Spoiled Brat

Lately someone in my home has been throwing fits, whining, kicking the air, yelling, talking back, speaking to others hatefully, and being an all around spoiled brat. Unfortunately, I have to name a name. The spoiled brat at my house is me. I have so many excuses. I'm tired, my stomach hurts, I'm hungry, I didn't get enough "me" time today... Stop the excuses. I need to check my heart. What's my motivation? To have well behaved kids? To get my way? To control my husband? Nope. Today (and hopefully everyday) my motivation is to glorify the One who gives me life and grace. So, I'm gonna stop kicking the air and start preaching the gospel to myself. (And hopefully my 5 year old will stop throwing fits! She's been watching her momma too much! Nothing like having a little walking, talking mirror following me around all day!)
