Postpartum body and all, He says you are captivating!!!<BR/><BR/>I don't think we have to pass on our issues to our kiddos. If we bring our beliefs into the light and allow our kids to join us on the journey by explaining where we are and what the truth is we're seeking to believe. That's my prayer for my girls, that they'll hear me honestly share about my struggling, but also see, even more, God and His truth.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>AmyAmy Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055443444238664556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1122669634250042922005-07-29T16:40:00.000-04:002005-07-29T16:40:00.000-04:00Amy,Thank you!!

I needed this today as I put on my "fat" pants...I'm so impatient with my postpartum body (well, my body in general) and DO NOT want my issues passed on to my kiddos!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804872501124965187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1122592250443621942005-07-28T19:10:00.000-04:002005-07-28T19:10:00.000-04:00Hey Staci!I honestly hadn't pondered what God feel...Hey Staci!<BR/><BR/>I honestly hadn't pondered what God feels when I look in the mirror and despise what I see. Thanks for making that point. I need to give that some thought.<BR/><BR/>I'm all for uniting over some chocolate and a good walk while we remind each other to accept what God created as good. Very good in fact! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Love ya too!<BR/>AmyAmy Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055443444238664556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1122592030394152712005-07-28T19:07:00.000-04:002005-07-28T19:07:00.000-04:00HeyJules!Sounds like we're on the same journey. Yo...HeyJules!<BR/><BR/>Sounds like we're on the same journey. You make perfect sense and a wonderful point!<BR/><BR/>I'm still mulling all this over and wanting to rest in the place where I exercise for health and accept what my temple looks like~ for the glory of God, not six-pack abs or anyone's attention.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I'm heading in that direction. Thanks for sharing the road with me.<BR/><BR/>AmyAmy Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055443444238664556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1122591480860845322005-07-28T18:58:00.000-04:002005-07-28T18:58:00.000-04:00Great post, Amy.

Don't you imagine it hurts Him when we ridicule the very vessel He created?<BR/><BR/>Love ya!<BR/><BR/>Staciwriterlysoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13350504888076937455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1122571535326813172005-07-28T13:25:00.000-04:002005-07-28T13:25:00.000-04:00Count me in, too.

But sadly, I have not born three beautiful children and the body parts still look like cottage cheese. <BR/><BR/>What I have found is that the more GOD's opinion of me matters, the more I matter and the more I matter, the more other people's opinions about me don't matter. <BR/><BR/>Does that make sense? <BR/><BR/>I'm still overweight (okay, fat) when I look in the mirror but I'm starting to think "health" instead of "6 pack abs." I am trying to concentrate on making my body be God's temple instead of worrying about being man's "plaything". I wasn't built that way and all the dieting in the world isn't going to give me Julia Robert's legs or Jennifer Aniston's hair. <BR/><BR/>And that's starting to be okay with me. : )HeyJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440239922316626725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820424.post-1122514628684273502005-07-27T21:37:00.000-04:002005-07-27T21:37:00.000-04:00Tricia,Thanks so much for giving my blog a read!
