I too have begged God to change my childhood, and even begged for a strong older mentor woman. He said no. He did surround me with godly peers and his grace is sufficient.<BR/><BR/>Happily I too am breaking the cycle with my 2 lovely daughters. <BR/><BR/>Soul mates, you & I.

What a wonderful story your post told. Being a mom is the greatest priviledge and responsibility. It also brings us so many points of comparison from our own childhoods--some good and some bad.

The truth is, even if it's in only a small way, I know I did - and that's enough to make me smile. Thanks so much for sharing your heart, Julie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286085860738815724.post-71294667265015004962008-11-03T10:42:00.000-05:002008-11-03T10:42:00.000-05:00Julie...can I say that I am so blessed to come and...Julie...can I say that I am so blessed to come and read this post today.

He talked so eloquently about our early memories and how they continue to be "the stuff" of our struggles and our growth. <BR/><BR/>I see so much of my life playing out differently in the lives of my children...some good, some not so much. I especially watch my 6 year old daughter. She is cut from the same cloth, and I want her to grow up with a healthy sense of self and confidence...a contrast to my own beginnings. <BR/><BR/>You have beautifully penned what so many of us feel as we grow alongside our children as they grow. <BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.com
