" Dear Lord, please put your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth,"-Anonymous. This is the quote that I have chosen. Mostly because-as my Momma told just moments ago-it has me written all over it. To me this quote points out something I have struggled with all of my life,and will continue to do so for the remainder of it. I am constantly in trouble for being too loud.Though, honestly my parents should have thought about that before they gave me a name that literally meant loud. Seriously, I looked it up in the dictionary and under my name it actually said loud. Not only that, but I am forever cursed with the fact that I talk way to much,this includes arguing. My parents are always telling me that I could argue with a fence post. Once when I was seven I actually tryed it....but I ended up getting mad and yelling at it. To me this quote means that I will always need God for support, love, and sometimes....a hand over my mouth telling me that I just need to shut-up.Moreover to love me anyway, and help me with my babbling problem. Which I know he can and will because,no matter how big my mouth gets, or how high my temper flares, God's soothing hand will always be bigger...and filled with his love. So I know, that he will forever be by my side with his arm around my shoulder, and his hand over my mouth.

ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to your quote because my mom is always telling me to think before I open my mouth. I always just say whatever is on my mind and out it comes from my mouth. I think sometimes God needs to put his hand over my mouth, so I will have time to think before I speak.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing! I always say whats on my mind before I think about what the result will be after I say it! It is hard to keep my mouth shut when my mom and I argue, so I have to bite my tongue and let God put his hand over my trap!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how i am. I get in trouble, not because im bad, but because i can never stop talking. I have a bad habit of speaking my mind, so God has now been helping me keep my comments and thoughts to myself.
