I yelled at my kids tonight. I got frustrated and irritated and I snapped at them. Over glow sticks.
As I sat down to prepare this post, I got angry at my kids and lost my temper. I was focused on what I felt was important at the time, and I honestly just wanted them to go to bed.
Instead they wanted glow sticks. So I got angry and I lost it.
I wanted to come before you today in my best outfit, with perfect hair and just the right words…and instead I am here a broken sinner. A woman in need of grace.
How can I possibly be an example here when I don’t have it all together?!
Have you ever felt that way?
Unqualified and ill-equipped?
Maybe, if you are anything like me, you feel like God can’t use you if you aren’t “perfect.”
I am sharing my story over at God-sized Dreams – would you join me over there for the rest of the story?!

This may come out wrong, but I’m thankful you don’t have it all together! Because if you did, you wouldn’t need His grace. Right? When I get frustrated with myself and how I let my sin overtake my attitudes with my kids {or Kev for that matter} I try to remind myself that I WANT my kids to see His grace. Not that I want them to see my flub up repeatedly, but hopefully when I ask forgiveness for raising my voice they will see His grace in me. Thanks for sharing and being real about the times you don’t have it all together! 🙂
