Grace Filled Discipline

So, I'm going to do the Write 31 challenge.  If you want to know more about it, head over to here.  I thought it would be fun and get me back to blogging regularly.  Plus, who doesn't like a challenge once in a while?
So, what is the challenge?  I'm to pick a topic and write a post about that topic each day during the month of October!  Fun, but also a little intimidating.......  My topic, what's it going to be?  There are so many things that I would like to write about, but the season of life I'm in right now, it seems appropriate to write something about children.
I've chosen to write about grace and discipline.  It's an area of my life that I feel challenged in (hmmmm, a writing challenge writing about a challenge in my life).  I desire to be a mom that extends grace to her children, even in times of discipline.  I want to be patient and kind and full of compassion.  I'm not always good at that.
Before I had children, I thought I was a pretty patient person, ready to extend grace to others.  However, children will teach you a thing or two.  They will especially show you those sin areas in your life, leaving gaping open exposed holes where you thought you had it together.
So, the writing challenge will also serve as a reminder to me to continue pressing forward to be the kind of mom I want to be.  These four young ladies that God has blessed me to call my own, the ones that are constantly leaving their footprints on my heart, I want to extend grace to them continuously.  You're welcome to join me on the next 31 days as I'll delve deeper into the area of grace and discipline....... grace filled discipline.
