Are We There Yet?: More Thoughts on Parenting
http://amy-franklin.blogspot.com/2014/07/more-thoughts-on-parenting.html
Are We There Yet? Thursday, July 17, 2014. More Thoughts on Parenting. I can't imagine the things I will worry about as my school age kids approach their teen years-yikes! Today I had this thought- I am trying so hard to protect them- why? What would it look like to be a child in this way? How do I maneuver through this one? Pain and struggle sucks but if I do my job right it won't destroy my kids it will help grow them to be better people. I bet Father God already knows this, well actually I know He...

A Growing Violet: A Longing Fulfilled
http://agrowingviolet.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-longing-fulfilled.html
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD." Psalm 127:3. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. With everything we went through just to bring this precious child into the world, I felt a little guilty for longing for one more. I couldn't put myself through those complications again and run the risk of an extended hospital stay for a second child when I had a miracle baby at home. Yet, my arms ached for another child.

Are We There Yet?: Lent as an American Christian
http://amy-franklin.blogspot.com/2014/03/lent-as-american-christian.html
Are We There Yet? Wednesday, March 5, 2014. Lent as an American Christian. There is something about Lent to bring me back to blogging. Maybe it's the fact that I am stopping to do something with purpose or maybe it's that I need something to keep me be busy! But here we are on day 1 of Lent- Ash Wednesday if you will- and I am already full of thoughts. Like, how Lent always confuses me because I get so excited about it yet I hate it by sundown of the first night! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The T...

Are We There Yet?: It's Real, People!
http://amy-franklin.blogspot.com/2014/08/its-real-people.html
Are We There Yet? Wednesday, August 13, 2014. It's Real, People! Why am I talking about this when I am not currently facing depression? When one is facing mental illness there is already a sense of shame from not being able to get yourself together. Not being able to fix things. Not being able to be sane like others. The last thing a person needs to feel is alone or more shame because the general public is still a few decades behind in their approach to mental illness. People, mental illness is real!

Are We There Yet?: Thoughts on Parenting
http://amy-franklin.blogspot.com/2014/07/thoughts-on-parenting.html
Are We There Yet? Thursday, July 17, 2014. Everyday, in my weakness, I fail my kids. I yell too much. I take things personally. I get impatient. I have ridiculous expectations and I model poor behavior by being too emotional. I can go on and on listing all my failures. That is one thing I have always been good at, seeing myself for what I am. An imperfect person with plenty of room to grow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. Subscribe to Are We There Yet?

Are We There Yet?: Worthy (Reposted)
http://amy-franklin.blogspot.com/2013/12/worthy-reposted.html
Are We There Yet? Monday, December 9, 2013. Reposted from last Advent). Every year I watch the movie "The Nativity Story". How can someone not feel worthy? Certainly people don't feel that way today? I am worthy, not because of me, but because of Christ. He makes me worthy. He gives me value. He gives me hope! What if we stop declaring to everyone who will listen that Jesus is the reason for the Season and start showing people that they have value and worth? What if we share this hope that we have? He's ...

Are We There Yet?: The Rest of the Story
http://amy-franklin.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-rest-of-story.html
Are We There Yet? Saturday, January 25, 2014. The Rest of the Story. For months now I have been longing to move forward and felt stuck. Felt like something was keeping me from the future plans in store for me. Then, I realized, I could not move forward because there was something I needed to take care of in my recent past. Or maybe we only said it to ourselves through bloody lips as we did all we could to stay silent.). All through this strange land and time I always prayed that He would be my guide and ...

Are We There Yet?: About Me
http://amy-franklin.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
Are We There Yet? I believe that we are all on a journey in life. That journey includes our spiritual paths, relationships, growing as people- you name it! As much as I embrace the idea of being on this journey I am so impatient! I get impatient with the process and walking the journey. So, this is my place to ramble on about the journey the lessons learned and the bumps I experience while being impatient. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.
