Not pushing enough we don't grow. And only we (as in each of us individually) know how much is just the right amount.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609613967033394629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270245506969727628.post-25801295982006151332011-11-12T18:09:08.760-07:002011-11-12T18:09:08.760-07:00Bless your heart.Bless your heart.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219023897626648057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270245506969727628.post-65818219825309363732011-11-12T06:51:11.239-07:002011-11-12T06:51:11.239-07:00Perhaps you never expected this post to affect som...Perhaps you never expected this post to affect someone like me: a mother of five in a strong marriage--and yet it has. I realized in reading this that sometimes I put my need for love above my duty to BE a loving wife and mother and that hurts my family. Because of the Lord's sacrifice, I can function without having that need filled perfectly by my imperfect husband. The Savior can fill inAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270245506969727628.post-50048125060548197472011-11-10T14:50:17.971-07:002011-11-10T14:50:17.971-07:00For me, as I approached finding new relationships,...For me, as I approached finding new relationships, there would be the great fear that I would step into the same kind of relationship I left. It took time and some thankfully clear messages (thanks to being right spiritually) for those fears to subside.

It took time for the wounds to heal, and that was sometimes frustrating, but the pain got less and less, and I have made a full-ish recovery from the hurts received.<br /><br />God bless, Silver Rain.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382259353348066309noreply@blogger.com
