Day 2- Something that stresses you out
{are you joining the fun?? see here if you don't know what I'm talking about}
Something that stresses me out and I constantly think about is my children. There are so many worries
{I don't really stress that much its more like worries in the back of my mind}
but when it comes to our children I worry what the future holds.
I know its taking one day, one situation,one year at a time but...
Do they know how much they are loved? Do they know they were so loved before they came to our family? Do they KNOW they are children of a loving Heavenly Father who loves them more than anything.
Will they love me/us forever?
Do they know that true happiness comes from living the gospel and doing what's right will they always have a testimony and just make right chooses? Do they know how important respect for others, themselves and life is?
-----------------------------------
i sometimes stress when we go somewhere they are supposed to behave and it doesn't exactly turn out that way, and though we teach them they are just children.
I sometimes take it as a person reflection on me when they are just kids! and they are so good most of the time.
I think we all worry about that but its teaching them and living by example each day that gets them there.
I used to worry that somebody would steal my kids..... especially around when we were being sued for M, our lawyer would say things that somebody {was telling the ones suing us/lds family services}..... things that they shouldn't have known as simple as our names and where we lived they weren't ever supposed to know....... yet somehow they were getting info from someone we knew.... and things that weren't even true that stressed me out more than anything in my life up to that point {besides getting our children here :). Feelings and emotions wondering if our little boy was going to be taken from us or any of our/your children has got to be the biggest fear in life.
Anyway that's my stress past, present and future!
It doesn't help to stress or worry about anything if we take it one day at a time. That's how we learn, stay healthy and move forward.

Yes, I think that will be a life long stress for any mom. I cannot imagine the stress you went through when M was a baby though. So scary. And yes, kids are kids and we have to remember they are separate people from their parents.
.....and we stress and worry about them forever. But we are grateful to be mommies so we can stress......love you!
Hey! I just wanted to say somehow I found your blog and I just love it. Reading through a few posts gave me an idea of what a thoughtful and spiritual person you must be. Thanks for inspiring me today.
☺
I totally agree with Katelyn....I can't even imagine the stress you went through with being sued.....sued for money is one thing.......sued that you might have your child taken from you is another. Wow. You are an amazing mom. The Lord obviously was there to guide and lift you even more when you needed it.
Love this tag you've presented out there to blog land! I am reading so many posts today of those who took on your challenge. I am starting mine today. So thanks! Blog land truly needed a bit of fun lately. ; D
Nothing has ever been as stressful for me as trying to get our family here and worrying about someone stealing Zachary from us. I'm with you on this post for sure!
