I used to think it happened all at once.
One day you're a kid.
You laugh.
You cry.
You say the wrong thing.
And then you grow up.
But meeting with Pastor was tough.
And Mom's having surgery.
And today I found out that Boss was trying to fire me.
And I wanted to cry again.
To say the wrong thing.
It was hard to smile and say
"I'd like to just move on, thanks.
I want to do what's best for us both."
But I know I grew up a little bit more today.

The Walk,
Will be praying for you, sister!
I really like your poem.
Even we believers get lost sometimes, for sure. And good point on growth. Through hard times is when it seems to occur the most.
Thanks for your prayers.
thanks for the comment on my blog...i have a hard time remembering to get back. i am sorry you are going through a hard time with work circumstances. God has plans for you.
about the blogging or not blogging...i have always wondered about it too. i am trying to find a balance with it. everything has potential of being either bad or good depending on how it is used or thought of. i sometimes think that i have a tendency to spend too much time in blogville and so it starts to become something that can get in the way of other things in my life that could need attention. so there is where i need pay attention.
The Walk,
It sounds like a birthday just happened or is about to happen.
I have changed careers three times and been fired five times. Generally evrything got me closer to where God wants me.
I also struggle with the blog balance,
You are in my prayers.
The Walk,
Come over and check out my first posting from L.L.'s new book which I think you would like. Posted today.
The Walk,
I am praying for you.
I pray that God's richest blessing will pour over your life in every aspect: family, job, and all the other things that need to take place. Remember God joins us on the ash heap when we suffer. He is suffering with you and understands your pain. So, please turn all things over to Him. Surrender everything. When you do that God can really work in your life.
If you have time I would love for you to stop by and leave an encouraging comment for a family who is suffering in unimaginable ways. Please. It would mean so much to them.
I love your blog and frequent as much as possible. I like it because it makes you think, it lets us know who God is and that he does want us to WALK with Him.
Hang in there!
In Him,

The Walk,
I came across your blog from another and I am interesed in where you came up with the name "The Walk". It may be too personal, but just wondered.
Sometimes in situations like you have spoken, we are forced to grow up faster than we would like. Her's praying you are having brighter days.
Hope you're doing alright, The Walk.
You are still in my prayers and hope all is going well with you.
May God's richest and glorious blessings fall upon your life!
Kinney Mabry
