aren't you thankful?

i'm supposed to be writing a paper, but i had inspiration to write, so...here i am, writing.  

do you ever sit back and think about how your life was? do you ever think back over all the selfish prayers you've prayed? my past petitions to God have been pretty memorable, and as i reflect on graduating and moving, the last few days have brought these desires back to my mind.

i'm SO glad that God doesn't answer some prayers.  i'm so glad that He knows what is best for me--and doesn't let me decide.  i've prayed some pretty self-centered and stupid prayers.  and they weren't answered the way i would have liked. and it made me angry and confused at the time, but now....i'm really thankful.  

aren't you glad that He knows what is best for you?  even when it doesn't make sense? it makes me pretty thankful, as i think back and realize how crappy my life would be right now, if i got everything i wanted.
