*sigh*
So I finally saw The Notebook for the fist time Monday night. Oh my. *sigh* That movie just makes you want to be in love!!! It is sooooooo cute. And I want to be like that girl (Ally) with a guy just like Noah. lol. I feel like I'm getting old too fast and I'm not going to be able to enjoy a youthful "love." So maybe it's not my time. Whatever.
Anyway...I was looking through different journals and I passed someone's with this poem. It's about Job and how he thanked God for the hardships he went through. I need to be more like this.
All the Things You Never Did
You never gave me all I wanted,
In fact most times I just went without.
Just because You thought I’d be better off this way.
You never let me have revenge,
When my angry heart cried for blood
You gave the order to just stand down.
You never let me hide from guilt,
Though sometimes no one knew
And they’d never found out- if it wasn’t for You.
You never let me escape a goodbye,
Even when I didn’t desire doing so...
You forced me to accept my loss.
You never kept me from being taken in.
Lucifer’s tricked me so many times,
And You forced me to figure it out on my own.
You never spared my feelings from pain.
I couldn’t count how many times I’ve cried
And You didn’t wipe away my tears.
You never let me be perfect,
And when I was almost convinced of my infallibility,
You let me fall.
You never did so many things,
That I always expected you to do...
You forced me to learn things on my own.
And for that...
I thank You.
-Job.
