What a day that will be!!!

So today started out like it should have been a Monday. I am sure the full moon added to the days delight. I have two children whom are very different at times, but somehow seem to team those times when you think the devil has entered your home. haha The last two days where very off for my children, with saying no and not doing as they where asked. Don't even try to ask my so loving baby girl to help make her bed, it TOOK TWO HOURS!!! That was just the last two days. Tim has worked all day today, and we have a funeral in a few moments for a dear friend. So it has been me and my so adorable babies today. From writing on the wall, tv and teddy bear, to dumping the laundry basket in the floor after i just finished, to tearing up school work and putting it in the trash to laying in the floor screaming and kicking for spider man. So what may seem like they are being children and pushing the boundaries was like pulling my hair out today. My children are no where near perfect and need to mind better than they do, but on a daily routine there is none of what happen today. I think something got a hold on them and i couldn't get it out of them. Try punishment... forget that it was funny or a way to push momma even further. So after I walked out of another mess in the bedroom i sat down on the coach in silence. I did not answer to momma, mommy, mam, please, nothing. And about 10 min later I had my angels back with love. So today has been wonderful!! As my children like to push until I fuss or until I punish, they do not like it when mommy doesn't talk! So I realized as I was sitting there praying in silence and allowing them to realize who mommy is and what was going to happen if they didn't straighten up, I also thought how many times do i react to them in quick punishment which does not change the behavior it just hurts their feelings. Instead of walking out of the room in silence. Man is it easy to yell, but it is so peaceful and fulfilling to be silent. Isn't that just like what the Lord ask of us. Be still, silent and know that I am here. That he sees our every sin, hears our every word, reads our every thought, and what he asked of us as children is to come to our father and be silent and listen to him speak sofly to us. Exodus 14:14
