School was better today. But currently I have my three and half year old and my five and a half year old in their beds. It has been a horrible day of the older two arguing and talking back. To top it all off, my one and a half year old has a horrible cold and is grumpy beyond belief!
My kids are usually good kids. I have not had behavior issues like this ever. Now, I am exhausted from non-stop discipline. It's a new season for sure.
This week the fruit of the spirit we are learning is Patience. I got to thinking about a time in my life where I had to be patient. Some people wait forever to get pregnant. Not me. I have three kids and have had four pregnancies all of them a result of trying ONE time. But I waited a long time for Jeremy. For three years I lived alone, begging God to bring my husband. Finally, the patience paid off and God sent him my way. I must say that waiting on the right spouse to come along was the last time I had to endure long seasons of waiting/patience. As we talked about patience on Monday, I was not sure if I would be able to connect because after all, I have patience. So I thought!
Today I am learning how much patience I need. I've put Josiah's guitar in time out for "one moon" as well as Ava Beth's makeup. I thought that would be enough but the fits continued so now they are in their rooms until I can figure out what to do next.
Lord, help me.
I have comments turned off. The last thing I want right now is advice. Prayers would be great though! :)
