Pursue peace - smile in your home - pray out loud when your feeling irritable - count to ten - go outside and cool off - take every drastic measure you can to bring yourself under control.<br /><br />Read a Proverb a day and you will find a lot of wisdom for parenting! Dig in - pray daily and watch your home be transformed! <br /><br />You are not alone on this journey - I still struggle some days when I am tired and the kids are not cooperating. But the tug of the Holy Spirit in this area has been strong and given me more victory than defeat.<br /><br />Hang in there!<br />CourtneyCourtney (Women Living Well)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09656103671995728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-18323106925182744332010-07-16T21:52:37.912-04:002010-07-16T21:52:37.912-04:00I realize you wrote this over a year ago, but I ju...I realize you wrote this over a year ago, but I just came across it and so needed it tonight. I am sitting here at my computer so disgusted with myself for how impatient I have been with my girls lately, especially today. I don't want to be that way, any advice you have is appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-38117647173608989782009-05-11T18:13:00.000-04:002009-05-11T18:13:00.000-04:00Julie - I'm with you - I don't always have the mos...Julie - I'm with you - I don't always have the most "gentle" looks either - so there's one more thing to add to the list to work on - my facial expressions!!! <br /><br />Kimi - hang in there and know you are not alone. Definately the busier I am the more I struggle. Under pressure it seems easier to thoughtlessly explode. But when I slow down and think things through I almost always make the right choice. This is one reason I look forward to homeschooling - because (hopefully) we can slow down the pace of life a bit.Courtney (Women Living Well)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09656103671995728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-74679897425659977882009-05-11T14:43:00.000-04:002009-05-11T14:43:00.000-04:00I have really been struggling with this miserably ...I have really been struggling with this miserably as we are dealing with the terrible twos in full force right now!! I'm noticing that its my own frustrations with myself and trying too hard to get "my" stuff done that is causing so much of my lack of gentleness. I'm trying really hard to set aside my frustrations and calmy and quietly explain to her what I want of her but boy is it hard!I'm in desperate need of the Holy Spirit on this one!Thanks for your honesty and humility and your encouragement!kimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535027018761258247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-12509718467345916112009-05-11T11:51:00.000-04:002009-05-11T11:51:00.000-04:00Thank you for your encouragement today. This morn...Thank you for your encouragement today. This morning I saw one of those flashes in my son's eyes that told me I was not "looking" gentle. I was reminded that I need to yield my tongue and face :) to the Lord. I'm glad to be reminded I'm not the only mom feeling that today, and I'll be more gentle this afternoon than I was this morning with God's help.Juliehttp://www.comehaveapeace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423302133297844372.post-38319661300595922942009-05-11T11:26:00.000-04:002009-05-11T11:26:00.000-04:00Dear Courtney!
