Thank you so much for sharing it here. I think of the other women who come along here quietly and might be so encouraged to think about beauty and dare to be free in that. Pinterest has been a total blessing to me as far as style/fashion goes. It has really given me courage to see that women dress the way they want to and there are a ton of examples of women dressing the way that I'm drawn to. It's truly an inspiration and courage spot for me. And I love to see my friends' style too! So fun. btw, I am totally cheering you on with the art. You go, girl! I'm so proud of you and I will totally be praying with you! Keep me posted, k? Gosh, I love this, Joy! Thank you so much for sharing it here.

Your so honest and I appreciate it. Boy, do I know what you are talking about! I have one who struggles with attention, being hyper, impulse control......the repetition wears me out. I yell sometimes. I am getting better because like you point out, I have been learning it just doesn't work. Modeling and practicing goes so much further. I also find routine (self discipline for me) helps calm the storms. That and keeping them more busy then free time. And by that I mean having planned time frames for them. You have more and younger ones then I do but each one knowing where and who he is with during the morning focused hours makes the free play in the afternoon go much smoother. Your doing a great job with your kids. You do know that right? Your the perfect mom for each one of them. :o) Though I am not in your daily life....your heart for them is so evident.

I stopped yelling when I sent them to school after 5 years of homeschool. I am a better mom when I have some space, much better mom. I am also a better mom as they have gotten older. They are 14, 13 and 9 and I swear this is the best time as a mom. They have some self-control, some discipline and there is very rarely a reason to yell. Is that because I spent so much time early on training? Probably. My point is not that you should send them to school, it's to have hope that things can get better and they will in time. We yell and get mad because something they do is in the way of what we want. Your points are very good on your blog. Have plenty of grace for yourself. Parenting/mothering has got to be the hardest job ever. Blessings for trying to do better! What works for me you may not want to hear.

Loved the reminder. My day was long and hard yesterday in different ways....mostly because I wasn't looking where I was going but behind and ahead. New mercies today for both of us, my friend.
