Must Be Doing Something Right

I often wonder how the divorce will effect the kids. I hear all the statistics about kids from divorced families and it scares me. I worry that I’m not doing a good enough job. I often questions my parenting choices.

But tonight, I feel proud. I feel confident that I can do this. I think things are going to be okay. Can I share something with you? Take a moment to brag about how awesome Kolt is?

Kolt going to Sunday School was very important to me. Not only for social interaction but more importantly to learn the Bible from a early age. At first he really struggled with leaving mommy to go to Sunday School.  He had a hard time leaving mommy, but now he loves going to his class all by himself. And I received this unexpected e-mail from his Sunday School teacher tonight.

I just wanted to let you know how wonderful Kolt is doing in Sunday School.  It’s hard to believe he is the same little guy from just several weeks ago.  The one wonderful quality I want you to be aware of is just how kind he is to the others in class.  Each week he is quick to share his coins from Pap with others and he always is very attentive to others and their needs.  I have taught the 2 year old class for many years and I rarely see the attribute shine through as much as it does with Kolt.  Just wanted to pass that along and let you know you are doing a wonderful job of teaching this little man.

I love how God uses people around us to tell us exactly what we need to hear, exactly when we need to hear it. And I can’t take all the credit….the big man upstairs helps out an awful lot!

A Real Father

These are going to be some strong words. I have a feeling they might offend a few people. But they are honest words, straight from my heart. And I need to say it.

I Deserve

I’m far from being healed from my divorce. I still struggle pretty much every single day. But I’ve also done a lot of growing over the past year. I’ve reflected on my mistakes and have learned a lot from them. One of the many things I’ve learned is that divorce is ugly and it brings [...]

I’m a huge fan of Ergo. I first purchased an Ergo when Kolt was around 6 months old. I feel in love at first use. It was comfortable. It was easy to use. What more could I ask for? I bought an infant insert when I was pregnant with Em. But I rarely used it. [...]
