Confession: I Yell.

I have a confession.  I am a yeller.  I'm not proud of it AT ALL, but it's the truth.

I realize that the yelling has NEVER accomplished anything, other than guilt on my part and hurting ears and feelings on the kids' part.

So, I've been asking God to help me STOP it.  I had visions of Him just taking away all the things that frustrate me and tend to trigger my yelling.
  Like my life would suddenly look like Mary Poppins, and I would sing instead of yell. 

 I am a woman of faith and believe in BIG miracles, even for us BIG mouths.  :)

But, God had a different plan....instead of giving me a miracle He is giving me accountability. 

 I got caught red handed, or loud mouthed rather, TWICE last week.

One time, I was going OFF on a child that needed to be set straight, but did NOT need yelled at. 

 When I got done with my my RANT I realized my phone had "pocket called" someone.

  LORD HELP ME!!!!

Then, just a day later I was addressing an issue with another child and went OFF in my YELLING rage,

 and I realized I had company. 

 EMBARRASSING!!!

I know the Lord is being gracious and NOT letting me get away with this behavior anymore, and I sure hope I have some friends left by the time He is done answering this prayer and breaking me of my yelling.
