It's hard...
Trying to turn the natural born bad instincts into good.
I naturally want to act bad and so do my kids..the only difference is that I know how I should act and my kids don't know all the time. And they watch. They imitate. They observe my actions and if I act out in ways that are inappropriate, they think it's ok. I try to be on my best behavior, because actions are louder than words.

We're all born like a messy junk drawer. We are constantly trying to be organized but never fail to stay unorganized. But luckily we're all messes with a purpose. A God given purpose. I want to teach my kids to focus on their God given purpose so their junk drawers are more neat than messy.
Sometimes it feels like, so far, NOT so good. I just ruined my kids' good behavior expectations by the way I reacted to a situation. And other times I am thanking God for giving me patience for the 100th fit that was thrown that day.
As much as I can make life sound so perfect and fun by all the cute stories I write in this blog, it is no secret that there are those days where life feels way less than perfect and not fun at all!
Today is a good day. As I write this blog entry, this is what I'm watching my kids do as they laugh hysterically! Hoping they wear themselves out for bedtime!
No matter what, God is good and I'm lucky He gave all of us messes a purpose in life!
Oh ya, and the whole reason I'm talking about junk drawers is because I have 2 that need to be organized right now. And I'm not talking about figurative junk drawers. They're the real deal! lol.
