I read something the other day and it asks, "What goes up and never comes down?....Your age!!" It was in a joke book....but it is really depressing, by time you realize that your getting old, its too late to do some of the things you've never done. Me, for instance; my first car date, high school football games, concerts with your friends, meeting guys at the fair, etc. These are the little things i never had a chance to do as a teen, because i had a child of my own at 16. I try to tell my 14 year old the downside of having a baby at such a young age, it makes you an adult way before your time, and you just don't realize how much love and devotion it takes to raise a child, and its a shame i never realized that until my second child 10 years later. You miss out on so much as they're growing up, and don't even know it until its too late, by then they're already grown. i'm 30, he's already 14...in 2 years he will be half my age...and driving!...uhhh..
A human is supposed to live around 100 years, these kids are trying to grow up at 10 years old.....that leaves 90 years to be an adult....how boring!! Uhhhh!! I just don't get it. I never wanted to grow up....but i had too. What do they think is so great about being an adult?? yeah, you don't have a boss....well if your single you don't.....yes, you can sleep in....if you don't have a job, therefore no money!! but then you have bills, ...worries, bills, and ....more worries, responsibilities, which brings on wrinkles....and it doesn't stop.
I wonder...(i don't regret my kids by any means) but i just wonder what I would have been today if i hadn't went on that car ride 14 years ago, I probably would have been some snotty nose, stuck up, closet drug head with my own company somewhere....... I say that because my dad wanted to send me to etiquette school to teach me how to be a lady, and use the fancy silverware. .blah..blah..blah.....I would absolutly hate me!!!. i think my son had saved me from falling into the drug world like everyone i know...so i look at him as an angel.
As i watch our kids be normal kids, especially when they complain about not being able to do grown up things...I laugh inside, i love that they can't be adults yet, i want them to enjoy being a kid instead of running the streets looking for guidence and a peer. I always said, you'll see your accomplisments as a parent, as to what kind of adult they become.
Just a little note:
Our freedom and all of our rights may someday be taken away....but by golly they cannot take away our faith...i'm not just talking about religion...we have to have faith in ourselves, speak and think positive...and learn from the negative...."We work the miracles" by believing in something whole-heartedly!
We were taught, as kids, to pray for things the we want to see, have or what we want to turn out. So many prayers seem as though they go unanswered but God will only grant you what you see yourself worthy of. Imagination is a powerful thing. Everything we see that was built by man started in a mind first, a dream, or a desire. God is our father. If I wanted to give my child something they longed for and they turned their head in shame as though they were not worthy of it, it would break my heart. How would I know they really needed it if they didn’t ask for it or seen themselves worthy of having it? Turn to your father, ask for forgiveness, not just because you have done wrong but ask for forgiveness that you feel the shame inside, the regret, the missed opportunities that you gave up. Ask for forgiveness that you never had faith that God was leading you all long and you ignored the blessings because someone told you that you weren’t worthy. Know your worth and give thanks t...
