Announcement

It is with heavy heart that I announce that I will be postponing my training and work with the Real Diaper Association. I make this decision after much thought and prayer. I still support the RDA and their work and hope to one day continue on the course towards becoming a Circle Leader.

It was brought to my attention that by bringing the RDA to Abilene I was unknowingly upsetting some individuals. In no unclear terms I was told by one person that cloth diapering was her cause and that there was no need for the RDA here. While I disagree, these exchanges have caused me to put off my work with the RDA for the time being.

I am reminded of the discussion of eating idol meat in 1 Corinthians 8. Paul states that even if it is within your right to do something, even if you aren’t doing anything wrong, if your actions make it harder for another person to be brought to Christ and to see the Gospel in your life, you have the responsibility to change. If my work with the RDA limits my ability to reach even one person with the message of Christ, then it is not something I wish to pursue.

What does this mean?

I will still continue to use cloth diapers and tell everyone I know about how awesome I believe them to be for babies, families, and the global community.

I will still support and maintain relationship with the retailers I have worked with and help them to grow their businesses in any way that I can.

I will not be continuing my training as a circle leader at this time.

I will not be planning the Great Cloth Diaper Change for 2014. Should someone else wish to host the event next year, I will gladly pass on the information I have and assist in any way possible.

I am incredibly grateful for the friendships I have made through this time and all that I have learned. I appreciate the support I have received as I have taken this journey so far and would appreciate your continued support at this time. This decision was not made lightly, but I feel this is what is best for me and my family right now.

Thank you, and God bless.
