Thank you so much for this insight Andrea! I think I need to write it on my hand or something so I will be reminded of it frequently.<BR/><BR/>My problem is indeed that I do want to be "in control" rather than "in charge" and I get annoyed when the children rebel. This is the same frustration that James said leads to anger. Once again I need to keep my mind on the smaller job God has given me rather try to take than His job - being the Sovereign Lord over all.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your prayers, Mrs Edwards. I do appreciate them.<BR/><BR/>~ SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071911265430519926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562326053379517826.post-80872181516541884682008-06-06T22:52:00.000+08:002008-06-06T22:52:00.000+08:00Awww...*hugs*I know just exactly how you feel - RE...Awww...*hugs*<BR/>I know just exactly how you feel - REALLY. We are just now getting to the point where we can take our 5yo dd out again. And now the 2yo is following her lead. We don't take him anywhere. We never experienced this behavior with the 1st one so it has been a heavy burden for us to deal with, knowing that it is a heart/training issue.<BR/><BR/>You did the right thing at the store and with singing at home. Do not fret about the noise they make at the store or the screaming - the Lord will give you strength to endure these times and wisdom to train in times of peace. <BR/>Also, the opinion of others (those giving you the 'looks' in the shop, etc.) is no matter - your child rearing is between you and the Lord. Others may not understand but you need to remember that you are not in 'control' of them but in 'charge' of training them.<BR/>God will get you through this phase and will grow you AND the child in the process!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>AndreaAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515461667570309152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562326053379517826.post-71956939713667166042008-06-06T20:34:00.000+08:002008-06-06T20:34:00.000+08:00I'm experiencing similar frustrations with my two-...I'm experiencing similar frustrations with my two-year-old. Somehow, it is a more difficult time for me than when the others were two. Perhaps because now I have three older children. Yesterday at the library, said two-year-old just went "limp noodle" and plopped down on the floor refusing to walk. He obviously knew that the usual disciplinary choices weren't at my disposal...<BR/><BR/>I'm praying for you.Mrs. Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164426014157039784noreply@blogger.com
