When I was a kid I use to look up to my sisters allot. I always wanted to be like them. I still look up to my sisters but in a different way. I look up to them for their different personality's, their accomplishments and their wisdom, and other things. You say wisdom? Well I say that any one who has traveled longer on a road than you has some wisdom for you, and you can ALWAYS learn something new from just about anyone!
I guess there comes a time in your life when you have to grow up and move on from those things you did as a kid. "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Cor 13:11 (KJV)
I was known as the sarcastic, heartless, mean, little brat who was just not allot of fun to be around. I pray that I have moved on from that and have become and independent, stable, young woman who tries to just focus on making my family and God happy. Before I use to find happiness in being mean to people and trying to out wit them. Now when I see other people doing what I use to do and I cringe.
I work with allot of different age groups and so I see allot of different personality's. Some times I see kids talking down to older people just because they know how to do something and the other one does not. It makes me want to smack them to tell you the truth.
Our kids today are raised with NO and I mean NO respect for adults. I use to be one of those kids!
It takes allot of admittance to come to face the fact that life has to go on and you have to grow up sooner or later. I pray that I have grown up. Some times I feel that OLD MAN trying to creep its way back up in my life and the only thing I can do is pray that God smacks him down again.
The one thing that I can say is I was raised right! My parents taught me all the things I needed to know to face life. I may not have known it at the time but now that I look back on things I see.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it"
Prov 22:6 (KJV)
My parents did that for me and my other siblings and I pray that I can use what they taught me to teach my children.
Yes every one goes threw their little stages of life but we all have to come to face the fact that one day you have to get to doing what we were sent here to do. You can't go threw your life trying to think of something clever to say to some one if they tick you off, or lay awake at night thinking about how some one hurt you or your family.
God tells us to put the past in the past and even yesterday is the past!
There are things I still struggle with and I am trying to overcome and I pray that God will give me the grace to do so!
The thing is to recognize the problem and let God fix it! Because even if we don't admit it openly we know what our little problems are!
Hehe my family is probably saying, "She finally sees what we do" and they are right!
