I fully know exactly how you felt! Eli is now three and a half and full of energy that manifests itself through fits of discontentment and manipulation. I must say, it's a comfort to know that other moms who deem values and discipline more important than the ease of the moment suffer the same problems I do. It's not a reflection of us as parents, but rather it's a reflection of humanity and its natural rebelliousness. Yes, my child is a rebel through and through (no matter how well-behaved or how strong the tantrums are) without the saving grace of our Lord Jesus. And I need it just as much as I lose focus in the daily moments of finding my identity and fulfillment in other things and other people's thoughts of me rather than my Lord.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this experience and reminding us all that we need it just as much as our kids do! The same sins preside. They just manifest themselves a little differently as we mature.geniene simrakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715633374295498939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813022512816744122.post-11806415670502246512009-09-01T22:08:06.382-06:002009-09-01T22:08:06.382-06:00Wow, if that kind of person had caught me on a bad...Wow, if that kind of person had caught me on a bad day, my kids would have ended up disciplining me! Nice to see your perspective shift so nicely after the fact. Now just try to get your head to stop thinking of all the things you could've said in retrospect...amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133878241580637499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813022512816744122.post-92103288131529890872009-09-01T20:46:01.003-06:002009-09-01T20:46:01.003-06:00Oh Rachel - I'm sorry.

I would have been tempted to put the groceries down and use the point of my elbow.<br />Jillkisol007https://www.blogger.com/profile/06438185455604500124noreply@blogger.com
