Keeping my mouth shut...

I feel a little emotional.  Some of those emotions are warranted, earned, and deserved, while other emotions I felt today seem to come from impatience and unforgiveness.

As a mother and wife I need to have the discernment of what are appropriate and acceptable emotions and ones that are harmful to relationships.

I spent some time alone in prayer in my bedroom; taking all that was in my heart before the Lord for Him to help me process them.

It is so important to take that time with the Lord before we lash out at those we love most. 

I spent the evening with my husband and children; laughing, crying, and snuggling.

A good night.

A little secret, just for women....no men.

Alright, no men.

This is private female talk.

I got my menstrual cycle yesterday.  I ran out of big pads, so I grabbed a baby diaper and used it at night, when flow is more.

It works great!  Now, I need to run to the store and get more woman pads, but at least I have something in case of an emergency!
