Politics vs. God?...
is this really what our country has come to?... Obama?... i was reading just a few of peoples different opinions about this years election and it scares me, it'd scare anyone to actually see in black and white what people are thinking, the thing is....everyone is thinking black and white again, everyone isn't thinking what's best for our country as a whole, but what's best for "their people" like we're all in different worlds with our different races. We'll just have to trust that God will lead our country now. I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and making their own decisions, like i talked about last night, but with every decision comes consequences. good luck dealing with the consequences.

when simple puzzles become life's problems
I've thought so many times, how come words and thoughts come so easily when trying to solve others problems they may have, but then once I have a problem of my own I just get confused and life comes crashing down because I can't figure out how to solve my own problems?
I'm sure my friends have thought so many times..."britney, don't come to me with your problems, you know how to solve it yourself" Seriously, how many of us have said something to a loved one to dry a tear, but then a week later we're crying to them about our problems, they say the same thing and use our own advice back on us and it seems to work, wouldn't it have been easier to just take our own advice in the first place and saved the tears?
Well I finally found an analogy to my first question...cause I'm a huge analogy person :) Have you ever played a game on the computer and gotten stumped? it seems like it's taking you forever to find the next match or next move as to where to go, you think the game has to be over but the computer says otherwise. then your annoying sibling comes up behind you, stands there for maybe 3 seconds and has already found 5 different moves and solved the puzzle or finished the game for you. why is that? you looked forever right? you were staring right at it for the past 5 minutes....
It's just like our lives and the decisions we make. sometimes it's easy to solve others problems and you may wish...man if I could just have as easy of problems as them life would be a piece of cake, the thing is, life is a piece of cake you're staring all of your answers in the face, it just takes a little longer to find them because you're so involved with everything else around you and so focused on all the wrong answers, that you're not taking the time to take a step back and realize how easily the right ones pop out.
I know it's easier to see things from the outside then when you're on the inside, just like a maze, they can take forever to get through when you're actually inside them, but on a piece of paper it takes no more than 1 or 2 minutes.
So my challenge to myself and to everyone else is to take a step back and analyze your life, think through your problems with all different perspectives and remember that you always have people who love and care about you, and no they can't always be there to solve your problems or hold your hand but there's always someone to lend a helping hand or offer a shoulder to cry on. So sometimes that "annoying sibling" can come in handy. we have our friends and family to help us with our problems and help us solve our puzzles but we have to solve most of them first.
