...because earlier today when Johnathan was throwing a huge tantrum I yelled...at him...loudly.  He was kicking me, and I told him to stop...my patience had worn thin, and I took out my frustration by yelling.  What a humbling moment when I realized how I had failed to let Christ control my emotions, failing to give my tired toddler grace when it was most definitely needed.  *Jesus, please help me to be patient when my nerves are wearing thin.* 
Johnathan cried. 
I cried.   
I asked for his forgiveness. 
And he wanted me to sing him to sleep. 
All is forgiven.

Gracie,
Your humble attitude is so sweet. I hope to learn to be as humble when I have my own kids!
Love you,

I had the same experience today. I just cant handle the screaming very well. I felt sad too, thanks for sharing this. It helped me too. Love you guys
I have done that too. Isn't it horrible?! I just try to remember that I am making memories for him. I need to be so so careful.
