YES! Baby #3 is about to be born, and I SO covet others’ prayers b/c I know my hormones are going to be all over the place and out of whack! Out of all of the upcoming changes THAT is the one I am most worried about and needing to hold FAST to HIM!!

Thanks for this encouragement today, Lara!

Great reminder that it is so important to know what triggers our fleshly behavior because you are absolutely right when you say that Satan knows which buttons to press!! Thanks! ;). P.S. Love how you write! I literally feel like you’re telling me about this as we sit across from each other sipping coffee. 😉

In reply to Keya @ Nourished Motherhood. Ha. "I didn't 'abuse' anybody" Lovely, huh. These hormones are so real. And you are right, rest is so key. When I'm tired I'm much more quick to react rather than thoughtfully pause and pray. Thanks for commenting, Keya.

In reply to Kim Sorgius. But it's such a good excuse. *wink* You're right, though. Victory is available. Blessings, friend!

You know i’m finally realizing the impact that hormone have on me. I use to just attribute that time of the month to me being mean and rude by nature. But It really is hormonal changes that drive us crazy. I also realize now that being in constant prayer and meditation and reading during that time of the month is SO important. This month my husband and I joked that I didn’t “abuse” anybody in the house and I think it is because I have been very serious and earnest about praying every morning, meditating every night and of course reading and going to bed on time. Oh proper rest helps too.

I am SO guilty of using things like PMS as excuses for my attitude rather than making any attempt to rise above it. Thanks for the reminder. Victory over these things is totally available to me…
