In a season of transition,
I know the response of my flesh is panic, clinging to what is familiar with my fingernails.
I get angry
and lash out
and feel the tears rising--
which is why this response shouldn't surprise me in my teen.
It came to me yesterday in a moment of conflict that I need this infusion of gratitude
because I need to model something different
than what I have taught in my weakness.
I want my children to respond in thanks to the myriad of graces.
So must I.

Seasons of change are never easy. Praying God will make Himself very evident in this one for you.
