I think the principles you talk about in your marriage and prioritizing have really fallen by the wayside in our society now a days and that is why we have so much divorce and discord! I know what it was like to grow up in a family where my parents always put their relationship with the Lord and one another before my brother and I am I must say, I never felt neglected or unloved! If anything, it taught me so much about how to be strong, Godly woman and made me so much more adequate for marriage I think! <br /><br />I love your blog and I find it to be such a refreshing change of pace and such an encouragement!

Initially I was taken back by the original post, but not to the point of bashing you! (Oiy, people these days!) But thinking more about it, what you said feels so right with God and how he wants our relationships and how the Bible has taught us.

I am a new reader to your blog and have enjoyed reading the posts. However, I felt the need to comment on your post. You are an amazing Christian woman who is an example to others. You have inspired me to be a healthier eater and to incorporate more exercise into my life. I went back to read your previous post about your goals as a mother to gain insight into what others had commented on. I just wanted to tell you that you had every right to voice your opinion on how to raise "your" child. I also found it interesting that the person commenting negatively towards your values and ideas didn't have the decency to even include their name. So, with that said, continue posting your powerful insights, goals, and thoughts. They are truly an inspiration to others, including myself.

My hubby and I are expecting our first in July, a boy :) You are speaking TRUTH and it's hard for some people to hear ideas that go against what our society is considering the "norm." So many of my husband's co-workers are shocked when he shares that there is an order to our home, and we plan to maintain that order even after baby arrives. So many families we know are divided with their marriages weakened because the household roles aren't aligned with what God desires for us. I think people automatically assume that by submitting and putting God and your spouse ahead of your children you are doing it wrong. It breaks my heart to read negative talk in comments, it's amazing to me how nasty the internet can become. I purposely don't read comments because I don't enjoy the negativity :( Just know that there are so many women out in blog world that are encouraged and strengthened by your writings!

We also have a 4yr old boy. I can't even put into words what I feel for that little boy! My husband and I have always put our marriage "first".The first year with a baby was rough but we made it through because we had such a good strong relationship. It doesn't matter what other people see as perfect....as long as it's YOUR perfect that's all that matters!!! I love your blog because it really gets me thinking about life in general.

I'm sorry you got so much grief for it but I can't help but wonder if those commenters may not understand what it means to put God first and how that usually puts all other relationships into alignment. God knows what he's doing when we put all faith in Him!<br /><br />While we will always be our child's parent, ultimately our children will grow and be independent adults far longer than they will be children in our care. Our goal should be to teach and model for them while we can and while they are in our care. <br /><br />That said, we all have different parenting ideals and beliefs and you'll always be hearing other people's opinion no matter WHAT, I'm sure you've figured that out already!<br /><br />Keep it up!

I've been reading long enough to have been around for the entire pregnancy, and I'm so happy for your growing family. And although I don't agree with all of your plans, I understand where you're coming from because we come from a similar believer, Christ-following background. But since your blog has grown and you've made it more about nutrition, etc, I think that you need to realize that some people come to it with a very different background than yours, and may non-maliciously misinterpret some of the things that you say. And I feel like sometimes you interpret those non-malicious comments as more spiteful than they're meant, and choose your tone in turn. <br /><br />I LOLed (in the most literal way) when you called yourself an "older" mom at 27. I'm your age and very few of my friends are even married. You're a Southern woman through and through, and that shows through in everything. (This is going more toward my point about people coming to your blog with different backgrounds; I'm not poking at you for the actual comment.)<br /><br />But that's just my $0.02, and I'll keep on reading and waiting excitedly (in the non-creepiest way possible) for Jase to be here with you.

Anyone who doesn't have the backbone, to at the very least sign there name to a comment, is not worthy of your attention. I think we as women need to be supportive and inspire each other, not tear each other down. I enjoy reading your posts and I look forward to hearing about your journey.
