Top 11 Things I've learned

1. How to love the way Daddy intended us to love. My heart has learned to break for the same things that break His heart.
2. Venerability doesn't mean you must cry but that you care enough about this person that you are honest and pour your heart out to them.
3. I've finally understood the Father's love for us, for me. I'm His daughter and He's my Daddy.
4. You can find Coke, Oreos, Head
& Shoulders Shampoo and Justin Bieber all over the world! No Worries Friends!
5. Patience because people around the world operate on their own time and have no respect for your time. Patience!!
6. The World isn't as big as I thought it was.
7. It's okay to dance, kneel, shout, laugh uncontrollably, sing or fall to your face in worship. It's okay to be yourself
8. Cold showers, beans & rice everyday, squatty potties, and reading a book making you sweat really isn't that bad. Actually it brings about the best memories πŸ˜‰
9. There is such a thing as Charismatic Catholics, who would have thought?
10. Family isn't formed because of blood or marriage but by how much you truly love that person. Are you willing to give up anything, even your life? I'd do anything for my family. My future children have gained 52 new aunts and uncles. They will forever be apart of my family.
11. Daddy hasn't called me to live the "American Dream" He's called me to live for Him, fulfilling His beautiful dream and purpose for myself.
