The Best of Me
I, frankly, am tired of my job getting the best of me. Now please do not get me wrong. I love being a teacher. I love German. Moreover, I love my students. Some of the neatest young adults you will ever meet want to learn to speak German. (I'll post on that another time.) Still, in light of all that, I am sad and yes, you could even say feel guilty, that I work all day and then when I get home I am tired and impatient. That is not fair to my girls or my husband. Tonight I literally had a mommy tantrum. After yelling at them for the umpteenth time about touching the computer, hitting each other, hitting me, yelling about their stupid Dora show that I refused to let them watch for the second time today, and throwing blocks, I sent them all to bed early, sat down and had a cry. When I figure out how to live a life of balance, I will let you know. Until then, I pray that tomorrow night, I am awake and filled with patience.

I wonder, my dear friend, if your blog title doesn't give us some insight into the Lord's heart: if we take some time to sit at his feet, we will be filled with all we need to meet the day's challenges. I'm praying you may find even a couple of minutes each day to sit as His feet and be filled with Him so that you can give and give and give to all of those who need you. I love you, friend! - Cindy
