You're doing the best you can and that's amazing in itself! <br /><br />I learned something this past weekend in a Bible Study: principles versus methods. The principle is that the kids need to be fed...which methods you use, as long as they are legit and safe, don't matter in the long run. "Focus on the principle and hold the methods lightly." :) Jordy Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624228411220345728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322750736394612048.post-10172008081488646432013-11-05T11:47:11.581-06:002013-11-05T11:47:11.581-06:00Leslie, I feel like you've been watching me th...Leslie, I feel like you've been watching me through the windows of my soul!! And my house too. =P When we get stressed, our bodies react by getting sick. Not nice, is it?? We are two months in with our 3 littles under 3, and we've all been sick and lost our tempers and asked for forgiveness so many times that I've lost count. Thanks for sharing your heart, and let me encourage you from one foster mom to another - it gets easier! Then it's hard again, and then easy again. Ha. But trust me, you are not a failure. Even on my worst days, I know that my littles are MUCH more safe and loved with me than they have ever been before. And they are thriving! That's what you need to see when the enemy puts those "FAIL" thoughts in your brain. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809306541245999212noreply@blogger.com
