I just had to share this with all of you here. We just never know where we might plant a seed along the way. I am so very very humbled by this, and even more humbled that God has allowed me to see this, and given me so consolation in a time where I have felt so many doubts and worries creeping in. How often to we get such consolation? Such affirmation? I am just speechless.
I have no idea who this woman is. Wordpress has a feature where you can see who is linking to your blog and this came up. I am so not worthy of this, it's a glaring example though, of how just by living our our vocations with joy others are touched. Thank you Lord, for using me in this way.

What a nice surprise!
I am so happy for you that God allowed you to see how you've touched others. I know your example has touched my life in a very positive way, too!

Sorry I called you Lisbet instead of Lisa. I woke up a bit too early this morning.

Oh gosh, I hope no one thought I was posting this to take credit or for Kudos. I just wanted to share with all of you that I have been blessed to see some 'planted seeds'. There was talk of this in the Homeschool blog Awards thread.

Oh, Lisa, WOW! That really is so awesome! Thanks for sharing! Sharing that isn't taking credit for yourself, it's taking credit for the grace of God and for Catholicism being lived faithfully and joyfully in a home.
I read your blog every now and then and your family does look so beautiful and happy! I can't wait to have lots of kids too.

oh sorry -- I didn't mean to sound like I was downplaying your role in touching that woman! But I was just trying to say that no one of us thinks you were boasting or anything!!

What a wonderful message that woman took away from your blog-I myself have been struggling with whether we should have #4 and I have to admit that my husband would love me to keep reading your blog 
BTW-your children are absolutely beautiful!

Oh Lisa,
I don't even know what to say accept "keep up the great work"! You are being such a light to so many! I know that whenever I read the blogs or posts of the wonderful women here I always wish I had more kids! It is so common to hear people talk about what a hardship their children are, but here, though we talk about the hard times, it is evident that we all see them as a true blessing. It is so neat that God has used you is such a beautiful way!!
