While I have never dreamt of hurting my children like that, I have longed for my childless days when I had nothing but time and no one pulling on me 24/7. So sad...being a stay at home mom is very isolating--maybe if she had Jesus she could have at least turned to prayer to get her through instead of doing what she did.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379979515621847791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243468165683187818.post-5023605453313410612007-12-01T11:35:00.000-08:002007-12-01T11:35:00.000-08:00I think it is a natural tendency to "hunker down" ...I think it is a natural tendency to "hunker down" when things are tough, and it's not all bad. Putting our entire focus on our family and on rest is not a bad thing, to a point. At the same time, the big "me-time" thing is not where I'm going with this either. There is a balance.<BR/><BR/>Being a mommy calls us to become (daily!) incredibly unselfish. We have to lay down our lives, following Christ's example. However, there is a limit to our humanity. We do get tired. I think we have to constantly be in prayer about which we need to do - lay down our lives, or take a break and regroup. :)Sara Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073365477295586429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243468165683187818.post-4063205847967501502007-12-01T11:24:00.000-08:002007-12-01T11:24:00.000-08:00Just what I needed (maybe not wanted) to hear.

Yes, we need to have the humility to ask for help and realize in our independent-super-woman driven society, that interdependence is a much healthier way to live!Marianne Elixirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394688588187240026noreply@blogger.com
