How many of us have said, "I can't wait until I grow up", or in other words "I can't wait until I get bigger".  My question is, is that all it really takes to be a grown up?  If you ask me, and I know no one did, my answer would be no.
   If you take a good look, I mean a really, really, really, good look at our society you would understand why I say no. Just take a look at TV, listen to the radio, or look at a magazine, seems like everywhere you turn things are going crazy.  If you have ever had an opportunity to be in the company of a child, or children, if they don't have their way some of them go out of it, or close to it,  so it takes the parent to teach them that they can't have everything that they want, and it takes some time to train them that, along with the other important lessons of life. Now have you ever been around a grown up that acts about as bad as a child?  I think that that's even worse than being around a child, just imagine if that nut was your boss or your husdand, and you depended on him to make just decision about you and your job or your relationship, this lack of ture maturity is everywhere you turn, it's almost scary, is anybody paying attention to this problem getting more and more out of hand, you have to watch everything you say, for fear that you will offend someone,  people taking people and things that don't belong to them, the list goes on, we say, "I can do whatever I want to I'm not hurting anyone", believe me your decision will effect someone, you see that is not very mature thinking, just because we're in a bigger frame does not mean we are mature, and relationships, it is sad to see and hear of the messes that two people can end up with because they did not look ahead or they made choices based on their feeling for the moment.  How much better off our world would be if everyone took the time to do what it takes to grow up, we blame everyone else for our problems, but some of our problems are our problems because we haven't grown up or because we've never been taught or given an example from our youth what a mature adult is, believe it or not it is not too late to grow up even if you are in an adult size body, we deal with so much from day to day, and it takes alot out of us.
I mention earliar about the parent teaching the child how to behave, I've been on a journey through the bible and in a relationship with my Heavenly Parent through Jesus Christ for the past several years now and have discovered  so many important things concerning life and what it takes to be a mature person and have a productive life. God teaches through his word how to live a life that's not just about us, he wants to give those that want it the power to live a disciplined life without being afraid that you'll be cheated, or miss out on something, he teaches you how to be the ultimate cool person. Jesus teaches you how to see yourself for who you really are and puts you on the road to becoming a true grown up, I  encourage everyone to take the time to grow up the right way through Jesus Christ, you won't be disappionted.  I always encourage people to get the Life Application Bible, it's one of the best .                    God Bless.
