Where's a star when I need one?

 

Sometimes I wish I could trade places with my friends.

Then I look back at old family photos....and realize I belong with my family.

Sometimes I wish I had lived in the 1800's.

Then I consider my iPod and my computer.....and realize belong in this time.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Ireland.

Then I remember how proud I am to be an American....and realize I belong here.

Sometimes I wish I went to public school.

Then I think about all the things I've learned here.....and realize I belong at home.

Sometimes I wish I lived on a really pretty farm with no neighbors.

Then I gaze out my window at all my laughing neighbors.....and realize I belong in my neighborhood.

Sometimes I wish I was an only child.

Then I remember all the good times with my brothers......and realize they belong with me.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have freckles.

Then I get compliments on them......and realize they belong on my face.

Sometimes I wish I were a famous actress.

Then I consider all the problems they go through.....and realize I belong here at my desk.

Sometimes I wish I had a boyfriend.
Then I remember that God already has a guy picked out for me......and realize my heart belongs to him.

Sometimes I wish my family had more money.
Then I think about all the people who don't have money.....and realize how fortunate we are.

I get these thoughts all the time. But I think I am starting to {finally} realize that God has a plan and a purpose and a will for me......and I belong right here. (:
