lately it’s been so easy
for me to resent
people or circumstances
I grow bitter, cynical
I call it a mood
blame it on the food I ate
the sleep I didn’t get
blame it on hormones
or immaturity
the older I get the worse I seem to act
have I grown at all?
I know what I lack…thankfulness.
it sounds so trite to say
“count your blessings”
but have you ever tried it?
do you know how much it changes life?
will I ever learn?
will I stop grumbling long enough
to hear Your voice?
how can I possibly be like Christ
when this is who I am?

These words touch me in a very personal way. Thanks for posting this. Some days I feel (and act) very old but for the most part I think I’m stuck at 15.
Yes, it is Rahcel! She is going to take swimming lessons with the other children later on this summer. Danielle was swimming by the time she was 2 years old and we are working on Danae already. Danae loves the water and doesn’t mind it in her face and eyes.
