Words of Encouragement

Miss Karen Mills, whom I find to be a very wise woman, told me something last week when I was venting my feelings of frustration with Jackson and his back talking and no-I-ain't-gonna-share attitude. I had told her that I thought we had whipped this area once before, and yet we are back in it full force and I was frustrated. She then said "well, I'm not sure that we (meaning her and I) have even yet reached perfection." BINGO!! What a sense of relief that I felt after she said that.

I won't give up in the battle of the terrible 2's, I'll keep pushing on towards the goal, but I still have to give Jackson grace because I myself have yet to reach perfection and as perfectly adorable as he looks to his mommy, Jackson was still born full of sin in his heart just as every other human being on this earth.

Thank you, Karen for a new perspective! I hope that encourages some of you other mom's that are struggling with the same problem day in and day out, I know it helped me a ton.
