Spoiled two year old

[foadle]

I have been having a pretty rough time of things recently one way and another. Most unfortunately I think was self inflicted. So when finally I brought the stuff to God (hold off sometimes) in essence (lovingly of course) God basically told me that I had been behaving like a spoiled two year old spiritually...and when I looked at all the evidence I had to admit that He was right. :o
So I picked myself up from the rap across the knuckles and thought ... well time to grow up. I am grateful for His love and grace that despite childish behaviour still shows love and grace and mercy. He really is such a good God.

Isn't it wonderful that our heavenly daddy can take us to the "woodshed"-and know that, those He loves He corrects?

been there, done that!

the 30's are a rough time for women, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Having said that, stick close to God and know that He does have a plan to get you thru these rough seas.

and don't forget, we're here to help too.

Thanks guys you really are a blessing

lol, recently my daughter so very *kindly* provided me with a few pictures of me in my 30's.

I would have been scared of me too!

I looked like a cross between a "deer in the headlights" and "The Wicked Witch of the West", complete with Albert Einstein hair on a good day!

that is funny...be even funnier if I didn't feel right there now

Yep, know what you mean. Like when I finally see my wrongdoing. It was there all the time, I just finally see it.

Thank God He does correct me! I'd hate to keep on going the wrong way! It's painful in the moment, but afterwards yields the fruit.

You're not alone, foadle.

yep, the 30's are when women learn how to juggle 6 things at once.

notice i did say 'learn'. there are a lot of dropped plates and balls along the way. the good news is by 40 you'll be a master at this.

Heck, I thought that only came with motherhood

Oh, yes, been there - still sometimes.

Yeah I think everyone at some stage probably has been just doesn't make you feel better when He says it directly to you and you can't point the finger if you know what I mean
