Amazing...

This week was pretty amazing... We had a guest speaker at church Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It was awesome!!! Completely made us put a whole lot more into perspective. Although on the down side had some things revealed about myself that was not so pretty, but at least it has made me aware of things to pray about and work on. Well by Wednesday I was so completely overwhelmed and exhausted I felt like I could not move. Emotional stress tires you out more than physical labor!!! Well on top of all that the children were full of it that night. As I was laying in bed still hearing them at 1:30am(??????) I know what your thinking I was too. I decided to get up and really enforce my authority.....ha ha did I get a surprise!!! When I walked in the room I seen that they had taken dry erase markers and painted each others faces completely.....grrrrrr So for the next 45 minutes I spent in the bathroom scrubbing faces while hearing very comfortable,relaxing snores out of my husband from the other room. By the time I got back to bed I was so frustrated I could fall asleep for another half an hour. Why do the children do the dumbest stuff sometimes????? Seems as though they know right when to push you when your working on an area of your life that you truly have to strive to overcome in situations like these. I passed the test and was even will to wake up so encouraged this morning!!! God had blessed us with the gift of parenting and it's up to us to raise them up and direct them in the direction that is true to them yet is right. That's the ultimate goal of mine and I hope this will be something i look back on in 15-20 years and see we have succeeded!!!
