Faith of a child

This is something I wrote down a few days ago just hadn't got a chance to post it yet.

When cleaning up and finding old pictures in boxes it made me think back to the days of being a little kid. I mean I know I'm not that old but I am past my childhood. It made me think back to the days when instead of worrying about my next job move, or next bill i need to pay, the next life step that needs to be taken i was just playing in my room with food and clothes always provided. My biggest concern was how long could I put off doing my homework or chores before getting into trouble. Biggest issues where the trouble I got into for sneaking into sisters room, sneaking a desert between meals or watching a TV show I was told not too. All of these seem so simple and make me long for and miss the times when really tough decisions and hard issues were taken care of for me.
Looking at these pictures simply reminded me that even though I'm an adult and the situations are different I'm still need help and I'm not on my own. I don't having to take care of everything on my own, because there is someone who will help me figure out where I'm going next and how to pay my next rent or car payment.
Life isn't as simple as it was when I was a child, but it doesn't have to be more stressful. As long as I lean on God and give him my troubles I can still have the faith and peaceful life I had when I was a child, because just like my parents guided me and provided for me when i was a helpless child, my God is there to take care of me when I'm on my own but still like a child in need of help.
