Well I haven't known you long and certainly would have liked to know you better, but I'm thankful for the time we had. I can appreciate all you're up against, but am still so sorry to see you go. Your thoughts have blessed me, and I've met some wonderful people here. I wish you the best in your childrearing and college endeavors. Peace, Lily 2007-03-17T07:02:58.349+01:00 2007-03-17T07:02:58.349+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Lilyladyblue&conv=440761&comment_id=7838762 Lily Thanks for sharing about this Molly. I came from a place where it wasn't specifically *taught* that one had to speak in tongues to be saved, but it was highly *encouraged*. I personally pray in tongues, but I dislike the approach that it is some all-impotant thing. I believe God will give us this gift if He created us to be comfortable with it, and if not, then not. If that makes any sense. I believe it takes all kinds in God's kingdom. Anyhow, beautiful story about the power that can be behind this gift. 2007-01-30T16:11:18.290+01:00 2007-01-30T16:11:18.290+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Lilyladyblue&conv=402172&comment_id=6241181 Lily I remember a funny story - after having given birth to my first son. I has to do the whole hospital thing, flat on my back and all because I had some complications that necessitated such things. Anyhow, in the first hours after a long and difficult birth, I was attempting to breastfeed my son. The nurses were very concerned that he eat and so they kept coming into my room, every 15 minutes or so, trying to shove my nipple into my son's mouth. He always refused. I was never worried - I knew he would eat when he was hungry. My instinct was that he was exhausted and just wanted to sleep on my chest. But I was one who believed that the medical people knew things that I didn't know and so I continued to let them "try". My mom was there with me - she who had birthed and breastfed 4 children. She finally stood up to one of the nurses when the nurse, once again, was coming to try to force my son to feed. My mom told the nurse that she had 4 children and was experienced with this, and she thought it best if we were just left alone. The nurse said to my mom: "I'm not sure you know as much as you think you do;breastfeeding has changed a lot in the last 20 years." Even as exhausted as I was, I has to laugh out loud. This nurse had no children of her own and everything she had learned was from classes. I think with something that instinctive, there's only so much you can learn from a book. But they did leave us alone after that, and after a few hours, everything was fine. 2007-01-14T20:26:42.703+01:00 2007-01-14T20:26:42.703+01:00
