I agree that it's so nice to hear from a "real" mom! I love that encouragement. <br />What do I wish I knew before having having kids? Hmm...a whole lot more than I did know! :) one specific thing, I guess, would be that no matter what you teach your children or how hard you work, they still have their own free will and are responsible for their own decisions. I have to remind myself of this all the time now that I have teenagers! That knowledge helps me remember that I have to trust God with them (so hard! I have to surrender daily to that, which is crazy really, since who loves them more then Him?) and helps me with my worry and guilt.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing about this author!<br /><br />Kelley AndersonMama to A&Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04134573829149515029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748472605217255002.post-68834235097988145262013-04-05T11:37:55.238-04:002013-04-05T11:37:55.238-04:00I wish I would have known how intense motherhood w...I wish I would have known how intense motherhood would be.
