I know what you mean. It’s encouraging to remember that much of our challenges are in part bumpy developmental stages that we navigate. This gives me hope to not be weary in well doing. Thanks for the feedback!

Boy, we are dealing with each and every one of these things, too. It’s encouraging to me today to see this list written out…by someone other than myself!

Thanks, Monica, for these thoughts. Not becoming weary in the obedience lessons is one way I can deliberately love my children. The world doesn’t see it this way, and doesn’t value the effort it takes. You are right that God promises fruit of well doing if we do not faint! Hurray!

I can relate to some but not all of these things, since Sloane is only a year and a half (I’m sure I’ll be seeing all of these soon, though). One that I certainly know is how Sloane will test how alert I am when she doesn’t obey. I know this can get tiresome, but I want to encourage you to keep at it; it will produce a great fruit in her. Something that keeps me focused is thinking about how God is consistent in pruning us, and it is really an act of love. While I may find it easy to love Sloane in other ways, like hugging her or reading to her, helping her obey is truly another form of love to her, but it isn’t always fun.
