I check your blog every day, hoping you've posted something. Really. <br /><br />You're not a perfect mom; I'm not a perfect mom. Coming to terms with that. You're helping me with that. You comment on your life unabashedly. You don't hold back, hoping for people to only see the positives. My biggest problem is not asking for help. Seems like you've overcome that which inspires me tremendously.<br /><br />And while I'm on it, Molly Fountain were talking about you last night. We were talking about school choices and trying to figure it out for our kids. We both thought of you and how you tried homeschooling, then realized God was leading you down a different path. That takes courage and humility to make the right choice for your family.<br /><br />I'm also struggling with body issues too. Might sound funny but we all see ourselves not measuring up and comparing ourselves to the superficial beauty the world holds up. I'm striving to hold onto the beauty that I know God sees in me and making sure that's what shine through to those around me.<br /><br />And that's what you've done to me, Jen. Can't wait to see what God has in store for you in year 41. Hope to be there on Friday :)cristin lueahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214066576663502300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911211676351267954.post-48680990735996956252010-01-13T09:39:15.657-05:002010-01-13T09:39:15.657-05:00You know, you look pretty good....for your age.
L...You know, you look pretty good....for your age.<br /><br />LOL.

They just aren't. I promise I'm not making this up. <br /><br />Think of Anderson Cooper and his silver hair...I'm unabashedly adore him (as do about 20 million other people) and the last thing that crosses my mind when I think of him is "ugh, he's old." <br /><br />I get it..you are your worst critic, blah, blah...but your attitude and acceptance should be at the forefront because when you turn 40, you should get a really big present. I say this because I'm turning 30 this year, and I also want a really big present. <br /><br />You're beautiful...and you care about other people -- even strangers. So maybe you'll be 40, but you're not exactly sitting around in an old folks home imparting wisdom on today's youth. <br /><br />Growing old is something that we're totally blessed to do..and you have a family and people who admire you across the miles. So don't let 40 get you down...just make it the best. year. ever. <br /><br />So you have some pain and extra weight...change that. You're already trying, no? Life is what you make it so make your 40th year one that you can be totally proud of. The more you exercise and eat well, the better you'll feel. And you can go into your 41st year feeling incredible. <br /><br />Happy birthday my friend!Kenliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514481580609757683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5911211676351267954.post-19965832422563208072010-01-08T19:48:56.931-05:002010-01-08T19:48:56.931-05:00Sorry to hear that your having a bad time.
