HOW HAVE YOU CHANGED?

I had the chance to look back over some of my writings from some years back. Actually close to about twenty years back. I was ashamed when reading them because almost every entry was some materialistic goal i was trying to meet. Its was trying to get a new car, a new house and actually shouting my disagreement with God for not letting it happen RIGHT THEN! Well, two things, I wasnt saved back then and I was in my twenties. And as out there in the world that I was back then, I noticed there was not one thing that I asked God for that he did not bless me with, even if it was a material goal. But what I needed to be asking for was salvation. It took another decade for that to happen, but he already knew that I was his anyway. I was predestined to be saved and do his will. Everything has an order and mine is not yours and yours is not mine, but God knows just the way he wants it to happen. I hope when I look at my writings twenty years from now, there is more humble and thankful prose. But thats my story. What is yours? Love to all , Joyce
