		<description>Great post/thought!!

I mentioned on a recent post somewhere that I was too lazy to worry. Well, that is a partial truth. Not that any of it is a lie but that is not the whole story. 

I try very hard to not worry about even the smallest things and let God handle and my life as He sees fit. That means everything from a parking space (I am working on this one, I can not seem to find the &quot;perfectest&quot; spot anywhere I go) to life altering situations like buying a new house.

I also have to admit that I have had &quot;help&quot; in learning to do this. My father dies when I was 11 years old and I so very badly want him to come back. I asked for that every night for a long time. Then one day my mom and I move to Lubbock leaving the only ties to him that I had. As it turns out, we moved in across the street from the cutest little red haired girl I have ever known. We were eventually married and she has become the best thing to ever happen to me in my life.

So, I sat back and looked at my life and realized, much like the country song, sometimes the best things are unanswered prayers. While I thought that God was ignoring my desires for my dad to come back he was telling me all along to be patient and I would get an even better answer that what I wanted.  From that time on I realized to ask for things that I wanted but be happy if I did not get them because, chances are, something better is coming. 


 Wow, that went somewhere different. I think that came from your comments about seeing the whole picture.


Much like your time in the closet....you know what I mean, I picked up on one (other) major thing in your post.
 &quot;OUR SOURCE OF UNITY&quot;
I need to work on this. I have, since the afore mentioned death of my dad, been a &quot;loner&quot;. Yes, I am married bur no one get into certain places in my life....other than God, and I have resisted that at times. I know this is an issue for me so I am posting things on this, and other, blogs to see if it will help me in this area. 

So my prayer for this that I say every day is, &quot;Please let me open my heart to others more...a little.&quot;

And YES, it is THAT easy. Just look above and all of the stuff I have put here that most people would never get to know about me.

Thanks for being here!!
