Yesterday happened. It was for real and it hurt. Marlin just shook his head when i told him what happened. I'll be honest in that it hurts my pride to admit that my children have those moments, especially when i have a link to "no greater joy" on my blog, lol. Whenever i have a day like that, it's a warning to me that i'm missing it somewhere. It's time to search my heart, see where the missing link is and then change. As i mentioned on a blog post before, i was a mouthy kid and my siblings aren't exactly known for being the quiet in the land. I love Emily's spunk and spitfire but when it comes out in a disrespectful, big mouthed way, it brings me to my knees. If she doesn't learn how to control her emotions now, her life will be so much harder, not to mention the people around her. She has one of the sweetest, most tender heart's i've ever seen in a girl and i treasure that. I also have a HUGE responsibility and that is to train that little heart. I couldn't feel more inadequate but i know where to go for wisdom. And in training her, i'm training myself. God knew what He was doing when He gave us children like ourselves...................
