The Day of My Birth.
Sunday, February 11, 2007 12:50 PM
sixteen isnt that different.
your right, birthdays are a disappointment...sometimes.

i remember when i was little the night before my birthday i would lie away in my bed, unable to sleep. i would dream of tomorrow. i would pray things would change. i suppose i had some childish dream that when i woke up, everything would be different.

last night, i found myself repeating the same tradition.
i would wake up, and last year would be behind me.
i would wake up, and suddenly, i could trust again.
i would wake up, and my family would be back together.
i would wake up, and i would be a beautiful princess.

the fact of the matter is.
i woke up, and last year was, in fact, behind me but that doesnt mean i put it there.
i woke up, and my trust is still dwindling.
i woke up, and i remembered it is all like this for a reason.

(dont get me wrong, i had a wonderful birthday and im never going to take my blessings for granted. i am blessed. blessed with more than i deserve.)

i like change.
i live for unchanging things.
what a mess i am.

the world is constantly changing around me.
people are constantly changing.
i am constantly changing.

change is good. change is new.
but i cant trust it.

heres the simplicity of it all,
i can only trust God.
He is the only unchanging thing in my life.
Hes the only one i can trust to always be there.

i should be so hard on people, they are only human.
they are sinners.
so am i.

the end.
