Words

So this morning, I did the unthinkable. Or at least it seems that way right now. I'm pretty sure I over stepped my boundry as a foster mom.

See, I told The Little Miss's mom to get it together. She called me up this morning with a long list of excuses and I basically said, suck it up honey. Not such a nice Monday morning attitude, I'm afraid.

I kind of just said, well, here's the thing. You're her mom. Her only mom. You HAVE TO do WHATEVER it takes to get her back if that's what you really want, to have her back.

I'm afraid that I simply had NO patience for her excuses. I had no sympathy.

Maybe it's ok. Maybe it was time someone said those things to her. Maybe in a week it'll all be the same thing over again. I don't know. We'll just have to see.

This past week or so words have been very powerful around my house. We've all been sucked into various books that tweak our minds and keep our attention. There have been all sorts of interesting situations and conversations happening around here that really just highlight the true power of words.

May God be in charge of my tongue at all times.
