I remember a particular annoying phase my kids went through when they were young - pouring water on the floor. They would go over to the refrigerator dispenser (at the time, ours didn't lock), fill a cup and pour it on the floor. About two weeks later when I was at the end of my rope, the phase just ended. I always remind myself that most aggravating phases last no more than two weeks.
Of course, my children are older now, but I still think that the roller coaster of hormones and emotions follows a similar pattern. About when I think, "I just can't do this anymore!!!", the course will change and our relationships and behaviors as a family improve. God is good!
"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13
