means a lot!Beth Templetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792834805646222374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664215418091934176.post-86508052011456273892011-06-22T21:40:43.329-04:002011-06-22T21:40:43.329-04:00Thank you for time and again posting what I need t...Thank you for time and again posting what I need to hear! I wonder if you have a hidden camera in our house...in my heart..especially when you write about how NOT to do things.

I always have to be careful not to share too much so I can always honor our children. Colleen, I love those scriptures. I have become convinced that God alone can make these things right and am learning how to rely on him for this, rather than on myself or my children. It's been quit the process! Wendy, I heard this about Paul's words to the Corinthians in a teaching by Rob Rufus about grace and then a book by Joseph Prince all in one week. It totally intrigued me too. I really wanted to share it--I'm so glad it spoke to you.Beth Templetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792834805646222374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664215418091934176.post-39619503205512644052011-06-22T14:06:40.875-04:002011-06-22T14:06:40.875-04:00Beth!!

That brought tears to my eyes!

This article was just truth from start to finish. It is when we start to speak God's truth over our children that change begins to occur. They become who God calls them to be when we speak this out. Love the scripture Isaiah 58:11-12 on your blog as this is surely what God desires to do with His beloved orphans - see them saved, healed and delivered in order to use them to restore the waste places and rebuild the walls of their homelands. God is making things aright in this world (Eccl.10:5-7) by taking the least of these and putting them in the palaces of kings (Ps 113:7-8) <br />Love this blog! Keep it up. <br />Love ColleenColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203875038724358752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664215418091934176.post-6789522199380225562011-06-22T12:14:00.869-04:002011-06-22T12:14:00.869-04:00This is such a wonderful method of parenting...I j...This is such a wonderful method of parenting...I just wish there was a manual of sorts that can retrain everything we have learned about parenting!
