More Trust

If the world be taken from me
And all I have is dust
I will pray on my knees
I will pray for more trust

To know you are my father
And I am your child
You will never forsake me
I’ll never run wild

I will pray for more joy
I will pray for more love
I will pray for your grace
And more trust from above

Giving Advice

March 12, 2017Vonita 5 Comments

It’s so easy to have an opinion, and give advice on someone else’s life. People are generally filled with wisdom. I am filled with wisdom over my own life.

I know exactly what I should be doing, and how I should be doing it. What I should and should not be focusing on. What I should be feeling.

But hearts are rebellious. They follow their own set of rules. They want what they want, when they want it, and they generally want it right now.

I know I should not be jealous. Or envious. Or desire things I shouldn’t. Focus on things that are good and right and helpful.

And knowing all of these things makes it no easier to put into practice.

Random

So apparently, according to my teenage, and soon-to-be teenage offspring, their mother is generally weird, and does random things. Like dancing at a concert. And chatting to the stranger next to her. And taking selfies with both hands. Who does that? And she says random things. In general. Nice to see my kids both in mutual agreement over something.

And they haven’t even read their mother’s blog, or anything she writes in order to confirm their view. (And please may they never).

Yeah. Random. That would sum up their mother in one word, I would say.
