That's REAL Life...

Its sudden it shifts, blowing my sanity to bits,
One day its “hit” the next moment, it’s a distinct “miss”;
That’s just life. 
And yet it never makes me think twice,
Because while sometimes it’s horrible, 
and if we are all honest it is,
I’m always going to gravitate to the blessing that simply living is.
I wake, I sleep, I eat, I think, I take, and I most certainly give,
I laugh, I cry, to certain things I die, because that’s what living is. 
As for the meaning of real:
I choose to reveal my humanity and accept my destiny as it unfolds
I choose to try, to fight, to fly, if that means gaining each possession my hands will hold
Whether destiny, crap, misery, anger, optimism, or strife
I choose really and maturely to embrace them all, because to me
That’s real life…

Crystal, thank you! Sometimes we have to simply stop and take a REAL look at reality, give it to God, and trust that he has it all under control…that's real life. Blessings and thank you for this post.

Mrs. Beam, I pray that as you take a real look at what life is for you, that God begin to invade your space changing and rearranging whatever He needs to and that you allow His presence to do so. I pray that the true unlimited potential you have be opened up. You ain't seen nothing yet!

Nice. That was excellent, so with that being said my prayer is Lord prepare me for the things you have in store. Also help me to learn from each lesson that you have strategically designed to teach me.

Dara, it is a comforting thing to be reminded that whatever I am facing or will face, God is in control. The hard part if getting rid of the any and all habits that we have developed that will make implementing his plan for our lives difficult. My prayer is Lord help me to align my character and habits in a way that allows them to be accomplices to your move in my life!
