Well, today isn't over yet, but I have other things to do and read, so I'm doing this now. I have decided that my biggest obstacle is obedience to the laws of God. Not that I am defiant in any way, but that I really drag my feet when it comes to walking the walk, despite the idea that I can talk the talk for hours. I also came to the realization that I frequently expect my children to obey me quickly, to do as I say, to be, well, obedient. But, as I stated earlier, they learn well from example, and I can bet that they notice when I'm not doing all I've been told to do!! I did, however, talk to Z about God's hand in our lives, and he discussed with me how when he is angry, he doesn't really want to get over it. He likes being angry, and so my suggestion to him to pray to get over his anger kind of upsets him more. I can relate, as I know I'm bringing it up at the wrong time. I should not point out his anger while he's angry. That's like telling someone who is overweight that the brownie they are holding in their hand is part of the problem, and we all know how that goes over.
