Ladies this is something I am ashamed to admit but I know how important it is to confess my sins. My middle child can be a challenge as she is in an age where she is learning new skills and seeking independence. It is also a time where there are lots of tears and tantrums. I sadly admit that I have lost my patience with her and not always acted with love. Just recently I wanted to just shut everyone out so I could have a couple quiet moments to myself.
Not realizing that when I had closed the door on my daughter her foot was caught at the bottom. All I could think about was how I wanted peace and quiet. Oh how horrible I felt once I saw that I had accidentally hurt her foot. I cried and cried. I cried to my Husband because I know I had not been behaving as He asked me to. I cried to my daughter for my lack of love and kindness. All of this is now allowing me to be very intentional with how I speak and react to my daughter. The last few days I have seen the tantrums and screaming decrease as I am showing her more and more love. I know that the love is flowing from my Beloved to me and through to my daughter. I’m so thankful that my Love cares enough to take my mistakes and turn them into something good.
I love W@H on how we can become better moms and run well organized homes. Our Love doesn’t want us disorganized and yelling. But instead if we run to Him, He will make a way for us.
“When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.”
Proverbs 31:26 NLT
My sweet Elda, I can relate so much with what you shared!! In our motherhood journey, we have bad days, that is why we need Him so much! Having one of those days, He led me to record this:
