What is your relationship with God like?
Sometimes, I am really angry with Him. Sometimes, I am just fed with. Sometimes, I am sure he chooses to exercise selective hearing where my prayers concerned. Sometimes, I don't want to plead for any help because I have given up on his speed of response. There definitely are hiccups in our communication!! However, there are occasions when I am downright grateful to Him for every little thing in my life. Though, I do wish he could be more indulgent of me as a young child instead of treating me like an adult and letting me learn from my own struggles. I want to be pampered a little!! Hellooooooo! I hope you are listening. I don't want to be spoiled rotten by having every whim and fancy satisfied but it wouldn't do any harm to have a few WANTS met at the click of his fingers. He is strict parent with me. I have grown up stronger, wiser and kinder because of the way he has brought me up. I know that and I appreciate that. But just as a child thinks ,at times, I feel that others have a more understanding and nicer God who give in to their whims more often. So, its a complicated relationship between the two of us just as between any parent and child, till I decide to grow up.

What is your biggest weakness?
We all have our own particular devils to face.What might be my weakness might be your strenght or a matter so inconsequential that you hardly think about it. There is a long list of human weaknesses ( wealth,jealousy, anger etc) but one which afflicts majority of us is our children. We maybe the most happening and successful people on the face of this planet but when it comes to our children we are so vulnerable. We worry about their future, fret about their health, are concerned about their self esteem, keep an eagle eye on the kind of friends they cultivate, can't tolerate any third party criticism directed towards them, want them to achieve the best, we take pride in their in all their accomplishments from the the time they are toilet trained and see the progress in their lives as an indirect validation of our success ultimately. It is soo..... scary. At some point in time we have to learn to let go of our expectations for their future and the severe the psychological link through which we take vouyeuristic pride in their accomlishments. It is only then we can be begin to be their life coaches and train them to get up every time they fall, to persevere in giving their best and to become the kind of person that they are proud of as a human being.
