Today, we’re going to time to look at the dangers our children face when they embrace their labels or disease.  We’ll also find that we face the same dangers.  I know that I’m taking the chance of really stepping on some toes, but please remember that I know these dangers because I’ve experienced them.  This [...]

Welcome back to our second day of talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly of labels! Most adults do not allow kids to call each other names.  We would see it as bad behavior and correct it, right?  If we believe names like “Fatso”, “Shrimp”, and “Four-Eyes” (sorry, I know those are actually [...]

I know I’m taking the chance of hitting some nerves with this topic, but I hope you’ll give me the opportunity to share how I feel.  See, I’m a label fighter.  I love being a Christian homeschooling mom, but people will take those titles and try to determine who I am.  They think I should [...]

Tying Your Heart to His

December 30, 2009

I guess you could say I’m a little rebellious. When Seth was born with multiple heart defects, we had the opportunity to join a support group for “Heart Families”.  He was referred to as “Heart Baby”, and we were “Heart Mom” and “Heart Dad”.  I hated those labels.  Every time we were called one of [...]

Welcome!

December 18, 2009

Welcome!  I’m so glad you are here!   My name is Kimberly Ehlers.  My husband, Randy, and I have a wonderful son, Seth, who was born with Pulmonary Atresia.  Seth had multiple heart defects and needed to have open heart surgery when he was 4 days old.  That surgery saved his life, but only took [...]
