Something along those lines. There is nothing better than a mentor. Seeing life lived out is so invaluable.

Isn't that the way it is...we will never all be perfect in all areas but God has a way of providing inspiration and encouragement in the areas where we are weak. I am glad you found a "Liz" to be encouraging to you. Have a wonderful weekend. My dh has been at a pastors conference in CAlifornia all week and I can't wait to have him HOME!<BR/>Sheryl in GASherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218822526713933853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719499255804821889.post-4020019506680310142008-03-07T10:22:00.000-06:002008-03-07T10:22:00.000-06:00You are SO right!

I couldn't have survived the ups and downs of homeschool and motherhood without the help of mentors . . . now I, too, have moved away from my greatest mentors, so am finding new sources of help from blogs like yours! You and all the other women in my blogroll are my new mentors, many of them without even knowing it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719499255804821889.post-29676828343996177582008-03-07T10:02:00.000-06:002008-03-07T10:02:00.000-06:00That is a very sweet and heart felt post!

The heart stuff comes really naturally to me, it is the head stuff that doesn't, lol. Katy, the girl in Stepping Heavenward, reminds me so much of me (emotional, silly, stubborn, excited, quick to over react and just as quick to feel horrible for it,etc), but even without that, Elizabeth finds a way of writing things that you either felt/thought but couldn't put into words, or could but were too scared to admit them, even to yourself!! I just finished my copy, and while you can read it online for free, I totally recommend the actual book. Let me know if you want to borrow it, maybe it will give us an excuse to meet up one day!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to my blog, by the way :-)<BR/>Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!<BR/>Love in Christ<BR/>RachelRachel Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711443001167188505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719499255804821889.post-84524838169649022662008-03-07T07:38:00.000-06:002008-03-07T07:38:00.000-06:00I LOVE this post!!!!

I also have boys (2 for me) and am in ministry with my family. I too can manage the head part of things fine...it is completely natural. I struggle daily, hourly is more like it, with the heart part. Thank you for writing this post and being so real and honest.<BR/><BR/>Maybe our blogs are a way of "mentoring" each other just by being who we are in a crazy disconnected world. Maybe that explains why we feel so drawn to writing and reading other moms' blogs.<BR/><BR/>God Bless,<BR/>CarisaCarisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604735048729389564noreply@blogger.com
