It's been a whirlwind of a week here at home. Fall break seemed exciting enough, but it brought some unexpected changes and unexpected loss.
I have learned (and relearned) a lot this week. Please indulge me...
1. Sometimes God clearly leads you in a direction that doesn't make sense. Follow Him, whether you understand, or not. He has a purpose.
2. Love all that He brings in your life. Love them without reserve. Love them for who they are.
3. Laugh... a lot...find humor in the situation, if at all possible.
4. Forgive.
5. Chocolate Ice Cream stains perfectly good T shirts.
6. When God calls you to pray for someone, do it. Pray fervently and don't let up until God releases you.
7. Tell old friends that you still love them. Reminisce about the good ole days. Remember all the good times together. You just never know what the next day will hold.
8. Hamsters are fun pets. But, I never want another one!
9. Some situations God has me in are not about me. They are about God and others. He has a purpose. And He is using me to get there. Try to view those situations through His eyes.
10. I don't have to get it. He does. That's all that matters.
11. Respond in love. That's what Jesus would do. It feels much better than responding in anger.
12. Guys from Utah enjoy the accent of southern girls. :) Who knew?
13. Long time best friends are trusted, tried and proved. And they give great advice! :)
14. Relient K's music great therapy!
15. I can feel love, even from Africa, from Mary Smith :)
I lost 2 people that I love a lot this week. But I can tell you without hesitation, God is faithful! His grace and mercy never ceases to amaze me. I miss you both already.
And to our hamster, Judy, you were fun! But, no more hamsters at our house ever again! :)
Much love! And thanks for reading! :)
