I think it’s time for a Molly Huggin’s parenting book. That’s one I could be encouraged and not discouraged or beat myself up over. One that would remind me of what you said in this short beautiful burst–that they are made in His image, not our expectations. Restoring words, friend. Thank you.

I feel so much of this. I’m pretty sure my oldest has sensory seeking disorder. I’ve thought of it off and on but was faced with a few difficult situations as of late and I’ve had to revisit the thought again. It’s hard. I too had visions of perfect children. But they’re broken, and they came to me that way. I am thankful for them. I am thankful I’m broken too, because it furthers my desire for a Savior. Thanks for encouraging us all here. I really appreciate your sharing your heart.
