Be Careful What U Pray For

Be Careful What U Pray For
Posted By: Tressia Amacher on February 19, 2011


Breezy (my niece): "I prayed to God to send me my mate. I wrote down everything I wanted in him - down to his looks and I said the next man I date let it be my husband. Don't let me date a man if he's not my husband. And what do u know? I've been married 10yrs this November."


Me: "I remember once upon a time, I prayed prayed & PRAYED for a hubby, right, Breezy? Well, heah come Jethro, bout a hunert seventeen, bent over, crippled, smelling like Bengay.



So, I got BACK down on my knees and I prayed AGAIN. Forgive me, Lord, ...I didn't make myself real clear 'afore'. Yes, I know, I did ask you for a mate, but you don sunt the wrong person to me, I b'lieve. So, I'm gon be real 'specificate' this time. I'm respectfully 'specificating' that you keep all the Jethros. PLEASE, Lord. I don't want a hunert seventeen, bent over, crippled, smelling like Bengay NUTHIN'.



'Thank you, Lord, for understanding. AMEN'
