Remember when you prayed for the things you have today.
Don’t forget, not all things come easily.
You’ve come a long way baby.
It’s hard to appreciate what we have when we forget it wasn’t always there.
I’ve prayed to survive teen motherhood. Do what was best for my daughter, give her as many opportunities as I possibly could, all the while becoming the grown woman I thought I already was.
I made it.
More importantly, SHE made it.
I prayed for a career in law.
I was taken on a career path like no other. Twists and turns, 8 lane highways and one lane country dirt roads most of the time with no brakes or power steering.
What a ride it has been! And I’m still cruising right along.
I’ve prayed for the shape I had in high school.
I have that hour glass figure, however the sands of time have shifted and I’m ok with that.
I’ve prayed to have enough money for rent and food. The ability to keep me and my child warm and safe.
I was blessed with friends and room mates that were there for me.
10 for a dollar mac and cheese and pizzas not picked up where I worked.
Now I’m ashamed to say, I have a crisper where vegetables come to die. A fur baby that eats better than some children in the country.
I prayed for a soul mate.
I was given good men in my life. Each relationship made me who I am today. They gave me Life lessons, children, tears, heart break, love and friendship.
All of which prepared me for Troy.
Be careful what you pray for….
I only hope he was prepared for someone like me.
I’ve done a lot of praying in 50 plus years, not all were answered in the way I imagined, but all answers led me here.
Everyone that has touched my life is a result of prayer, directly or indirectly.
So pray.
To your God or Goddess, mother earth or the Universe.
They all are answered in time.
Just look around, some of the things around you started out as prayers.
