A desire for even a good thing becomes a bad thing when that desire becomes a ruling thing. Comfort is perfectly good to want, but it makes a bad god. Acceptance is perfectly good to want, but it makes a bad god.
My struggle with anger is a struggle of self-sovereignty. I want my world to work the way I want it to work. Your anger is connected to something going on inside of you. When you're shaken by life, what comes out of you is what was already inside of you.
- Dr. Paul David Tripp
Side note: Just found out from Facebook today that two more friends have got babies last month (didn't know they were preggy). It seems that this year is really a baby boom year in my circle of friends and acquaintances. So far starting from January there have already been three boys and three girls (not to mention another boy last Dec). Three more boys are coming in August and another baby whose gender I don't know yet is coming in October (not to mention the other preggy people in my circle that I don't know yet). Bring it on! :-)
Hi there! I'm happy to find blogs like this. Just want you to know that I'm one of you. These blogs have been making me feel good somehow. Nice to know that there are women out there who would understand..
ReplyDeleteHi, Claire!
DeleteThanks for stopping by. I'm glad that you've felt that you're not alone. That was one of the things that drove me to search other bloggers in a similar situation as well as started this blog. :-)
