February 23rd
I asked for God to take away my pain. God said, No,
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isnât
granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No.
I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my Spirit grow. God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make
you Fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said...
Ahhh.. finally you have an idea.
As you all probably know, I am a Christian gal. I know I am not perfect and you have probably seen me at my worst. But what was the point in Jesus dieing for our sins if we could be perfect? I know a lot of Christians judge others, but I don't. Do what you want, live how you want. It is your business not mine. If you ask me about God I will tell you how I feel. I will love you just as much as the Christain people. I am not ashamed of Him. God has been with me my whole life. I look back and see Him as I walked my path as a child. I learned fast because I noticed there was a higher power. I realized there was more to live for and there could be happiness.
I have walked away from God several times and found myself in deep poo because of it. You would think I would get a clue keep walking with Him.

What a lovely shot. Thanks for the read. I really enjoyed it.. Aloha, Renee :)
Nice shot sonifo I love this.....
I said a prayer for you today
and know God must have heard.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked Him to send treasures
of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that he'd be near you
at the start of each new day
to grant you health and blessings
and friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
in all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.
Wow how amazing is that photo! Is it available as a print? I'd love to have one thats for sure, with the words typed below with it down the side?
Soni - that's beautiful....both the photo and the write up.
Nicely said, Soni. It's a relationship, not a religion. Thanks for the good reminders.
Great shot, Soni. Very creative with the shadow, and a lovely write-up as well.
