In my life, prayer has been something I have usually preserved between God and me. Like many who believe in prayer, I’ve asked for help in my weakest or most fearful moments and in handling personal issues and the health of loved ones, friends and myself. I request assistance on matters that I feel I can’t handle alone, things I haven’t said to anyone, but in my prayers. I’ve certainly asked for forgiveness for any wrongdoings I may have committed. I talk to Him about world events that trouble me as I’m sure many others do as well. A relationship with the Lord is very personal. One thing I’ve tried to remain mindful of when talking with Him is to say “thank you” for my many blessings. Prayer shouldn’t be onesided and a “what can you do for me?” request all the time. And I try to remember that a prayer left unanswered is an answer and is a part of His plan for me.

Any day now it is going to happen...it may be at my house, here at work or at a friend’s house but my hairs is beginning to “bug” me and I’ll probably give myself a haircut... on the spur of the moment. That’s one thing my family could never break me from and believe me, they tried every lawful method from spankings, shaming, teasing, refusing to take me any place with them and all that sort of thing. Nothing worked, next time my hair got in the way or next time I slept on it wrong and it would be wild the next morning, I would just cut off everything that wouldn’t lay down. I’ve never had pretty hair and never expect to but that is the least of my worries, so long as it is clean, off my neck and out of my eyes.
