What goes around.....(soapbox time)

I've always been a believer in "what goes around comes around", "when one door closes, another one opens", "Karma"and "God has a purpose / life plan for everyone".

Don't get me wrong, I don't think that life "just happens". You're not "fated" to have a certain life...the choices you make steer you in a certain direction. We have free will to choose to do good or bad things and suffer the consequences. That's where the "Karma's a B%$#h" comes in. :)

I do wonder how some people seem to be hell bent on doing underhanded things and never seem to suffer consequences for their actions. Some would say that once that person's time here on earth is over...that's when they answer for what they have done...judgement at the pearly gates. I try not to be judgmental but when it directly affects my family...well, you don't mess with my family.

Lately I've been wondering about our "plan". Things always seem to work out for us in the end but sometimes I just gotta question the big man upstairs. It's a little more frustrating when it takes months or even years for us to reach the destination (for the time being). And I know that the journey is part of the learning experience, blah, blah, blah...these days I'm just more of an instant gratification kind of person. It was much easier to roll with the punches when I was single...when you have a husband and child, you're not (can't be) as flexible. So I find myself praying A LOT these days, trying to find some guidance.

This is generally how our one-sided conversations go:

Me: Um, I know you have a plan and all but can you give me a timeline on when to expect a change in our current situation?

God: (no answer)

Me: I'm sure you know what you're doing so I'll just go with it...but send me a sign or SOMETHING.

God: (no answer)

Me: Um, o.k. Get back to me when you can.

I know the Big Guy knows what he's doing and I'm o.k. with that! Just impatient.

I'm sure anyone in our family that reads this is thinking, "oh my gosh! what is going on with them?!" But don't worry! We're fine. Just frustrated that we have to deal with Jackholes...guess that's one of God's character building exercises he throws at us. :D

Looking forward to our Spring Break trip with Little Man and having some quality family time together. :)
