Feeling Overwhelmed and Toddler Meltdowns

These last few days have been very trying for me. Normally my kids are very easy going. Even on days when they are cranky or just having a bad day. I'm not sure exactly what's been going on with my youngest son, Landon, but he has been all out of sorts the last few days and today when he had meltdown #9,000 I felt like I was at my breaking point. So, I just sat down on the couch, held him, and prayed for God's strength. I prayed God would take whatever pain or illness from Landon that was causing him to be so grouchy and down right mean. I prayed God would just give it to me instead, which I often pray when I know my boys aren't feeling so well. Finally this evening he settled down a lot. He was like a completely different kid. There were no meltdowns, no crying, and he ate a really good supper. I just handed it over to God and let Him take care of it while I did the only thing I knew to do. Hold my little love and pray.

Psalm 37:5
Commit everything you do to the Lord.
Trust him, and he will help you.


God Bless,
Emily
