She is almost 9

 With Raleigh finally sleeping in her own room, Breck finally unloaded on me. She had seemed down for a while. She said sometime I just feel God is mad at me. When I don’t read as much as I should or I get jealous of Stella’s friend (at the pool today). She said sometimes at the end of the day she remembers everything she wish she would have done differently. (Me too girl!) 

She said I wish I wasn’t so tall and bigger than everyone. She gave an example of how in the pool playing with Stella and her friend- she decided to play on her knees so she would feel like she fit in more. Then she would jump to- I just wish I wouldn’t get older- will all of us still be close when we are older?

 (I know how she feels- time goes way too fast and it’s hard to hold everyone and everything with open hands)

She said- tomorrow when Stella comes over can we learn how to journal and write our feelings- and you can show us how to replace them with truth? ( I explained that’s how you journal)

But I thought so often we as adults deal with these same thoughts.
