How can I find out if my state offers the same thing? My son will start Pre-K in the fall. I am still researching and trying to find what suits us best. I watched one video you have about your schedule, in it you mentioned the name and that was it. I don't want to cause any problems, I am just interested in more information. Thank you so much!

I love the videos on how you do your hair it has really helped me feel better about myself.<br />I really would love it if you do me a favor and I will do a favor for you. But before I begin I want you to know more about who I am.<br />I am a Christian woman, married for 6 years and I have 3 children ages 5, 3 and 20 months. Yes. My hands are full. But so is my heart!<br />I am a stay at home mom and plan to homeschool them (we will take it year by year as I know it is a big job). Recently I started my own <br />stay at home business selling pretty hair clips from Lilla Rose. The nice thing about it is that I don't have to leave the home to do it! You can look at my website here:<br />www.lillarose.biz/sharonsaad<br /><br />The favor I ask of you is to post a review of one that I send to you. You can choose which ever one you want! And I will send another (one<br />of your choice) for you to give away to one of your followers.<br /><br />Over at A Bowl Full of Lemons blog she did this for me and it has been so much fun! Have a look at her post here.http://abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com/2011/06/lila-rose-giveaway.html<br /><br />Does that sound like something that you would want to do?

Well, I po...Hi again- I wrote the last post too ;) <br />Well, I posted that comment to you as my pledge to God that it was in His hands- not mine - His will be done is all I have been praying!<br /> I had told my husband about a week ago that my boss was wondering about my working next year and she told me to take my time and do what is best for my family. I dropped it and just told him to think about it and we could talk later. <br /> Later came very late last night.<br />I calmly explained my view about time spent vs money made and that I wanted to have more time to be home and with the boys. After lots of talking about it we (he!) decided that I should stay home again!! <br /> God has blessed us so much and I am so thankful for my husband and that he was most worried that I would feel "stuck" if I stayed home, he thought I would rather work. :) Well we sorted through all the thoughts we were both having and have made a peaceful decision- together! <br />I'm looking forward to joining GMG this summer!!<br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-86499742444012036032011-04-13T12:01:27.234-04:002011-04-13T12:01:27.234-04:00Hi Courtney, I have learned a lot from your blog a...Hi Courtney, I have learned a lot from your blog and I feel like God helped me find it at just the right time in my life (3 months ago). I have two boys 8 & 11 and they are in public school, my oldest will be in Jr. High this fall. I was a stay at home Mom for many years till my husband was in a accident and I started working at my youngest sons Pre-school to help make ends meet. I did that for 2 years... then some babysitting... now I am the "Lunchlady" in my boys school. It is 2.25 hours a day but I feel it sucks the life from me! ;) 585 kids all needing me.... well both my guys will be changing schools this fall and I would like nothing more than to be a stay at home mom again. Now that we will have 2 school schedules and I am zonked as we are now I don't think I can hold it all together and keep up at home. My husband is wonderful and is happy that I work- it was his idea. I have told him I am not sure that I can handle it all next fall, but I don't think he "gets" what I mean. :/ I am in a place of prayer right now that God will help me and my husband make the right decision- work or home. If I work, I will be on the move every 1-2 hours all day and with taking kids to school, volunteering and working. I am praying my husband will have wisdom and I will have peace!!!!

I watched a few of the videos on your sidebar, and the one about "making love anytime your husband wants to" really struck home. I just turned 50, and my libido has really dropped. I had decided that sex was something unimportant in our marriage, and that my husband (dear sweet man that he is) would just have to respect my feelings. Then I researched the book you recommended by Linda Dillow - it was while reading her "Creative Counterpart" book (lent by a Christian friend when I was unsaved and struggling in my young marriage) that I accepted the Lord 26 years ago. I downloaded her book onto my Kindle, and while doing that, saw a link to Dr. Kevin Leman's book "Sheet Music". I ended up reading HIS book first, and was completely humbled by God. I now realize how unfair it was to expect my husband to turn off a part of himself. Denying him the joy of marital love on a regular basis is like denying him conversation or food or air. I bound him to myself through our wedding vows and if I refuse to have sex, he is forced into either abstinence or infidelity to meet his needs. Also, I'm denying myself the joy of our union. My eyes are open now, I'm seeing my husband with more love than ever before. And even more important, through focusing on the biblical aspects of the issue - my "walk with the King" which was slumbering after years of being out of church and lax in Bible study, is awakening and growing deeper.<br /><br />God has used you in my life, and I thought you'd like to know. :)<br /><br />DebbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-61906650920756572842011-03-21T13:23:23.004-04:002011-03-21T13:23:23.004-04:00Thank you so much.

I am a military wife and about to be a new and first time mother. I have a blog www.richandsarahchristensen.blogspot.com <br />I am wondering if you would be willing to be a guest blogger on my blog.

Most of my friends are new mommies or about to be new mommies. With a baby on the way I am reading everything I ...can on Christian parenting. I am curious as to what your views are about parenting an infant. It can be so confusing with all of the different theories, cry it out method/ don't do cry it out method etc.. I would love it if you could find the time in your busy schedule to share with a group of new mommies which methods you used as a new Momma. Thank you for your time!

It is one of...I LOVE your post, absolutely LOVE it. It is one of those stories of love in the midst of adversity, true compassion, and strength personified that just keeps me in awe of God and some women! Your post spurred a memory about a couple my husband were counseled by for six months before our marriage (as is required in church before we wed). This is their story of God's grace, forgiveness and a strong, Christian and praying wife: The wife *became* a believer in the early days of their marriage but was not originally a Christian. Actually, she was Buddhist before their marriage she said. The husband, she said, was a good man in the secular view and he loved his wife. He was a caring OBGYN who also, sadly, performed periodic abortions (not his main practice) but was not opposed to it as he thought along with popular medical lines of fetus vs. soul. The wife said she was disgusted with this after being saved. She prayed to God daily; she prayed for her husband and lived out her Christian life together with him throughout the years. She lead their children to Christ as best she could in the difficult circumstances without a supportive-Christian husband. She was also a quiet and praying wife throughout the years by her husband's own account. He said that she would pray by their bedside for long periods of time every night for years, but he didn't know what about. She tried to follow and obey her husband as she followed the teachings of the bible. After 14 years of marriage her husband came to Christ and was saved! Needless to say she was overjoyed and they both cried recounting the story and telling us about that joyful year...my fiance (now husband) and I were also moved and to this day about this story. The husband is still an OBGYN Dr. But now he no longer performs abortions, is a peaceful pro-life activist and educator in the medical community, an active elder in the church, and the couple continues to serve God and counsels engaged couples about God's grace; a praying, Godly wife and ultimately love and forgiveness. God is just awesome!!! Praying, Godly wives are also awesome!!! Their story just reminded me of: 1 Cor 1:27-29. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.Kathinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-5759321637995390802011-02-06T23:33:23.685-05:002011-02-06T23:33:23.685-05:00Normally I don't comment on the blogs that I f...Normally I don't comment on the blogs that I follow but the Spirits urged me to do so.<br /><br />First, let me say: I think you rock.<br /><br />Now on to my point: I am not a christian.
