God Said No...

I asked God to take away my habit.
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 isn't 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...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

Hey what's up? Sounds like something rough is going on, but I know you'll get through it. By the way you have the most hideous picture of me that I have ever seen on here. Makes me wanna cry just looking at it. WEll that's it for now. Keep your head up.

Love,
Nas

Because I love you dearly I have deleted that post and the pictures. I did not realize you really didn't like the way you looked in it. You guys are always beautiful to me!! But I understand how it feels to have people looking at a picture of yourself you hate.

Hugs & Kisses

This is an awesome post!! I love it. Glad to see you are still on here posting. I am ashamed to say that I have not kept up my blog (no excuses) but I've kind of been busy. Anyway, just thought I would drop by and see how you are doing.
