It's Tough
...to be a mom. Today, as I am trying to train my girls, I am just discouraged. I felt as though I was struggling more than they were in my walk! Surges of impatience and frustration kept clouding my perspective of things. If I were not saved, I would use my pregnancy hormones as an excuse, but since I have the all powerful Holy Spirit residing in me, there is no excuse. Once again I am on my knees begging forgiveness from my loving Heavenly Father, and am heartbroken over careless cutting words and harshness towards my children. They are 4 and almost 3! What could possible warrant my harshness? I believe it is the feeling of no control. I cannot "control" my children, and it is not expected of me to. I can only shepherd and lovingly train them so that their hearts turn Godward. This is what I keep reminding myself, but I take their disobediance so personally that I forget my true purpose.
Ahhhh well, it does feel good to just get that out there, even if it is into cyberspace. It does not take away the pain of failing in my task, but it puts it into perspective
