Ok, I know I said earlier about not posting, but I came across a document I think my friend Vicki Reimert was looking for. (Hope this is what you were looking for!)
Today's forward is a document titled "Fifty Fruits of Pride"
I don't know who the author of the document is, but I know it's been used in prior messages or teachings I've received at church or through care group. I have a hard copy in my files of it, but I was able to find it online from the Providence Church of Pittsburgh website. I was checking out the website in anticipation for my trip this weekend.
Toodles,

Hi Sara,
It's Jeanette here! I decided to visit your blog as this is the first time in quite awhile I've had some time to sit and have some quiet computer time. Jon left for his Peru missions trip yesterday so I am on my own! This is the longest (10 days) we have been apart since we've been engaged/married. Reading over some of your previous posts I've realized that I've really lost my inner thought life, especially related to spiritual things. I would say that one major positive thing about being single is the opportunity to have a rich spiritual/thought life. Having a husband and especially children has caused my brain to go to mush. My devotions are pitiful lately, I find I can't focus, and things I used to take to God, I now rely on Jon for. (Him being gone now makes me realize this). Then the mommy brain is always going..."Remember to pack an extra burp cloth, now when do I need feed the baby again, how long should I let him sleep, I really need to buy new sleepers, etc. etc. etc." It's a constant running monologue in my head, but quite frankly it's getting really monotonous. Don't get me wrong, I do love being married and having children, but lately (since having a second) I've been struggling emotionally feeling trapped, feeling dumb and unchallenged, and a disconnect in my relationship to Christ.
So anyway, I want to thank you for your honesty in your posts and to tell you that it's inspired me to wake up and get refocused. So thanks, Sara! I pray that you will continue to be encouraged in what the Lord has given you to do.
Love,
Jeanette Knaub
