As God and I work through it together and I find freedom in Christ, I am writing what He is teaching me.<br /><br />You see, when God finally pushed me to be transparent about my struggles in being the loving, patient, gentle mother I want to be, I discovered that MANY other moms share this struggle. But we are all too ashamed to talk about it - especially in the church! After all, Christian women are supposed to be beyond reproach and we all know that children are a gift from God.<br /><br />I believe that when we keep our sins and struggles hidden in the darkness, the enemy of our souls get free reign. Which leads me to believe that the first step in us becoming free from the hold that anger has on us is to talk about it. So with trembling and queasiness, I've started talking.<br /><br />Well, that was a short explanation made longer, wasn't it?! LOL.E.

I lead Bible Study, ...I've struggled the same. I lead Bible Study, I'm on the retreat team, and I've been taking a Biblical studies course. The second course is coming up - should I, shouldn't I? And I also haven't had a clear answer. What I have had though is obstacles removed...when I didn't think I could complete an assignment an extension was created - that I didn't ask for; when I asked my husband his opinion about the class his response was sort of, "well duh, if you want to lead study you should take the classes"; and when I figured I'd just finish this one assignment and opt out of the next class - my assignment gets scheduled for presentation during the first session of the next class. Hmmm - do you think maybe I'm seeking His will when He's already laid it out for me?<br /><br />FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-8548829979959091572010-02-04T12:30:05.489-07:002010-02-04T12:30:05.489-07:00I feel like I could have written this post! wow!

I really needed that today as I too am struggling with a defineate call to write that I usually ignore as well as coming to terms with another area that I am called to that maybe isn't quite what I had originally hoped. I too often already find myself short with people and irritable, and I am realizing it is often because I am not following the paths God has for me.<br />Thank you for sharing your struggles, you have been an encouragement today.heatherhttp://homekeeping-heather.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-18660256310934228842010-02-04T09:36:21.488-07:002010-02-04T09:36:21.488-07:00PATHS???

I always assumed it to mean, each path in succession. Definite food for thought… Thank-you!<br /> <br />What time should I be praying for you as you share your testimony???E.

As I was reading your blog this minute something struck me. I was preparing my testimony for a Women of Influence meeting today and my verse is Proverbs 3:5-6. When I was working on it I saw for the first time that the verse said "paths", plural. I was stumped. You mean more than one path? I never saw that before. So I'm reading your blog thinking "of course more than one path!" Second thought. When you are doing your passion(s) your joy overflows and I would have to believe that you would be more joyful with your kids, not less. Part of what causes our short temper with our kids is that there is something unresolved on our minds and it is brimming, waiting to be returned to. Add just one mommy question or spilled milk and it feels like the world is too much to handle.<br /><br />Or maybe it's just me. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
