Slow to Anger?

So... God is dealing with me because I have been so quick to snap at my babies lately. The Word convicts me of my sin without leaving place for my excuses.   It's so easy to blame stress, but the Lord expects more of me.  I am praying for His blessing as I repent and strive to put my quick temper behind me.
