I wish I didn’t work so hard at keeping people from seeing my warts, mistakes, meltdowns, and other personal catastrophes.<\/p>\n

I wish I was a better friend.<\/p>\n

I wish there were easier answers to the problems out there.<\/p>\n

I wish grace was a more consistent part of my life.<\/p>\n

I wish I wasn’t such a coward.<\/p>\n

I wish I could figure out how to find a deeper sense of connection.  And contentment.  And confidence.<\/p>\n

I wish Megan didn’t always ignore the 20 toys she can play with to find the ONE toy on the floor that she’s not supposed to have. <\/p>\n

I wish I was better with the details.  Especially where house cleaning comes in.<\/p>\n

I wish I had more time to read or knit or swing.  Or maybe I wish I took more time to do those things.<\/p>\n

I wish I could bottle up my kids’ laughter.<\/p>\n

I wish that I would learn to take more time to pray.<\/p>\n

I wish I knew how to love my husband.<\/p>\n

I wish the laundry would do itself.<\/p>\n

I wish I would learn to be less critical, in thought and in word.<\/p>\n

I wish I could figure out what real obedience looks like.<\/p>\n

I wish I could play the piano.<\/p>\n

I wish I had a better sense of my purpose.<\/p>\n

I wish I was better at telling the people I love how much they mean to me.  <\/p>\n

I wish I looked a lot more like Jesus than I do right now.  (Hey…at least this last one is a wish that will come true someday!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
