I think it helps to know we aren't alone and that we all share in these struggles, even if it all we ever wanted to do. We definitely have to be more intentional, don't we??<br />EliseElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669663704444452161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-17527301470331795742011-06-07T00:11:45.327-04:002011-06-07T00:11:45.327-04:00Wonderful post.

I knew I wanted to comment but really needed to edit what I was saying so as not to take over your blog. :) First, I think every mom feels like you do sometimes - most of us probably feel that way every day. Having 3 young children at home is hard - I only had one and that was hard so I know it's hard with three. We all say things regret (I do all the time) but I have realized that the best thing for me to do is admit I was wrong and apologize. I do it all the time! And I think the kids will remember the apologies and sincerity but not the reason for the apology. I hope so anyway!<br /><br />As moms I think we need to remember not to be so hard on ourselves. There are enough people out there that will be hard on us - we don't need to do it. I am having a hard time this summer with my daughter home - she is used to so much stimulation and now things are slower and that's how I want them to be but it's hard to get her to that place. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your feelings and remember you're not alone. :)Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179975836835123468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-75172479825285478522011-06-06T10:04:20.868-04:002011-06-06T10:04:20.868-04:00Monica, i love the post and the scripture you shar...Monica, i love the post and the scripture you shared and the song. When i am found in the desert place ,blessed be Your name!! I love your honesty and humble spirit in which you shared your struggles. It is God who can and will reclaim ground. He will too, as you follow and obey, His spirit will minister and grow your precious ones. I have watched this happen in my own life, not by any good found in me, but ALL by His grace. Blessed be His Name and Lord bless you Monica as you seek Him. tammypAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-50642184048200030962011-06-05T19:57:37.112-04:002011-06-05T19:57:37.112-04:00A book I just read that talks about honor in the f...A book I just read that talks about honor in the family is titled, "Say Goodbye to Whining, Cmplaining, and Bad Attitudes in you and your kids!" by Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller.

I "copied" it and will add it to the list of things that have made me smile today :) :) I'm still single, so I can't totally identify with that :) :) However, I did say some unking words to my father this week, and I felt convicted about it later. I've really started to make my home a haven..officially as of today :) :) I even wrote a blog post yesterday about it.. H owever, I noticed today how my attitude was better. I noticed how the change in my words/attitude had a good affect on my dad. I really do love him lots ;) :) Thanks for all the awesome Scripture verses, too :) :) Have a great weekend.

You're probably familiar with what Jesus says in John 14: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--the Spirit of truth." When you're overwhelmed or don't know where to begin, the Holy Spirit is with you to give you guidance. God's peace to you.Leah Schoutenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03354320471755969530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-30559896071764072872011-06-03T16:12:36.607-04:002011-06-03T16:12:36.607-04:00Thanks for sharing your heart in this post, Monica...Thanks for sharing your heart in this post, Monica! It spoke to me and I can relate to all of it. How I need more of the Spirit in my words and attitude and so much less of me. We've had some very challenging days here lately where I feel like we're living in a war zone. How I don't want to contribute to it, but rather long for peace. It's my heart's cry these days!

But I know it is never to late to learn something or teach my children something no matter the age. We just recently switched and joined a different church and this church so touches our hearts. I have cried many services and the pastors words always touch my heart. We have been singing that exact song the last 3 Sundays. I just love it. On a side note please say a prayer of praise for my youngest daughter who is being baptized on Sunday at our local lake. We are so excited for her.
