Life Learned:

  1. It’s okay to want something, even if you don’t know what the outcome is going to be of wanting that….

  2. Something I’ve been processing this month is why is it that I can give grace to some people but not others? I have a question for you…do you give grace easily, or does it come at a price? Are you able to give it freely to anyone, or are there some people, you find it really hard to give it to? Why? Just something to think about…

  3. Not everyone is meant for every type of ministry opportunity; and that’s okay. Bug go in with a joyful heart, and be open to whatever God has planned for you there.

  4. The theory of doing something is much different than the reality of doing something. In life we often think of doing something that we know we should do but we don’t really want to. The reality is doing those things that we often only think about doing is sometimes the best and most healthy things we could be doing for ourselves.

  5. I don’t need people to validating my thoughts or feelings for me. My thoughts and feelings are VALID all on their own.

  6. What does it mean to no longer be a runner?

  7. I don’t want to live my life as a “runner” anymore. Fight instead of flight. Courage over comfort.

  8. On 8/8 we woke up to a earthquake at about 11:30 pm.

  9. What makes you feel loved?

  10. Sometimes you just need to listen to a good podcast sermon from your home church to hold you tight until you get home. Brock’s sermon that I listened to rocked!

  11. “If your under his blood, you’re not under wrath any longer…” ~Brock Ewing

  12. Do you find your identity in the world or in Christ?

  13. Spending time making a child laugh, is so much better than taking the day off to go down the mountain to get WiFi.
