When You Feel Like Tearing Your Hair Out :/

It's been more than a month since I posted anything! Good grief! Well, I'd better get busy then. What am I talking about? Patience.

The last half-hour in my house has been completely chaotic. Crying, shouting, LOUD barking... mainly it's just noise. And noise. AND NOISE. I'm practically the only non-noisy person in my family (well- besides my parents.) So the constant uproar- such as right now, when my sibilings are all shouting) really gets on my nerves.

What do I need?

Patience.

I read a story once in which an elderly man advised a mother, "Never pray for patience!" When she asked "Why ever not?" He responded, "Because the Lord will give you lots of trials so you can learn patience!"

So, that was my two bits of wisdom. Well, no. I have one more thing to say.

When you feel like tearing your hair out because of the din, PRAY asking to keep your temper.

Well, everything is settling down. Now, at least. They're all playing 'the quiet game.' So I'll go and.... tear my hair out. :)
