And it's interesting because a lot of the time, God actually does want to give us our dreams (not always, but sometimes), but He hates when we make those things idols.

What I do know, is I did, I have grown and I'm not looking back. I still struggle. And now I see my son struggling with anger. So we pray, we read the Bible and we talk about it.

I blamed God for a lot that has happened in my past, but I realize it wasn't all Gods doing. There were ways out and to follow him, but sometimes I make the wrong decision.
