Today

Today has been a bad mothering day... yelling and unwise words in response to Lucy's awful behavior. So I'm remembering this from yesterday:



Apparently, it's me. I asked Lucy why I look so sad in the picture, and she said, "You're crying because it's your birthday!" I thought, at first, she had some deep understanding of how adults don't want to get older. But then she said, "Remember, you cried on your birthday?" She was remembering my surprise party when I cried at seeing Daddy, Mama, Greg, and Lucy here. Love it.

I am so sorry you are having a day like that; they are the worst! I immediately prayed for guidance, wisdom with your words, moments of rejuvination & peace for you and ultimately that you'd be filled with holy spirit in order to even know what to say. I find myself praying for the holy spirit daily:):)... to fill me with the patience only the Lord can give! LOVE, LOVE that you were able to reflect on the sweet moment of the day before; that's great! Hang in there...... and you're not a bad mom!! the furthest thing from it actually:)!

I was hoping and praying Lucy was getting better. Well we'll give her a little more time. You're a wonderful mother so don't get discouraged. I love you. L&K N
