Faithfulness

I feel awful because it has been one of those times in my life where things did not go my way...they never do and instead of viewing what has come into my life as a blessing, I just got frustrated. I was praying and praying and I felt that God was not listening to me. So, we went to church on Sunday and what do you know...ya, I felt bad after that one.

The pastor talked about Daniel and how Daniel always had faith that God would take care of him and not matter what went on in his life, Daniel prayed and prayed. He talked about how frustrating it was for Daniel to have God tell him of all the promises that He had in store for all his people and, even though Daniel prayed, he did not see a result. Kind of like how I felt. Don't you just hate that (but love it at the same time) when God is speaking directly to you about what is going on in your life. Well, this was like three weeks ago but it has been on my mind for quite a while.

So...I feel bad because I was sulking and just being plain pitiful...not looking back at what God has done in my life that I have prayed about constantly. He has always answered, not right away and sometimes right away. It humbles me and makes me so happy at the same time because I know that I am not in control, never will be. I am on His time.

I know, kind of a deep though today but it has been on my mind and I think that people should be reminded, especially with everything going on in our country right now. God is in control. Just keep praying and being faithful...He will never give us anything that we can't handle :)

Kids

So, I am kind of annoyed today. I was sitting at the BX (base exchange...kinda like a walmart) and this little girl, about 7 or 8, was talking to her parents. The dad starts to say somethings and the girl shushes him and continues to talk over him! I could not help to look at her mother who just rolled her eyes at her daughter's behavior. Then I looked away because I felt bad I was staring.

So, I don't get it?! I am 23 years old and steal have a healthy fear for my dad. I would never shush him or disrespect him in any way. It makes me sad that kids are getting worse and worse everyday. Is is just me or does anyone else notice this?

So, that's my though for the day....sorry Jaime, I will post more!!!
