Avant-garde,
You said it beautifully, that no one can go it alone, and that the illusion of strength becomes weakness in the end, until we are forced to acknowledge our own limitations, and then realizing His strength. Well said.

you said it perfectly. i see old patterns being played out, patterns of control and fear that were used with me. it has been a humbling experience being a parent. the great thing, though, is that your kids love you despite your shortcomings. so do animals. they teach us about unconditional love.

yes, it is through our relationships that we grow
my best friend's husband is a minister who said a couple years after they adopted their child, "how did I have the arrogance to get up in front of the pulpit and give a sermon before I had a child?" I guess I am kind of going off on a tangent here, but, I realize what a gift it is that I have children... if I didn't have children my ego would have surely fooled me into believing that I was advanced far beyond where I am, but instead, most days, I realize how far I need to go... and some days it can make me feel that I haven't even seen a sign to the road.... oh, but every once in a while, I have an afternoon or day to myself (very rare... I'm a single mom and my children's father hasn't come to visit in over 5 years) - I have such a joyous time alone with God - such peace and bliss that I'm sure it won't leave me when I pick up my children... this time I've mastered it.... NOT! But it is all a gift.
