Things I've Learned This Week...

I read a wonderful  book this week and it taught me a lot. This book taught me to stop and smell the roses, notice the sunset/sunrise, enjoy the sun on my skin and so much more. I recently obtained a potted flower and put in on a stand outside the door of my apartment. It's beautiful and when I come home I smile. That hasn't happened a lot recently. I mean I am happy but when you are a single woman about to turn 30 you dread coming home to an empty apartment. So I decided that I needed a change, something only I could do for me. Make my apartment everything I want it to be. A sort of single girl sanctuary that flows around ME! Sound selfish and girly, well it is. When I get into a relationship and eventually get married...I will have already had all the pink girly stuff and had my home the exact way I wanted it to be. This leaves me to be able to focus on my husband and compromise on our home! This makes me happy...

Another thing that makes me happy is being able to be my weird qwerky self and love every minute of it. I dropped the ego. I still get jealous or envious once in a while, but I quickly push the thoght out of my mind and remind myself that I have a wonderful relationship with God and he has a plan for me. I can't let my wordly thoughts seep into such a wonderful plan that he has for me.

All things are possible all of the time. This is amazing! If you ever say "this is impossible" you are disrespecting God. With GOD all things are possible! Think about what he did for us up on that cross. Think of what he had to go through and now you tell me if what you want to do is impossible. I disklike very much when people say " i can't do it" or "that is impossible".....NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! Try and Try again! I used to say, " I can't afford to go back to school" but guess what U-Haul pays my tuition and I found a way to afford my school books. So NOTHING is impossible.

Finally one of the biggest things that I have learned is to RECEIVE gifts as well as GIVE them. It feels so good to give to people, imagine what it feels like to get them in return. Imagine if nobody ever received that gift. We all need to accept gifts from people as well as give them. I have learned this lately more than ever before. God has brought so many wonderful people into my life and he has allowed me to receive some wonderful giftts! God has brought wonderful friends into my life that I hope are lifetime friends. They each bring something different into my life and I can't wait to just live life with all of them.

God has taught me some amazing things lately and I am super stoked to have learned all of them. I will never quit learning new lessons. That is what is so amazing about God...he always has something else that we don't know or something that we can see in a new light. Many people have asked me what sparked the change in my life and I tell them that I have accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have been SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH! Nobody can change that for me. I can fall and trip but ultimately he will be there with a candle and help me find my way back to the path he has lit with his word. I can't express in one blog how happy I am but hopefully this is a start.

Proverbs 3:6, "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

God Bless!
