Things I've learned this year so far, and things God teaches me again and again... and the year's only half over. Oh my...
*When you are having problems with your foot hurting, don't waste time. Go to the Dr right away. Time wasted means it will take more time to get well.
*Laugh every chance you get. And feel free to laugh at yourself. It makes life easier to bare.
*Tell people they are important to you. And when you miss them, let them know. And never ever let them walk away without letting them know you love them. Sometimes you never get the moment back...
*Follow God, even if it doesn't make sense at the time, even when its hard, and even if others are questioning why you are doing what you are doing. He has a reason. It may hurt, but He will prove Himself faithful. And it is so worth it!
*Close friends can sometimes do unexpected things, and sometimes hurt you beyond belief. Your heart still loves them though, no matter what...
*Never give up on people you love. Even when you are apart for a time, you never know when God will bring them back around.
*God is all He promises to be and so much more, even in the hardest times. Don't lose hope, even in the darkest days.
*Facebook is an awesome way to stay close to people, reconnect with people, and make new friends that mean the world to you.
*Working with children is the very best therapy when life is rough. (so is Relient K, but that's besides the point haha)
*Go ahead and invest in really good shoes. Its worth the price. Sadly, Toms and flip flops are bad for aging feet. Chaco's are the best shoes in the world!
*Apparently, God can use me and my blog. I had no idea that I could write. I can barely complete a sentence when I talk! I can so relate to Moses... I am positive there are people far more qualified than me. But apparently God doesn't think so. Very humbling.
*Never say never. It seems as sure as you do, God has a good laugh and makes you eat those words. ;)
*Embrace each and every opportunity that God sends you to spend time with people. Enjoy every moment He gives you with friends.
*Turn off your phone, computer, TV or whatever might be a distraction, and stay in the moment with those around you. Learn to listen (something I am working on constantly!).
*Be open. Be vulnerable. You never know who needs to know that you've been where they are, and that you understand, and care.
*Live every day like its your last. Love with your whole heart. Value your friends. Hold your family close. Gather wisdom every where you can. And most importantly, love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul. We are created for Him. And life really is all about Him.
Love you all!
