Sometimes I wish...

Sometimes I wish that I was blond, blue-eyed and gorgeous
But then I remember that I'm a brown-haired, blue-eyed girl who is beautiful in God's eyes.

Sometimes I wish that I had a mac
But then I remember how blessed I am to have been able to buy my first laptop.

Sometimes I wish that I could write like Tolkien or Hale or Lewis
But then I remember that I can write like me, and I like that.

Sometimes I wish that I was more of a girly girl
But then I remember that I like just throwing on a t-shirt and some jeans and going through my day.

Sometimes I wish that I could draw better
But then I remember that I can, if I decide to practice.

Sometimes I wish that I had a DSLR camera
But then I remember when I didn't have a camera at all.

Sometimes I wish that I was smarter
But then I remember that however smart I am, it doesn't define me.
 
Sometimes I wish I could make a difference
But then I remember that the small things count

Sometimes I wish that I were a better athlete
But then I remember that I don't want to be an athlete when I grow up

Sometimes I wish I had photoshop CS5
But then I remember when I didn't even have an image-editing program.

Sometimes I wish that I had a deeper faith
But then I remember that it's a journey, and I can just keep following His path.

Sometimes I wish that I had nice nails
But then I remember that I don't care if they're painted or not.

Sometimes I wish that I was a health-freak
But then I remember that it's okay to like other foods.

Sometimes I wish that I was skinnier
But then I remember that my weight, too, does not define me.

Sometimes I wish that I knew more HTML and CSS
But then I remember how a few years ago, I knew none.

Sometimes I wish that I was more popular
But then I remember that I don't need any of those games if I've got Jesus.

Sometimes I wish that I was stronger
But then I remember that I'm still growing spiritually.

Sometimes I wish that I knew more about pop culture today
But then I remember that I don't really care.

Sometimes I wish that I was a different person
But then I remember that I was lovingly and uniquely created by the God of the universe.

Sometimes I wish...But then I remember.
