Was what my mom used to ALWAYS say to me. But really life isn't fair. Let me give you a few reasons why I'm feeling this at the moment:
1. My hair is frizzy & curly
2. I love Fl, but it's climate hates my frizzy & curly hair
3. I can never grow my nails out
4. My left eye can never seem to catch up to my right (I say this entirely with humor btw...I'm very confident about my eye) :)
5. I love heels yet I'm 5 ft 10 in shoeless...below sea level....at the bottom of the Grand Canyon
6. I love my name, yet people always call me Karen, Kara, Kathy, Kathryn, Kareese

Ok, so those were some serious, yet humorous reasons. Let me share with you some of my less humorous reasons as to why life is not fair for me:
1. I seem to always have a major stress/worth as an employee issue with whatever job I have. i.e. Social work & now I'm some political vendetta target
2. I'm away from all my really good girlfriends & have yet to even come a hair close to finding any up here.

3. My schedule is rarely actually based around my own schedule....it's around Paul's work or his seminary classes.
4. What I want to be when I grow up is a mom. Well, I'm grown up, but it's not yet time for that. What do in the mean time?
5. I'm not super outgoing & talkative & funny
6. I don't make friends really easy
7. You're not good enough for your job

8. Your'e not really good at anything....even dance anymore.
So...ya that got a little out of hand huh? Notice how it started out with "I" this or that, but progressed into "You're not" this or that?
Man, look at how easily Satan can influence how you feel based upon your thoughts. I seriously did not plan to write #4-8. I'm not saying that "Oooo Satan is controlling my fingers and making me type." But I AM saying that all the thoughts of why life's not fair do not come from God influencing me.

God has blessed me with SO much! Why is it so hard sometimes for me to remember this & to focus so much on why life's not "fair"? I know why, but it's incredibly maddening. Grr to my flesh & Grrr to the fact that I let my guard down so easily....spiritually.
I wanna kick that lion in the FACE that's always prowling around waiting to devour me. Thanks goodness God

Yes, that is hard! You are a strong woman. Strong and courageous to follow your husband to a city where you know nobody. I admire you for that!!
ReplyDeleteLife is hard. As Wesley says in the Princess Bride, "Life is pain, madam. Anyone saying otherwise is selling something."
I'll be praying for you - especially for #2 and #6 of the second list.
I know you wrote this some time ago but I figured we can always use some encouragement. Here is what I think you have that makes you "lucky" :)
ReplyDelete-Legs to DIE for.....OMG your legs are amazing...
-Your whole entire body is perfect and proportionate and awesome.
-God blessed you with boobies.....some of us weren't that lucky ha
-You were one of the most prettiest brides I have ever seen. Inside and out.
-Your husband waited and worked his tail off to have every part of you.
-Your husband is a cutie (Some girls have to settle for the dorks....that can't be fun)
-You and your husband have jobs that are stable.
-You are really good at writing
-You ARE really good at dancing.....better than most of the population.
-You ARE funny. You used to make me feel like I was going to pee my pants from laughing so hard!
-People who make freinds easy prob. don't have many true freinds.....I don't make freinds very easily anymore but I can honestly say the ones I do have are pricelees.
-You have two sisters that adore you.
-You have your health and the ability to have a baby.....whether you adopt or get prego.
-You're never ready for kids....I told Gav he'll have to give me a little "Surprise" or it will never happen hahaha.
-You have a place in heaven.
Most of all............you are you. Karis.....that is something to thank God for every day.
