re: What You THOUGHT You Knew About Mormons

Quoting **Blessed Insanity **:" <blockquote><b>Quoting shes*almost*one!:</b>" why do you love mormon so much, and always ... [snip!] ... a parent I want to share m my faith since it is what gives me the strength and patience to be a mother to seven children.."

your "faith" is what helps you parent seven children? im sorry sweetie, but you're not giving yourself enough credit

Quoting shes*almost*one!:" its not really funny, the majority of the population are of the mormon faith, so its not that far off. just like there's a lot of catholics in massachusetts. just is what it is"

i live in utah.. i think is funny...

How so? I totally agree with her and only have 3 kids. When I am having a hard time with them I turn to God and he gives me strength to push on. I rely on Christ to help me be a better Mom a as long as I am doing my part.

okay i guess i dont agree. i was giving her a compliment. i think she's a lot stronger than she gives herself credit for. saying your "faith" helps you parent? i just dont get that... how does god give you strenght to 'push on' ..? your family isnt enough? sorry if this sounds weird, but i just dont get it

She is an amazing mom and I know she doesn't give her self enough credit.  

You know those times that it just sucks to be a mom? Where everything is not going how you thought, and you feel like you are going to snap? Those are the times I full heartly rely on Christ to help me through them. He picks up the priecs that I can't.

Thank you , yes, for me, when I am having a bad day out when I have trials come into my life, I turn to my faith to help me through, just as I do with parenting..it is such a wonderful comfort knowing I have a Father in heaven who loves me and is there to help guide me and comfort me in times of need..I know that he will always be there in times if pain, sorrow, and yes even when things are going well..EVERYTHING, that I do our well do is a choice I make yes, but its because of Mt faith a to why I choose to make certain choices for my family. it is because of my faith that I know as a parent that I won't be perfect but that I will have a strong foundation for my children and that is how my faith gives me strength as a mother..
