I didn't know what to do because no one in real life shares their mistakes. Thank you Sister, thank you so much. God has used you to speak to me and change the way I raise my Children and Love them and my Husband. Thank you. <br /><br />This, I pray, will echo for generation.<br /><br />Thank you and PRAISE THE LORD.<br /><br />I am going to print this out.<br /><br />Many Blessings :)<br />AceAcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115714120919795927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-79211266179386115902009-05-20T00:28:22.854-05:002009-05-20T00:28:22.854-05:00Thanks for your post.

I've been struggling with my 1 yr olds behavior and it seems that it is the same freestyle routine you talk about that is to blame. I struggle with routine and it's no wonder - I was raised without one. I have to stop that cycle! Thanks for the encouragement!!!Angiehttp://sweetpeasspot.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-81698097350016369512009-05-19T22:06:15.870-05:002009-05-19T22:06:15.870-05:00Thank you for this post today.

It seems easy to think everyone else has the perfect family while I still struggle to get my act together. It's actually refreshing and comforting to learn that I'm not a lone duck.<br /><br />In spite of these daily struggles, I do so often see reminders that God is in control every minute of every day and it is that thought that I try to keep my mind on. God is good, more than good, and he is in, and cares about, every detail of our life and our day.<br />Blessings,<br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-39041943810515933792009-05-19T19:27:20.229-05:002009-05-19T19:27:20.229-05:00Thank you so much for submitting this post in all ...Thank you so much for submitting this post in all humility for everyone's benefit. While I am not typically a "yeller", I suffer from outward displays of frustration and disgust when things don't go like I think they should. I, too, have been able to improve with Christ's help, but I desire to go so much further. In fact, the Lord and I were having a little chat just this weekend about this very topic! The root sin is selfishness, lack of self-control, lack of trust, and worshiping the idol of ease (at least for me, anyway). <br /><br />One thought that has really helped me a lot is to remember that I will accomplish everything that GOD WANTS me to accomplish today, and I can be satisfied with that; knowing I have done what HE wanted me to do. Even if things "seem to go wrong", I can relax knowing that my soverign Lord has allowed certain things into our family life for our benefit. And on my part, I am being wiser about not overbooking myself; something that has taken me 25 years of marriage to figure out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564840073358020600noreply@blogger.com
