Catherine did that thing that most Fours do once. Found a stray pair of scissors. Cropped hair.

Lydia was the lucky recipient of a shearing. Came to me. Said in a sad, plaintive voice.. "Catherine cut my hair".

Catherine with the habit of mis-quoting terms ("It was an accident" and "I didn't do it on purpose") said with accidental honesty "I did it on purpose!"

Thankfully Lydia's honey locks are so abundantly abundant, the damage does not show.

Ugh we had that happen once!!! My oldest ds was about 6.5 and thought it'd be fun to see what his 2.5yo sister's hair did in the box fan. So he cut a chunk out of the back, 4" long, and let it go through the fan. :-P

My beautiful Megan once had lovely long curls at the bottom of her long golden hair and...she cut them off and...those curls never did come back :o(

Sigh...I have a 3rd grade photo of myself with my own haircut.

What? Joanne! Who could have nominated me??? Who would have?? Now that I know about this, Penni's comment about coming here and resting makes more sense. ;)

I was like... resting?? In this chaos? (I've had to remove a kitten from my keyboard three times while typing just this!) LOL

Anyway, whoever did do the nominating, I'm honored to think you do find this blog a restful place. Thank you.

We have not had that happen here yet, although Mia is into everything and I suspect she will be the one to take the leap and start cutting.

Oh those days are always fun. My daughter emmiko hacked her hair up so awful that I seriously considered shaving her bald and just starting over.

Why we allow God to plan our family size.

( Allow? Allow God? Who am I to allow God? ) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5, 6 Sometimes people ask me what scripture we base our family size on. I think they expect me to quote verses like "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm 127:3-5 Or to quote all the "Be fruitful and multiply" verses. Or they expect me to recant how, throughout the Bible, God considers children a blessing to be desired (in the stories of Abraham & Sarah... of Isaac & Rebecca... of Rachel & Leah... of Hannah) But for us it was not only what we found in scripture, but in looking at God'...

What do you do...

What if you long for something, but you have a spiritual conviction not to pursue that something... but you see other Christians pursuing it and validating their reasons.... and you feel your reasons look foolish to them, and you feel foolish for standing in what you believe to be true... yet you know you still cannot pursue it, because you have no doubt it is wrong? How does anyone make a stand anymore in this world? There are compromises right and left and people rushing to validate their reasons, and ready to shout "don't you dare judge me!" When I'm not judging, just stating my own stand. If they feel hurt... "socked in the stomach"... isn't it perhaps because the Spirit is convicting them? If there is no truth to my stance, why should it phase them? We are usually hurt most by the truth, when we are not standing in it, but our spirit knows we should be. If someone says "your daughter is a brat" and you know she is not, it doesn...
