I've gone through the gamut of emotions over the past many months and even just this past week. I've gone from grieving to anger and back. I'm realizing that I have a choice in how I react to this. Sure I'm angry but if I STAY angry then the enemy wins. Not just the "enemy" here on earth, also the enemy Satan.
I keep coming back to the fact that I want to honor God. I'm not sure how this situation honors God because right now I'm frustrated and mad at everyone and everything. Perhaps I can pray for the strength to honor God in my situation.
First we make the thought, THEN we have the emotion. We are not prisoners of our emotions. I've learned that the hard way! :-) I just want to be an honorable mom who teaches her girls how to be honorable women. Oh how inadequate I feel for that task but I serve a very adequate and perfect Savior. And I'm not alone. I might be the only person in the room and in my house at this point but I am never alone. I'm not alone.
