I've been there. I've so been there. Personally, I think the last part is the most important. You addressed it, you said your attitude was wrong, and you apologized.

And we're HOME all day! <BR/><BR/>After a busy week, I've been looking forward to this "down" day with my children. And what have I done? A lot of yelling. I've let my frustrations at missing sippy cups and spills on the floor ruin a perfectly good morning. Thank God there is the afternoon. <BR/><BR/>And I think He rolls his eyes at me A LOT. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the breath of fresh air, and wisdom.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06782544327127527816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920463547101602211.post-36310942510035143512008-09-26T23:06:00.000-05:002008-09-26T23:06:00.000-05:00I really am trying to picture you mad, and nothing...I really am trying to picture you mad, and nothing is coming up in my mind. :)<BR/><BR/>So sorry your day was rough like that.

Oh Fran! I am over here in my Christian apartment (just kidding) on the floor struggling with my own sin nature, Romans 7. You know the real battle in your heart. And you know your God is not rolling His eyes at you---HE knows your frame, Psalm 139. And you are greatly loved! Dan 9:23. And I probably quoted the wrong verse like I did to The Preacher's Wife where I prophesied she was going on a journey. LOL. But I don't have time to look it up cause I have to go back to the floor, dealing with my old sinful nature.Bev Brandon @ The Frayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403416688340930011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920463547101602211.post-1148456566929300602008-09-26T13:36:00.001-05:002008-09-26T13:36:00.001-05:00Again thanks for your openness...

I would get even madder when she acted like I was crazy for being upset with her. After all, the world does revolve around our teenagers! Anyway, just wanted you to know that I can totally relate. I was, however, very grateful when she got her driver's license. :)Mel @ Studio MCA Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288216864369313988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920463547101602211.post-64558276129360222802008-09-26T10:31:00.000-05:002008-09-26T10:31:00.000-05:00My sweet friend...so, I haven't had time to re...My sweet friend...so, I haven't had time to read blogs for awhile & today I am reading & LOVED your post. I start reading your post with a smile on my face as to say.."I understand"...but the end I'm in tears because I know the hurt your heart felt in how you treated your kids. Just this morning I was speaking more loudly to my kids. But, it's nice to know I'm not in this boat alone..I feel a little broken lately, so your post was something I needed to hear. Thank you dear!

And, yesterday morning, I had a similar lapse when I was running late for work and my oldest missed the school bus. So, now I have to drive him and fight that mob trying to wait in an endless line to get into the school driveway and then drop him off and then STILL GET TO WORK. UGH! So, I let him have it, (because he had stayed up too late the night before and then wouldn't get up on time when I had tried over and over to get him up and then missed the bus)and then I had to feel bad all day long at work wishing I hadn't been so ugly with him!<BR/><BR/>Blessings<BR/>MichelleMichelle Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646258316409073003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920463547101602211.post-25376190450440951152008-09-26T10:02:00.000-05:002008-09-26T10:02:00.000-05:00Some days are just so hard, aren't they?

The good thing is that when you got on your knees and told your God about it, He still loved you (even though he heard what you said) and He forgave you completely........He said to you "Go and sin no more" knowing that you would probably do it again sometime and yet He still loves you ........Hallelujah!!!
