Sometimes I feel so guilty having those feelings like I had a desire for a big family..but there are some major struggles right now that make it hard to enjoy family time. I'm at my whits end with my daughters defiance. I've tried different tactics and a host of discipline techniques and I'm just plan wore out and exhausted by the afternoon everyday.I just really need God to intervene! ♡ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-6118521390255122902016-10-21T23:02:39.486-04:002016-10-21T23:02:39.486-04:00Oh gosh!

Our families, home educating, husbands who work long hours can sap our energy and our joy.<br /><br />I'm reminded of Paul's words "fixing our eyes on Jesus" - that whole passage is summed up in your final sentence!

My hard things (singleness) may be different than yours with kids but both drive us to Jesus. In fact, I was talking to Eden about this very thing tomorrow.
