Anger is something I have noticed in myself recently - and anger leads to all sorts of other stuff I need to apologize to my kids for tomorrow when they wake up! Self introspection is something that needs to be taught more often.<br />ShellieCarolina Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863819639629563534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-2778204313063516902009-08-08T22:11:03.094-05:002009-08-08T22:11:03.094-05:00Dear Mrs. Fuentes,
I don't know if you'll ...Dear Mrs. Fuentes,<br />I don't know if you'll get this or not being that the original post is a couple years old, but I have a question for you in regards to anger. I used to yell alot at my kids when I would get frustrated with them, I have gotten better because now my kids have started yelling too when they get upset. I'm wondering what you do when your kids upset you? I so want to have a quiet and gentle spirit with my kids, but my first response sometimes when they start fighting, bickering, disobeying is to yell at them to stop it. This obviously doesn't work, so I'm wondering what worked for you? Thank you,<br />JulieJuliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088007727747970281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-6491004984368354012007-08-08T22:55:00.000-05:002007-08-08T22:55:00.000-05:00Anna,I found some serious flaws in mine too.

Thanks for being so honest in your comments.<BR/><BR/>**********************<BR/><BR/>Sadie & Hannah & Mrs. Brigham,<BR/><BR/>Your welcome! The Lord knew I needed this too.<BR/><BR/>***********************<BR/><BR/>Toodlebugs,<BR/><BR/>I love what you wrote about John Bunyan and ministry. Yes, pride comes and comes so quickly--we must forever be checking ourselves even for the smallest hint of pride lest it manifest itself in our hearts unbeknown to us and destruction awaits for us at the door. I will be looking into this book in the near future!<BR/><BR/>************************<BR/><BR/>Christine,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing with such honesty. I always appreciate honesty and transparency!June Fuentes @ A Wise Woman Builds Her Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01821276536385551195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-38543543031967704862007-08-07T20:01:00.000-05:002007-08-07T20:01:00.000-05:00I have never done that.

While re-reading "The Excellent Wife", by Martha Peace today the subject happened to be the wife's heart and idols that we tend to set up or rather worship. What is it that we put before the Lord? Our family? Our home? Our ministry? Isn't it all His?? Shouldn't we be asking not my will but thy will? Not what am I going to do today but what does He desire for me to do? Am I willing to give Him my whole heart or only just pieces? This is an area that needs weeding and pruning in my own life.<BR/>Also,while reading "The Memoirs of John Bunyan",he discusses how you must be on guard even in ministry. For while doing the good work, almost immediately, pride will come. <BR/>We should always have self examination,but not a guilt trip! I find that after I notice the horrible sin in my life and I feel guilt and remorse,then I want to wallow in self pity,also a sin!! My DH always corrects me in this error and tells me to pick myself up and lay down that sin. When you ask forgiveness is He not faithful to do it? Truly Gods mercies are a wonderous thing!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-82251710762549826442007-08-06T13:08:00.000-05:002007-08-06T13:08:00.000-05:00Beautiful post, thank you.HannahBeautiful post, thank you.<BR/>HannahMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161153959289171264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-85564830768536955692007-08-06T13:01:00.000-05:002007-08-06T13:01:00.000-05:00What a good idea, and a very needed one!
