Yesterday I got a nice note via facebook from a new friend I have recently made. She is a sweet lady, bubbly and energetic.

It is so easy to give in to doubts and thought such as, "Was this a mistake?" "Should we have tried this?"
This is NOT the Brady Bunch. I DO NOT look like Florence Henderson and I don't have a live in maid.
Sometimes I just don't feel strong enough to do this. I really need that live in maid.

Marcia
Oh, Beth, I know what days like those feel like - not because I'm part of a blended family, but because I struggle with other parts of life - and I'm going to start praying specifically for your family dynamics. Keep loving. Keep trusting. Keep going. God can do it.
