I’m not sure how well this post will be received. It might get me lynched. That’s okay. There is something on my heart that I feel I HAVE to say. Ya might not like it. You probably WON’T agree with it. You may even click right out and never come back. I can deal with that. Although that’s not exactly what I’m going for.
Obedience. Obedience. If One much ~greater ~than ~I prompts me to write a post, well…then I’m gonna write a post. I know who I want to please. And I know that even if I don’t understand the reasoning, it’s ALL GOOD. For the greater good. So I will happily and boldly obey.
My goal here is to help you see the TRUTH. But not mine. And not the worlds version of it either.
I don’t usually post about news/politics etc. It’s just not my thing. But I’m kinda making an exception. By now, we ALL KNOW what happened at Virginia Tech. How could we not. It’s everywhere. I’ve seen the news. I’ve read the posts. I know how you feel. I feel the same way. So I’m not getting into feelings. I’m more interested in attitudes. The attitudes of our hearts. It’s SO *not our place to judge, and yet…Has anyone done anything besides condemn this sick sick child? Like pray maybe. Because if not then….
You know what? I’m not going to go any further. I’m just going to sit back & let Him speak for Himself.
He says it SO much better than I could anyway.

- I agree with you that this guy was sick. From the little bit of the story I saw on the news (turned it off because I couldn’t handle it anymore) I saw that more than one teacher was concerned about his mental health & recommended that he get help. Unfortunately his actions up to that point, which consisted of writing papers about killing people, weren’t serious enough for action to be required. Sick as he may have been he was obviously competent enough to take care of himself at the age of 23, knew he had issues & should have gotten help for those problems. I feel for his family. I’m sure they are not only grieving his loss but also wondering how this happened to ‘their boy’ and I’m sure blaming themselves as often happens when loved ones are lost.
- Hey girl! Thanks for the post. Wonderfully correct. People seem to get so caught up in selfishness and zoom in on the wrong problem. Yes, the shootings were a problem. However, they were a result of a bigger problem. A heart problem. Possibly a problem that some of our fellow brothers and sisters ingnored. This young man needed Jesus…as do so many. He needed to be loved and befriended. Sometimes it’s just easier to ignore people than to bear their burdens….so fulfilling the law of Christ. I agree. Thanks for the post. I hope people read it and see the truth in the words, and maybe even feel a little conviction for ignoring and blowing off troubled and withdrawn people in their own life instead of trying to help and be a friend to them. Sorry its been so long since I have been on…I have felt very out of touch these last few days…hope to see you at my blog.
- I can only imagine how his family must feel. They are the ones that will be the hardest hit in the long run. Their name will live on in history. I once had a friend that would not give out his last name since it was Manson.
Posting what you have said should only bring people to read more of what you say. If they do not like it, then they are not the audience that you yourself would wish to speak to in person. Just my thoughts, Mark
- she is gorgeous!! Great pic!!
- What a great photo. It would make a fantastic scrapbook page.
- She is adorable.. I cant tell if she is confused or a bit mad
- What a little diva! She’s a beauty!
- LOL that pic was taken after 2 days of disney when we were about to go home ~ so she was probably both:)
- lol, i’m a deLurker now I guess.
Look at that face!
Jadyn’s just starting to make those!
Think about what you’re tryin to do… er sorry. That song is totally stuck in my head. What? It’s stuck in your head too? How ironic. Wait~what..oohhh .. it’s only stuck in your head ’cause.. my bad.
I *think I’ve had one of those bloggy moments. You know, the one where you realize that there’s this whole little bloggyworld out there and you’ve somehow become part of it. Actually, what I’m realizing is that its a BIG BIG bloggyworld out there. And some amazing moms behind them. Moms that you want to be just like when you grow up. Moms like Youngmommy who is a so~much~better version of me than I am. So imagine my surprise when she tagged me with the
She made me sound So great I almost wanted to check myself out. Not like that! Think NICE thoughts! And ya wanna know the best part? It involves *making a list. I KNOW! Aren’t you excited? WOW. Really… you don’t have to do cartwheels… Just sit back down…
And go check out 5 bloggers who make me think

