This is something I've prayed about for a long time, and while I'm not who I was, I'm not who I'm supposed to be either. So I'll pray for you, and you pray for me! <br />Ramona D.rumytchrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725259236452452044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786295034484966716.post-38686972969400685772013-06-14T16:12:50.681-04:002013-06-14T16:12:50.681-04:00Thank you, Julie!

So much so, that future blogposts are brewing on this very topic, once I sort it out some more.<br /><br />I have 8 kids and I, too, didn't yell. Until....well, it's a long story. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog. I have actually been by here through a link on fb before and poked around. And you're sister to my amazing friend Aaron, so of course I will be back.<br /><br />I am praying for you, Dear One, and am in agreement with Aaron that you be kind to yourself and your beautiful heart. Take a hefty dose of Romans 8 along with those deep breaths.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03343619730997627901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786295034484966716.post-14701894618317490452013-06-14T07:55:41.297-04:002013-06-14T07:55:41.297-04:00You are 100 percent right when you say internal is...You are 100 percent right when you say internal issues show up in external behaviors. One of the primary reasons I wanted to work on not yelling is because I realized when I would yell at the kids it wasn't what they had done that was causing me to yell it was something else bothering me. One of the last times I yelled at one of the older boys I had a house guest whose behavior was REALLY bothering me. I took my frustration out on the boys in the form of yelling when I should have just confronted the house guest. I am NOT going to be that way. My sweet kids and husband deserve better. I'm praying and working on it and so far things are going very well. Olivia is really good at reminding me. :)Homegrown cozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708331294921948590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786295034484966716.post-91782139422479990352013-06-13T07:47:23.796-04:002013-06-13T07:47:23.796-04:00Just remember, my sweet sis, hold yourself to a st...Just remember, my sweet sis, hold yourself to a standard of grace, not perfection. Take time to be kind to you. Journal - sometimes its internal issues that show up in external behaviors. Take breaks. Call your sister. Eat chocolate. Be kind to my Stephy.<br /><br />Oh, and check out this new blog by a friend of mine: www.compostingtheheart.com She has read yours:) She definitely likes to keep it real too. Very encouraging to me. See what you think.

I hate yelling and it's time I stop it. Come on...take on the challenge with me! :) I would love to have other mamas doing it with me. The kids are really happy that I'm challenging myself in this way and they are all eager to see if I can do it.

I hate yelling, I listened to it too much growing up. I wish I could say I would take on this challenge, but I would fail. I can say something nice and calm a hundred times over and it is not until I resort to a yell that I am listened to. :( Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
