Hi Camille,

You don’t know me very well, but I was one of the other dr. lewis’ students at BJ. For some reason, I am only now discovering your blog, and voraciously reading through your Ebenezer…you and i are kindred spirits, and much of what you have learned so far in your early parenting almost EXACTLY mirrors my story. thank you for being brave enough to share it. We went through this exact journey from Ezzo (before baby arrived) to Sears (co-sleeping, babywearing, extended bf’ing…ya know, all that “AP stuff”!), not by reading it, but through instinct. Okay, I’ll stop now, but am looking forward to reading the rest of your journey.

Amanda

Thanks Camille for filling it out a bit I am still learning…
So, you decided that they moms you first interviewed were wrong because of the spanking thing? And the strict feeding thing? Did you decide it was all rubbish, or just some of those big things
Sorry for these questions… just interested to see why you seemed so positive on one side of the fence, and then so negative on the other! Mulling it over, and checking in when I can get some computer time!!

Hey Camille! Surfin’ while it’s snowin’! Stephen is now 4 months old – I feel like I’m slowly revving up and getting into the swing of life, ha,ha! Your articles keep bringing to my mind (and I talk out loud to the screen) where’s the, “Your not the boss of me” and “Say’s who?”, “Scripture and verse?”, and picture Duane with his lip hooked up like Elvis, “Askmeifahcare!”
Isn’t it goofy how in so many areas people will bristle and will sneer at the few, real authorities in their lives, but fall down and yessir about authorities they chose to put themselves under? This Ezzo character sounds like a real winner, ha! God spared me the thrill of his “wisdom”. My spanked children are happily not on their way to heaven because of the times that they were swatted – they are all at different phases of learning what God’s Word says (and doesn’t say). Context! They are scarred by abnormal parents and an abnormal church setting we have – no tithes and offerings taken up; no alter call – just available people who know Who their Redeemer is and enjoy getting to participate in the “awakening”; no nursery workers – just a nursery with crib, toys, books and a rocker for nursing; no programs – just a class for little kiddos if they want and a how to study the Bible class for teen boys if they want, it’s all as we need or want we’ll start it situation; questions, comments and smart remarks are all enjoyed together during Sunday School and morning service with Don leading the studies. We “rushed” through Romans in four years, ha,ha! We expect Hebrews to take about ten years? I’m babbling, maybe I’m not really in the swing yet?? I was going through pictures and memorabilia – oooh! I found the letter you wrote hoping with all hope that Grant would ask you to marry him at Christmas time! Don’t you just feel so spoiled sometimes when you think of God’s blessing he’s given us in our husbands!! Every good and every perfect gift…!
This blogging new fangled thing is a great tool (I’m speaking with my AMA degree – advanced maternal age, don’tchaloveit ha,ha,ha,ha! 35 and older…I think I might have an honorary doc.?)
I’ll yap later – if I put a few minutes together and my mind is somewhat together, ha,ha! Love ya! Tammy

“But they, like their parents, get forgiveness for sin not from a purgative pain, but through the same Person and His gracious sacrifice. We are, in God’s grace, trying to parent these charges just like God parents us — loving and teaching and correcting and always pointing to Christ.”

And now I’m humming and starting to tear up because that hymn reaches my heart in a way. . . that I need. . . that reminds me of my Christ and my Father in heaven.

I really enjoyed reading about how you’ve grown! It makes me think about how I’ve grown and what God has done in my life.
