Have you even had a “Mirror Moment“? A time when God smote your heart into a puddle by lovingly placing a mirror smack dab in front of you face. An unforgettable instance when He gave you a glimpse of just how ugly and unnatural a specific sin was in your life?

At that moment I hated who I was. I despised the anger and wrath that ruled my heart. I knew I needed help and I cried out to the Lord for mercy, forgiveness, and a transformed heart. Thus began a painful yet loving journey to overcome rage and anger, and at the heart of it all selfishness.
Please join me here as I share a story about one way the Lord did/has/is transforming my heart. The story is titled ‘I asked for Patience. The Lord gave me children, three of them.
I once slapped my toddler in public.. only one of two times I ever did that. I was horrified! I’m trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge Blogs this month. My alphabet is at myqualityday.blogspot.com
Thank you for stopping by. Heading over to your site now : ) My lashing have always come in word form, but I think that can be just as bad as a slap!
I can remember the sinking feeling in my heart and in my stomach when I overreacted to my daughter when she was little.
In the past I have overreacted and regretted it. All you can do at that moment is apologize and make a huge effort not to do that again. And of course, forgive yourself.
Yes, forgiveness is critical. He forgives me, My daughter forgives me, I forgive me! : )
Awesome!
Thank you for taking the time to stop by Genie!
Excellent post. We have all done this. Oh to be able to turn the hands of the clock back even 5 minutes.
I love it how both my kids and my Savior forgets and we all can more on!
