I know what you mean when you say you sometimes feel as if you don't know what you are doing...I've often wondered why my kids didn't come with an instruction manual that would be so much easier.(lol) In our own strength the responsibility of being a parent is overwhelming I totally agree with you the scripture you shared We can do all things through Christ!! As you parent on purpose and put forth the effort you will be blessed with the fruit you will see. Its so important to start developing life long relationships with our kids from the very beginning of their lives! <BR/>You have a beautiful little girl! How exciting that she is growing up and what fun it is to see her accomplishments! You are blessed!Mamajilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641433887080390355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30570568.post-1266529708717098532008-07-20T17:25:00.000-06:002008-07-20T17:25:00.000-06:00Jackie,I know what you mean...they grow up so fast...Jackie,<BR/>I know what you mean...they grow up so fast!

I know I feel this way. It happens so fast, and without our permission. When I start to get upset about my girls getting so big so fast, I think of Hannah in the bible and how she knew before she even held Samuel in her arms that she would literally and physically be giving him to God in just a short, short time.<BR/><BR/>She really is too cute.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08766386944676634828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30570568.post-57222821287340541212008-07-19T12:42:00.000-06:002008-07-19T12:42:00.000-06:00Aw, sniff...sniff... she's not a baby anymore!
