My Little Women and Men at Home

Jan. 30, 2007

It's Time...

Okay, so it isn't really that I'm having a baby just yet...but I feel like I just can't wait until Friday!  I'm irritable, cranky, sore and tired!  Not a good combination ;-p  Now it could be contributed to the fact that my due date is Saturday and I'm scheduled for a c-section Friday, it could be that my feet are swollen and my hands get tingley when I knit.  It could be that my daughters are pushing my buttons and that I feel like a failure as an encourager for my hubby!  Then again it could just be me and my sinful nature, with the Lord saying....straighten up and trust my timing! 

That said, I hope today will be better than yesterday and that I wont lose my temper with my daughters.  They were misbehaving and throwing a double fit(meaning both of them at the same time...7 and 4)  and what did I do?  Did I calmly seperate them and discipline them in a calm manner?  Nooooo...I lost my temper and yelled(and I do mean YELLED) at them...sigh...

Did it help?  No, not really.  I ended up apologizing for my own tantrum and felt really horrible, asked for forgiveness from not only God but my children as well.  It is amazing...I've been feeling like I've been doing much better with this and then...BOOM...I blew it.  Well, back to my knees I will go and cry out to the Lord for mercy and help!  It is the only way...and He is the only one that can truly change me.

If I cross your thoughts today...send up a prayer!

Jan. 30, 2007 - prayers

Posted by Underdog
I came to your blog to check on you. I will be praying for you over the next two days. I could have written your post a week ago. It's funny. Once Josiah was born, I could completely see the areas where God was growing me in all the waiting. I began to see WHY God had me waiting as He did. And I completely believe that God has great compassion for us when we blow up at our children. It's not an excuse for our sin but it's a time remember just how great His grace is on us. He's holding you in His arms. It's so hard to hear these words when you are big and miserable. But I know from recent experience that He's watching you and holding you and knows your trouble and pain right now.

TWO MORE DAYS, girl!!!!! Can you find a way to pass time away, like walking around the mall or something like that? That's what I did last week.

I am praying.

In His Grace,

Karen

This is my place to come and chat about God, my family, my life, and my homeschool endeavors. I am happily married, with two beautiful "Little Women" and a new "Little Man". We've been homeschooling for a year and are using a Classical Christian perspective and some of Charlotte Mason's principles as well.

Homeschooling classically can be different! It can be less hurried in the younger years! It can be Christian and focused on His word!
