I'm pretty forgiving about many of my own failures (probably because I make so many of them) but I seem to be unable to recognize my own success until someone else notices it. It's as if I don't trust myself to say, "Hey, good job" until I hear it from someone else. <br />And let me just validate you for a moment. With every single thing on your plate (your job, your husband's job, your three girls, keeping up your home, the blog, the book, extended family, and friends) it's amazing that you aren't constantly losing much more than your keys.

Actually, yesterday was lovely and we were able to organically speak about what transpired the previous evening. God worked out some amazing things for us too. So even though it initially hurt, I see God working things for the better. I keep on having to hand my children and husband over to God (as you know, I've been working on this). He loves them more than I ever could... I have to trust in that assurance.<br /><br /><br />Thanks Robin. I hope you have a lovely weekend.<br />xoxoJennifer | The Deliberate Momhttp://thedeliberatemom.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-9740688887523893072014-02-08T00:51:38.660-05:002014-02-08T00:51:38.660-05:00I hope you find your keys and I suggest getting a ...I hope you find your keys and I suggest getting a purse hook so that they can safely dangle in your purse until you get home and place them on a hook by the door or tray which I hope you already have lol best of luck :)Mari Coronanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-80180814068652340492014-02-07T21:39:03.333-05:002014-02-07T21:39:03.333-05:00Cell phones are related to keys.

And especially the toilet.)<br /><br />So glad that the post spoke to you today, and thank you so much for your prayers. Praying for you, too.Robin Kramer | Pink Dryer Linthttp://www.pinkdryerlint.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-4438479968984914322014-02-07T16:12:19.008-05:002014-02-07T16:12:19.008-05:00I always feel like a failure. I thought it was pos...I always feel like a failure. I thought it was postpartum at first but hearing other moms talk about these things makes me think that maybe it is something more, and less. When my son goes to his room for the fifth time that day because we just cannot see eye to eye and I don't know WHAT else to do with him, I feel like a failure. When I see him being mean to his baby sister and I have no clue how to teach him to treasure her instead of pick on her, I feel like a failure. When I see a pile of dishes in the sink even though I got dinner and laundry done I feel like a failure. I never understood mommy guilt until my daughter was born, now it seems like it is all I feel.Michelle Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3356107853796107267.post-35060324877748209132014-02-07T13:07:52.392-05:002014-02-07T13:07:52.392-05:00I needed to read this today! Really. Last night I ...I needed to read this today! Really. Last night I cried for almost an hour thinking I've messed up as a parent... that there's no way to overcome the fact that after grounding my six-year-old daughter, she screamed "I hate you, I hate your consequences, and wish you and daddy were dead."<br /><br /><br />Why would she say such a thing? Does she understand what that means? She couldn't possibly imagine how words like that can haunt a person.<br /><br /><br />Needless to say, I realized that I can't torment myself for this. Christ was a holy sacrifice so I could be forgiven... I need to be gentler on myself and more importantly, forgive myself and my daughter.<br /> <br />Last night as I got ready to go to bed I thought of Anne Shirley's famous words, "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it." So far, it's been a new day, a good day.<br /><br /><br />I lose my keys all the time too. It drives my husband (and myself) crazy because I, like you, am VERY organized.<br /><br /><br />Praying your keys turn up. Sorry for writing a novella here as a comment.<br /><br /><br />Wishing you a lovely weekend.<br />xoxoJennifer | The Deliberate Momhttp://thedeliberatemom.com/noreply@blogger.com
