What a waste.<BR/><BR/>I've come to the conclusion that I've spent too much time wishing and hoping that I could eventually join the ranks of child brides, and procreate a bucketful of children... even though in my heart of hearts, it wasn't everything I really wanted. And I know now it's not everything that the Lord wants for me either. <BR/><BR/>I truly believe some of us are saved for special reasons -and NOT because we're not "good enough," or because we still need to learn more and improve more and blah blah blah before we could be granted such blessings. We are not just here for ourselves. And the more time we waste trying to be a part of something that doesn't really fit us anyway... it's a recipe for depressive disaster.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, struck a chord. I've just had such an epiphany as of late. Heavenly Father didn't send all of us to Earth so we could be married by 19 and pregnant by 20.i i eeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965669520527591687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-6508982570262143432008-06-16T23:06:00.000-07:002008-06-16T23:06:00.000-07:00I can totally sympathize with you, all of my cousi...I can totally sympathize with you, all of my cousins are married with children and at family get togethers there are like a thousand kids. And my cousins mostly talk about their children and their homes and married life stuff and I feel supremely left out and wonder like what did I do "wrong" that my life is so different than theirs. But then I the same time sometimes I think it's nice not to have to deal with whiny kids. So there's your silver lining.Spinster in the City (SitC)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02019917908082552424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-16891974903802100192008-05-28T18:41:00.000-07:002008-05-28T18:41:00.000-07:00Owning a home is overrated so don't worry about th...Owning a home is overrated so don't worry about that. It's much more rewarding to invest your money or lack thereof in your education. Those people are probably drowning in debt now or will be very soon. I think you've done a fine job in your 20's. Don't worry, you've got your 30's to shape now. Don't look back!!!!! Look forward!

It made me sad thinking about you guys seeing Indiana Jones without me. I can't imagine Parker's glee at the when the camera focused on the hanger doors with a big 51 painted on them. So sorry about the birthday!Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620935129369892579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-86187562297952783692008-05-26T13:58:00.000-07:002008-05-26T13:58:00.000-07:00I never realized that about Memorial Day Weekend. ...I never realized that about Memorial Day Weekend. What I noticed was that all my friends (and now siblings) went out of town, so nobody showed up to my birthday parties.<BR/>Nevertheless, a bad holiday.Treat Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344667864298115067noreply@blogger.com
