She is married and divorced. She has been dating a guy, but is not in love with him. I told her she should break up with him. She is afraid of being alone. I told her it wasn't a good enough reason. That she needs to shoot for the stars and expect the very best. She told me that she didn't think it was even possible given that she has seen so many terriable relationships around her, so why not just date without love. Anyway, then the idea popped into my mind that this was a trick of Satan. That if he could convince us that we didn't deserve the very best and that it was not possible to have what we want then well he has us. There will never be an ideal situation to have a baby. Never enough money, always a ton of work to do, and the list goes on. The thing is when a baby is born a miracle occurs. Somehow everything just works out! Satan has us convinced that we need to be perfect moms. Nope there is no such thing. We just do our best. The love in your family will expand and your house with be filled with joy. I don't know if you watch the Christmas devotion last night, but they encouraged us to go on Mormon.org and watch some of the stories. Anyway, I watched one of a guy who was a painter. He said life is messy and I love it. I agree. Life is messy, but with the help of a loving Heavenly Father we can get through anything.likeschocolatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01733431135937009206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-91562973583836175882011-12-04T16:32:52.331-08:002011-12-04T16:32:52.331-08:00Welcome Mama.

As far as I can tell- that means you are doing something right.<br /><br />I think that post about realigning why we want kids is great. I have to admit though- I really like the selfish aspects as well. Especially the snuggles I get. I am selfish like that. <br /><br />You'll get your baby soon and I bet your kids will be WONDERFUL helpers...Jennhttp://www.journeytothirty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-57096367863567737162011-12-02T15:46:41.523-08:002011-12-02T15:46:41.523-08:00WOW!
