OMG

Why this picture? Because it made me smile.  Because I take my happiness where I can find it I tend to find it more offen BUT OMG....

Life is just passing by so fast nowadays.  I often wonder if this is the case for the younger generations.  I mean, does life seem to pass slowly as it did for me when I played out in the woods as a child?  Days seemed to go on forever for me and the next day would hold even more treasures than the last.  Kids today have to have extra activities and new math.  Having all the best clothes have given way to the latest phones.  It's hard to keep up with everything.  

My only prayer I pray to my God is thank you.  If I were a kid today I don't know if I could make it in this time of youth.  Arielle comes home stressed and struggles with math but she still pulls in a high B to her straight A lineup.  She just gets all the other subjects but Math is a mystery.  I am thankful for her diligence and I'm thankful for being old.  I had a good youth for the most part. I forgive those that I needed to and I love those who helped me feel accepted.

I do pray for my little girl but that is the only asking I ever really do.  I know well that I am the only one in God's way for me to be getting the things in life I truly desire.  I know that being out of work now is the gift that I have wanted from God because I was stressed out and unhappy.  Now I get to write a new chapter.  I basically know that the hard times are only hard because I don't see God's plan for me as he does.  I am thankful for all the lessons life has thrown on me because I have been highly impatient.  I no longer pray for patience because that is a lesson God graciously deals out like hotcakes at IHOP.  I know now more than ever that life is short and I have a lot of living to do.  "Thank you, God" is the only pray we really need.
