More Ramblings

Today's post is going to be some observations I've made. Also, my opinion on some things. I'll probably make someone mad, but I'm sure they'll continue reading anyway cause people who read blogs are nosy like that.

The world would be a better place without Niki Minaj and Lady Gaga. Ke$ha probably fits in the category as well.

Salty snacks just aren't as tasty without something sweet to go with them.
Bowl cuts aren't for females. I know this from personal experience. Actually, bowl cuts really aren't good for anyone.

Since the world is round, you could travel in a single direction infinitely.

Kids say the darndest things. Is that like...copyrighted or trademarked or something? I'm not sure. Props to Bill Cosby anyway.
 
My generation does little to inspire or encourage me about the future. That's a whole other post. Goodness.

My mom taught me how to cook. Also Rachael Ray and Alton Brown a little. Truth is, there are a lot of moms and a lot of daughters out there these days that can't cook worth a flip. What's wrong with you people? Feminism sucks. I'd rather be able to cook myself a big ole pot roast.

I always thought the phrase was "jerry-rigged". Turns out it can also be "jury-rigged". Who knew. English is boring though. If it were some exotic language, we would say something like "this is the work of one who cleans his hair with mud from his pigs back" instead of "someone jerry rigged this thing".  English is so uncreative.  I should learn a new language.

Blogging is awesome. And scary. It let's me write all my thoughts in one place, no matter how random or strange they are. The scary part is...well...all the things that are floating around in my brain. That's also the fun part cause people read about it and get a glimpse of what my day is like listening to my thoughts.

answered prayers

,

ignore all the errors please.bi attribute them to Nook glitches. So as I lay in bed last night I was thinking about how much God provided for my family this year. So many of my prayers were answered on a daily basis.


Then i got to thinking about all the people who have unanswered prayers. You know what i think? I think those people are praying for the wrong things. Maybe that is insenstige or whatever but that is how i feel.



I'M not saying you shouldn't pray for the things you want. Here is what I mean.

If you pray for more money or to get rich you will probably be miserable when it doean't happen. And it will put a damper on your faith. Instead pray for God to provide. He promises provision so your prayers are always answered and your faith will grow!

Instead of praying that God will change someone you dont like, ask for patience when dealing with that perwon. Ask for God to help you love them even when you dont like them. This prayer will change your attitude. Trust me. Also pray that God doewnt allow that person to have any power over you. These prayers will be answered much more desirably than praying to change the person.

Pray for your spouse to become the man or woman God designed them to be. Pray for God to help you recognize their good qualities and learn to love their flaws. Again, these prayere will be answered.

Every day my prayers are answered. It is amazing.

My husband loves his job and comes home safe.

My girls get good rest and wake up happy.

I enjoy doing housework. (Gasp! Its true).

I am slowly learning to love people i cannot stand.

I see God working in our lives. It is in the little things.

Another important part of prayers is giving thanks. I thank God for EVERYTHING. To the point of being ridiculous. Seriously. Thank him for your friends and family, food in the fridge, clothes in the closet a roof over your head, the car in the driveway and miney to put gas in it. Thank him that he gave you another day to enjoy. Thank him for things like running water and a water heater and your education. So many people lack all of these things. If you make a habit of thanking God for these things, you will stop taking them for granted. Life is great when you have a thankful spirit.

Anyway, my point is that God always provides. He is always giving to us andblessing us. We just have to learn to say please and thank you. Its all about your attitude.
