This is my second post to our Changing Diapers, Changing Lives blog. Can't say I know what I'm doing yet, but am ready to "Learn by doing" rather than wait any longer to launch our St. Mark's mom's group! One thing I have failed to say, which is important, is this - everything we post is confidential. This is a sacred group, and sacred space. There are no good and bad, or right and wrong reflections. We listen and share in love, as Christ asks us. In this way, we'll carry one another on the journey. As we begin to share and know one another, let's take an opportunity to introduce ourselves and our children: My children are well out of diapers... Sarah is 18 and is a freshman at Hope College in Holland, MI. I miss her terribly and am having an interesting time forcing myself to let go, especially when I'd rather be the Mom who is fixing everything all of the time... Grace is a senior in high school. She's currently applying to colleges- and is very stressed. There's a fine line in my head between wanting to help her and wanting to send her to her room. (No, that urge does not go away.) Zach is 14 - a freshman in high school. I'm enjoying seeing the person he's becoming. Now, if only he could communicate in words instead of grunts... My husband Doug and I recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with a weekend trip to Florida. He is an attorney. I think you know what I do for a living... Please introduce yourself and your family. Also, if my instructions are poor and you know a better way to do/post things, please inform the group by responding to all in my recent e-mail from revmeredith@cox.net. This is our blog - feel free to post photos, articles, or other reflections. Look for another post later this week! God bless you and keep you- Meredith
