My Granny

My Granny was such an inspiration to me. She just passed away last month. A quote she kept in her journal that was shared has stuck with me and I don't want to forget it. She is one person I can honestly say never pitied herself or anyone else. I miss you, Granny. Here is her quote but written by John W. Gardner: "Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure, and separates the victim from reality."

Malainy through the months 1-5

Life has changed

Life will never be as it was before a child. I cannot even remember what my life was like before Malainy. I love this girl so much. Yet, parenthood has revealed to me how incredibly selfish I am and how it is hard for me to change my schedule to fit the needs of someone else. But this little girl is so worth it all! So, this blog is entitled faith, hope and love. Faith that the Lord will grant me the ability to raise a child according to His will, hope through His promise that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me in child rearing, and love-the opportunity to love and feel love from a child so unconditionally.
