A Handle on Life?

Sometimes I feel I am a bit like this:
Helpless, blind, pacifier in the mouth
(read all the things that make me feel good and lull me into lethargy)
with not a clue
about what I'm supposed to be doing in life.
As if I'm dressed in grown-up clothes
but the clothes are too big,
exposing me as a fraud;

a kid masquerading as an adult.

****
This is for any who feel inadequate.
You never feel as though you have arrived.
You never feel as though you have a handle on everything.

You just do the best you can:

And remember Rule #6
that is:
Never take yourself too seriously.
And life CAN feel like this:
Its enormously comforting to know that there is Someone who does know all the answers
and carries us if we want Him to:

Loved this becoz I identify so with it. Sometimes I just want to hide away from life and the responsibilities that come with being married, a parent, a big sister, an aunt, a friend, a homemaker etc etc etc!
