Little Life Lessons

Over this summer I've learned a few things...believe it or not.

1. The more mature I've gotten the more I am ok with myself being immature at appropriate times. (This has stemmed from working with a bunch of younger guards.)

2. Live every day giving one hundred percent, because God can use you in any circumstance, whether you like it or not. (Thanks to Azumi for this one, she said it kind of on a whim when I first met her, and it really struck a chord with me!)

3. God's timing doesn't always line up with my timing. (I'm still in the process of fully understanding this one.)

4. You appreciate gas so much more when you have to buy it yourself. (Road tripping to Tacoma and back, I only refilled twice, Oh yes.)

5. Real friends are hard to come by and I really appreciate the ones I have. (Being back in Spokane made me realize how many ties I really made at school and how few friends I had back home.)

6. I'm still just as lazy as I always was. (My room is still a dreadful disaster, and I can't find any motivation to make it better as I'm leaving in a month again...)

7. Swinging is so therapeutic. (I already knew this one, but my dear friend Nikki helped bring this back to life.)

8. I crush on guys way to easily, and I never do anything past that, and it takes a lot of effort to tell anyone about said crushes, probably because I know nothing is going to come of it. (I'm a control freak, so to maintain in control I can't tell anyone else my dreams or they may actually come true...what can I say? My brain does weird things.)

9. Conflict makes me angry. It makes me tense up. I want to explode, but I tend to respond passive aggressively because I am too afraid to lose friendships, so it is easier to write out my emotions than to tell them to someone's face. (This is one I've been learning and discovering as I go about my days, this will continue to develop I'm sure.)

10. My confidence and strength comes from God alone, He is my only true confidant and I rely on Him for my all. Through His help I can be bold in His name with no fear of man. From His well of life I draw my joy, which gets me through each and every day. (It is God's fault I have energy and am accused of being giddy, but I am okay with that, because that is how He made and blessed me!)

11. The more I draw into myself the more I discover. God has given me so many gifts, and as I continue throughout my life I long to bring Him glory, by my actions, by His grace. (What more can be said?)
