This is an amazing article. I read it about 3 months ago, and today is a day that I need to read again something like this. I have a question for you... I need some advice. My son is 12 months old and learning how to walk. He's all over the house. I try to allow him to walk in the family room where I can see him. However, now all he wants to do is walk. Gone are the days of sitting in the pack and play quietly with his toys. I'm 2 months pregnant with baby#2 and it's REALLY tiring to run around him. Do I need to teach him to stay still? If so, how? Are boys just more active and NEED to walk around? When does correction/spanking begin? I love my kiddo a lot but I feel like there has to be a way in which he can learn to be still for a while... I just don't know how to accomplish it. I sound a little desperate and... I am! Any wise words are appreciated. :) Hi! This is an amazing article.

I wish someone had shared this with me when my son was younger. Now that my son is older, I try to encourage moms with little ones. It's so hard to be in the trenches. Thanks for being a Titus 2 Woman! Oh what great advice! I wish someone had shared this with me when my son was younger. Now that my son is older, I try to encourage moms with little ones.

I have those children aging, and I have a new one, just born in June. I've been amazed looking at my older children realizing just how fast this time has flown. When I look back over the years, I smile. It makes me want to grab on to every single moment with my littles. The days will be gone in a wink. You have a lovely family! <3 Lisa, what a beautiful post! I have those children aging, and I have a new one, just born in June.

It is just the balm my weary soul (and body) needed for the day (week, month, year...). I have 4 children ages 8months -8 years. We adopted #3 last year and meeting his emotional, training and medical needs is exhausting. Today, I really needed the encouragement. Lately, I have been struggling with the 'so much to do, no time to do it' syndrome as I watch my sisters and others work away in their ministries, while I am at home. Honestly, feeling stuck at home with the same thing day in and out, with no glimmer of hope. Thanks for encouraging me in the trenches of motherhood and helping me to keep it ever present that raising these children for the Lord IS my ministry at this time. It's also nice to know that paper plates are must haves. :) I must spend a fortune on them every month! hee hee. This is my first visit here, and what a blessing and encouragement this post has been.

"The days can be long, but the years are short!" The Lord has blessed me with two children and I can definitely become overwhelmed at times with keeping up with all the little daily details.

I have 19 of your posts waiting in my reader right now ... I have been horribly absent and alone and wonderfully busy and your words were everything I needed to hear and more. You are such a blessing in my life. I wonder if you have any idea how many conversations I have with you in my head :) Up there you & I are very close, in my heart too. ~ Stacy There I was about to slip off to bed when I got this overwhelming urge to see what you’ve been up to lately … I have 19 of your posts waiting in my reader right now … I have been horribly absent and alone and wonderfully busy and your words were everything I needed to hear and more.
