Reaction

Gosh I have so much to write about, but for now- just a little

How you react when things don't go your way creates who you are day by day.

That is definitely my quote of the moment. I just have to look back on things that haven't gone my way before and realize how much of a blessing they actually turned out to be.

For instance- it took me 3 times to win Miss Murray, and I'm so glad that it did. There's no way I would've been able to help as many people as I have if I'd won my 1st or even my 2nd time. I can only be grateful to my Heavenly Father for unanswered prayers.



Garth Brooks- Unanswered Prayers
Thanks Alex for the song idea :D

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

CHORUS:
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

CHORUS

Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
