Wow... My 12 year old is so sweet and I am constantly humbled and proud to be her mom... But sometimes she can boil my blood! Amazing how the negativity and sass of a child can change the mood of the day! I know I'm always telling my kids not to let your surroundings or the people you are with determine your happiness... But do I really have the strength to stay joyful when my 12 year old is mouthing off?! I'm so agitated I literally feel like kicking the dog... (To be fair... The dog was also whining at me cuz I refused to let her wander the grounds however she pleased).
Ask... Lord... I ask for patience and wisdom!
Seek... Proverbs... I think I need to read a little from there today.
Knock... Not sure how to apply this here... (Any suggestions?)
My current favorite song is "Breathe" by Jonny Diaz. (If you feel like you are running all day and can't catch your breath... It's a song you should look up.)
I'm up in my room right now... Cuz I stormed off from getting annoyed at listening to her complain about life... Real mature right?
Guess I gotta go back down.. I hear thumps and crashes (boys gone wild)...
Say a prayer and wish me luck! That I will survive this wonderfully crazy preteen time! That I will enjoy the pleasant times and be a good example and have much patience in the other times.
