Being a mom has given me a greater understanding of God.

Now I know why religion tells us we are supposed to just shut up and stop asking questions and take what we are given and enjoy the beauty and withstand the ugly in what we see each day and have faith that everything will eventually be okay.

Being over-questioned and under-appreciated is so annoying.

Blind faith is how they say it. He will learn.

LMAO, I never thought of parenting that way, but yes, it fits - VERY much so. Isn't that why duct tape was invented?

Amanda said...

LOL SO true! And I like Kelsi's quote too.

It took me half a second and then I actually laughed out loud. For real. Not the fake 'lol' crap.

I'm going to print this out and tape it into my 'Women of Prayer' book that I reach for when I'm about to pull every last facking hair out of my head. Even if it doesn't solve anything, at least it'll make me laugh.

hippo brigade said...
