I guess so, but that doesn't allay my fears that just gives a reason to have kids. But anyway, I think I'll get to that point some day. Just not now.Michelle Glauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646213573761736892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930072072041017517.post-4372437570957546612008-07-25T12:28:00.000-05:002008-07-25T12:28:00.000-05:00Nice post--very genuine.

I also have a schlew of other fears in my mind for Israel.<BR/><BR/>1. Is he getting enough to eat?<BR/>2. Is he happy when he's awake?<BR/>3. When will we find out the results of his blood test? What will the answer be?<BR/>4. How do we know if we're doing everything right and giving him what he needs?<BR/><BR/>I've even found myself being scared that he may have stopped breathing in his sleep...<BR/><BR/>My only solution to fear is to pray about it. My sister, Kate, told me that if God isn't big enough to understand our fears then He isn't who He says He is.<BR/><BR/>I join you in feeling uncertain about feeling safe in this world and not having the answers to the toughest questions about life. I will also join Amberly in praying for you and Chad as you discover the plans God already has for you and yours.DRUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11349659736092947846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930072072041017517.post-36022746296029857592008-07-23T22:02:00.000-05:002008-07-23T22:02:00.000-05:00Good post, thanks for putting that out there.

I don't even have a dog and don't know anyone with kids, what makes me think I'd be able to handle it?? Scary stuff. <BR/><BR/>Great pictures, Emma is adorable. :)jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598678568089992654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930072072041017517.post-83015593187952177062008-07-23T15:49:00.000-05:002008-07-23T15:49:00.000-05:00you are brave, friend. anyone who can write like ...you are brave, friend. anyone who can write like that is brave. honesty takes guts.<BR/><BR/>i will pray for you. mostly, i will pray that the perfect love of Jesus will drive out fear, and that you can live and make decisions that are not fear-driven or fear-based. i pray that fear and anxiety would begin to melt, and that peace would take over your heart and soul with determined permanence. <BR/><BR/>whether or not you decide to have kids, i pray you find peace about living and loving just how Jesus calls YOU to do. <BR/><BR/>i'm humbly thankful to have a friend like you...amberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559468023151915555noreply@blogger.com
