Please believe me, God ALWAYS has our best interest at heart..and that is where faith is so important..because there are times I am so sure my way is best..and then thank God over and over for not doing it my way..what a mess I would have been in if He had..LOL

He does have our best interest.....even if it's now always what we want! I can remember verbally saying outloud..."What is the point of talking to you...if you're not listening to me?" and then BOOM....he answers my prayers...in a way I never thought my direction should go....and its such a better decision than the one I wanted! And then I feel ashamed! If he could...he'd send me to my room to think about what I've said to him! lol
