It is no mystery that I struggle with my children all the time. Kimmy is always pushing my buttons, Matthew is starting to push, and I am scared that if I don't get a handle on this, Jacob will push too. So I am always looking for answers.
The other night was the last straw for me. It was a bad day all around but ended with me getting so upset that I wondered if I would have a heart attack at a young age. So I got on my knees and was pleading to my Heavenly Father to help me and give me answers. I went to bed feeling like he was pondering how to answer my prayer.
The next morning I still didn't feel inspired so we just went about our normal morning. By the time all the kids were in school and Jacob went down for nap, I was just plain discouraged. I didn't know what to do or where to go so I decided I deserved a downtime and watch some mindless tv. What catches my eye was 19 Kids and Counting. I haven't watched this show for a good year but today it sounded pleasant. Boy did it wake me up. By the time I finished watching my hour worth of tv, I knew my answer to my prayer.
If I try with all my might and do what my Father in Heaven has asked me to do, then I should see the blessings. This is my answer and I know I need to put it into action. It won't be easy but it will be worth it.
Wish me luck.
