The Girlfriend Network: Hearing God Speak

WELCOME MOMS

I'm Darlene Oakley, mother of a 15-year-old Aspergers child and a 2.5-year-old angel who can make me laugh and exasperate me all at once.

I created this blog because I realized how important it was to me to have girlfriends. To be able to share about my experiences as a mom and hear the experiences of others. The support network of girlfriends both on-line and in-person I have found to be invaluable.

We each need a place where we can discuss issues bothering us, be encouraged by those who have gone before us, and encourage others.

This group is for all of us who need a girlfriend. This group is open to discussion about anything relating to motherhood and open to both Christian and non-Christian viewpoints so long as the comments are respectful and encouraging to others.

This is your group, my fellow mothers. I have created this blog for you as much as for me. I welcome you to share your thoughts and experiences and suggestions!

A Prayer for our Family

Please click here for a daily Prayer for our Family.

And make it a point to pray for your family every morning. Here's another quick one to help you.

Lord, You know my inadequacies, not only in parenting, but in every area of my life. I am doing the best I can, but I feel that it is not good enough.

As you broke the loaves and the fishes to feed the five thousand, now take my meager effort and use it to bless my family. Make up for the things I've done wrong. Satisfy the needs that I have not satisfied. Wrap your great arms around my children, and draw them close to You. And be there when they stand at the great crossroads between right and wrong.

All I can give You is my best, and I've done that. Therefore, I submit to You my children and myself and the job that I do as a parent. The outcome now belongs to you.

(Someone told me that this prayer is one Dr. James Dobson of Focus on Family prayed. It is the prayer that is on my heart every morning.)
