The goal of this blog is the bring glory to Christ while living out my very real life. I am in a real moment right now. I am mad. Now there are those that argue Christians should never get mad. Maybe true; maybe not- maybe somewhere in between. I will not try to pretend it is a "righteous anger" at all the injustices in the world. Nope- more like a flesh anger. Someone has ticked me off. How does that bring glory to Christ? The anger probably doesn't. However, how I handle it does. When I woke up this morning still mad, I again began praying. Lord I don't want to have all this in me. I want to deal with this in a gracious and loving and TRUTHFUL way. Help me Holy Spirit. Give me wisdom and peace.
So - today - you can pray for this very real woman who has a a very real temper and sometimes a very real sense of being mad.
Side note - it is not HH. AND today is my last day of work with students:)

Joshua 24:15
"And if it seems evil for you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve... But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

lifting you up in prayer!! love you
I found you blog today and thought what a great thing you getting to stay at home. I too left teaching to stay home with my kids and have heard over and over again what a great career for moms teaching is and why did I leave. Usually by non teachers. We know it isn't a family friendly career since we use so much energy on other people's children. My husband is a teacher and we scrimp to make it on a teacher's salary but it is well worth it to be with my girls.
You can get through this Rhonda!! Proverbs29:11----A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control. This too shall pass!!!----Joanne
Joanne - THANK YOU! That was exactly what I needed to hear:) seriously - exactly!
Shel - thank you for your encouragement. Yes- it is very tiring raising other people's kids and knowing that mine don't get the best of me. This is a HUGE jump, just as I am sure yours was, so if you come back to read - keep encouraging me - I am sure I will need it!
Hey Rhonda!
Have a great Monday! Love you,Joanne
hello? hello? is anyone there?
I hope things are better!!
I so admire how you handle all of these normal life situations! And for the Christians that argue we should never get mad? Exactly how would you justify that point of view biblically? Just wondering......
I am hoping that by now things have gotten better!
