Best times of your life.........

So some people I know where arguing that HIGH SCHOOL is the best years of your life.............I seriously think they are mentally ill. Nothing like living in the past. SICK. Maybe because my teen years and high school years were so awful I can't imagine. I was really messed up emotionally. But the older I get, the happier I get. I am absolutely full of joy. My life is FAR from easy. I have been sick for 4 years. I have lost THREE babies. Friends. The ability to work, my GOGOGOGOGO 24/7. I can't do it anymore. These people are also telling young teens that are struggling that this is the best time of their life. Had I believed that as a teen I would've considered suicide. SERIOUSLY! For some kids teen years are just awful they get through them they get to college and life and BLOSSOM. Just validate that yes you feel awful. Yes it is awful. You can do this you will get through it there are people that love you, you can talk to me anytime and I'll just listen. Don't tell them this is the best years of their lives. Goodness.

Compassion

Watching Oprah '23 yrs later' about AIDS and a gay man in 1987. SOME things have changed, LIFE expectancy for one: YES! Some have not: People are still mean and cruel. What happened to compassion. You don't have to be pro-gay to have compassion, be kind. What is wrong with people. UGH.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse HOT DOG Song

Part of my EVERYDAY singing with Elijah!

Do they see Jesus in Me

Is the face that I see in the mirror
the one I want others to see
Do I show in the way that I walk in my life
The love that You've given to me
My heart's desire is to be like You
In all that I do, all I am

Do they see Jesus In Me
Do they recognize Your face
Do I communicate Your love, and Your grace
Do I reflect who You are
In the way I choose to be
Do they see Jesus In Me

It's amazing that you'd ever use me
But use me the way You will
Help me to hold out a heart of
compassionate grace
A heart that You're spirit fills
May I show forgiveness and mercy
The same way You've shown it to me

Now I want to show all the world who You are
The reason I live and breathe
So You'll be the One that they see
When they see me
