Have you ever had one of those days where it seems that everything just goes wrong? Well, today I had one of those days. I woke up in the morning and had all these things planned for the day, but as the day went on, none of it came to pass. It seemed that every time I tried to accomplish something, it didn't go the right. I cried because I was so ashamed for yelling and losing my patience on a child who is too little to understand what it is I'm angry and frustrated about. When I look and see at all the trials and tribulations that some of my family and friends are going through, how dare I complain about something that is so small! Then I think about the awesomeness of God's patience and love towards me. I think about all the times that I've messed up and have made my Father disappointed and not once did he ever lose control. Instead, He reached out and poured His love on me even more. What is sad, is that I messed up and I knew better, I knew right from wrong, unlike my children. I'd have to say that it's a pretty tough job raising and teaching children when most of it is living by example to them. Prayer is the best tool I have to keep me on track because I don't think I could do this on my own strength because I fail quite often. At then end of the day I just have to forgive myself for messing up and realize tomorrow is a new day and it can be better. If something doesn't go right, just let it go and say "oh well". I know these moments with my children won't last forever and I am going to make the best memories with them while I can. It's not worth getting upset and bent out of shape over something that I won't even remember later on in life. I am human, I make mistakes, but it's up to me wether or not I stay down and defeated or learn from it and move on. I choose to move on or as that saying goes, "Keep Calm and Carry on"!
