Duh, that meaning quoting you on “Irritability isn’t fruit of His Spirit”

So often your posts get me but today you landed a straight shot between my eyes. Trying to figure out how I can put that up on a wall somewhere so I am CONSTANTLY reminded.
Thank you so much!!

Especially with my children…I let their attitudes and forgetfulness get the better of me and I turned into a ranting, irritated mother. This is very convicting for me and I will spend some time praying about how God would want me to be able to step back and calm my nerves…

Thank you for your words this morning!

You are precious. And so tender to Him, my friend. We’re all on the journey. You aren’t alone. We’re just needy for His grace. That’s what’s so amazing about Him. Praying and believing Him to fill us full today. 🙂

He’s so tender to open our eyes to our own weaknesses. Isn’t He? But it isn’t to crush us. It’s to remind us of our continual desperation for Him. Praying with you, Shannon, that I am focused on hearts more than the tasks at hand.

Jodi, the crazy thing is I had nothing to do with planning it! My sister and a friend of ours totally did it on their own. I’m so excited that the word is spreading…and excited that I get to be a part of a local party. 🙂

Too often I’m irritable about the very things you write about – the housework I just did getting undone by itty bitties and teens, kids forgetting to do what they’ve been asked to do, etc etc, and I definitely need to remember “irritability is not a fruit of His Spirit.” I want to be filled with His Spirit. I’ve been praying about this recently, really convicted, and I appreciate your words this morning.
