MY DAY TODAY

I had to go to the Photo ID place to get a new Drivers license today, I was only a few days late. I arrive, sit down, she says, "now smile real nice". So I smile, she shows me the picture, and it's not bad..not great, but it will do....
I leave the place and look at the new one, then look at the old one and suddenly it's as if the whole world just stopped.

Do you know what I saw?

I was...OLDER...I mean noticeably OLDER!!!

Then...

I saw...dare I say it...I was heavier! My face looked FATTER!

Why...

why must we wait so long between pictures? Why do we need them at all? Why oh why in the world do they make us take them so close to our BIRTHDAY?!!

I was depressed...

It lasted only for a moment. It was a beautiful day after all. I had lunch with a friend and got more PINK stuff and laughed so hard together!

I AM older after all...

There has been so much spiritual growth since the last picture was taken. God has done such a work in my heart. I have grown to love the Lord more deeply...

How can one be depressed...

When God above loves her SO MUCH!!!