A Not So Desperate Housewife ~ Rebecca ~ is the absolute awesomest. She’s my 1st bloggy friend & my 1 faithful reader. lol. AND she even humors me with comment lists! You can tell that she’s the mom you could just chill with all day. No matter what you were doing. Or how WILD your kids are being. And even though she *thinks she’s just waiting for the world to change, I think she’s helping to change it

I was just led to Especially Heather yesterday but I was completely engrossed in what she wrote & how she wrote it. When I read about her baby girl I could SO relate. I’ve been there! When I read about what she is going through now I thought “I could never do that” and especially not with the grace that pours out of her. Unknowingly, she reminds me to be thankful that our savior is not just your average everyday hero.

Charity of Arrows In Our Quiver really makes me think. She makes me think “How does this sweet little girl have it SO together, and what does that say about me?” lol. If you are ever, ever EVER feeling down & out, need a shoulder or an ear, encouragement or support, or just straight up need to feel like somebody loves ya THIS is the place to go!

The mom behind Always A Work In Progress is a true Titus2Woman. She cracks me up with the peepee dance and other silliness. Most of all she challenges me, in those wifely areas… and encourages me to strive to be a better wife, mom & woman. AND she gives the best (((hugs&prayers))).

Ya’ll are making me stand up right in the midde of lurkerville for this one, but if I’m givin you blogs that make me think then I’ve gotta tell you about Rockstar Mommy. I’m not sure if this awards thing is really the way she rolls.. but the very 1st post I ever read on her blog brought home a HUGE lesson that I was being taught. If you looked up a comparison for our little corners of bloggy world it would probably come up under antonyms. You would be looking this up on Encarta, of course. ‘Cause that’s just how we look things up around here. We are both moms, and our instinctive *mom feelings, emotions, fears… they are all the same on the inside. It’s just the way we express them on the outside that’s different.

Here is a little glimpse of how my mind works. For better or for worse. (Probably more worse than better. ) I’m not sure exactly why I am telling you this. It’s not a great mystery or anything. There’s no new Theory of Relativity hiding out in there . Just in case you were thinking that maybe there was.
I was sitting here, trying to write my last post. It takes concentration ya know, I have to entertain my readership of 100’s. Ok really it’s 1’s. 1 to be exact, But 100’s sounds much better dont’cha think? So, if it’s ok with you, we’ll just stick with that.
I found a link to this blog in another blog I like to read. The post caught my attention. You might want to read it at naptime. It’s a post that moms can relate to, not children:) I wanted to say something to her. So I started to leave a comment and I used the word PONDER. And then I looked at the word. And I thought, that’s a cheesy word. It doesn’t express exactly what I want to say. So I looked it up. I don’t know why, I just did.
I remembered how useful MSN Encarta is. They gave me 12 other options to use instead. I say ‘they’ like there is somebody out there on the other side of that site, just waiting to think up synonyms for me to use. That would be cool though. Well, maybe not so much for them. There were 2 articles listed. One was something about Ponder Heart (a book apparently, just in case you are dying to know), and the other was Kentucky Derby Winners. WHY would that come up under ponder? Is someone out there pondering Kentucky Derby Winners. Do I really care?
Aaaand I totally forgot to leave the comment! So much for my Bloggy Etiquette Award.
- I had that same ‘huh?’ when I saw Kentucky Derby winner come up. (I clicked on the link you had for ponder). RSM is definitely not G rated but relatable. (Blogger didn’t know that was a word but MSN confirmed it was for me). She’s got a life of hurts that she’s come out of, or coming out of I guess. But she loves her husband and kids. When I came across her site ‘blog evangelism’ came to mind. Oh and thanks for the link to my blog, I am honored.
- that msn comes in handy:) i agree. what i realized while reading through her blog was that our outward expressions may be completely opposite, but all moms have the same basic doubts and fears.
They said WHAT?
