Thank You for unanswered Prayers

9

It was all about you, nothing about our 5 children together or the child that you should feel responsible for being on drugs now. Or the 12 year old that you never even blinked as you walked out the door.

Your drugs, girlfriend, and freedom was more important than the wife and family that was down on their knees begging God to bring you home and get you help.

But Thsnk You God for unanswered prayers. He knew what we needed before we did. Thank you for telling me you didn’t know if you loved me anymore after 15 years, thank you for showing people exactly what and who you are including myself and our daughter.

Thank you for relieving the chaos, constant nonsense of never having peace, and it always being about you. Never having a constant home, vehicle, and stability in our life. Thank you for staying away from our daughter even tho you have missed out on an incredible young lady. Thank Jesus my older children had a father and grandparents that are good honest people who love my children. And Thank You Lord again you never let them give up on my children.


When the times I didn’t want to live with out you now I don’t want to live life with you. I know longer miss you, love you or care for you. With God’s help I see what and who you are and have always been. And I don’t want anyone to see me like that or in the likes of that especially our savior.

So thank you for giving Jesus the opportunity to give me peace, a great relationship with my children, and a love for myself that I can honesty say, Thank you Lord for unanswered Prayers and giving us a life that for the first time in 19years I can say God will answer your prayers, sometimes not the way we expect. But isn’t Jesus Christ great. Hes always on time and he always knows what you need.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
