What I've Learned

Five weeks - that's it! Five more weeks of school, and I'm officially a Junior (scary, yipes!). Well, I've had the most mixed feelings EVER of this year more than any other time in my life. But I find it more important to focus on the things I've learned more than the times I regret.

I've learned that . . .

~God is my best friend - He is always there for me, and I can come to Him at any time
~God is most dependable - my friends are incredible, but they will let me down from time to time
~God has brought me through times that I never thought I could make it through
~I am in a continual state of learning - the moment I've learned from situations, God brings more situations that I can learn from
~Life doesn't slow down
~More difficult times are coming
~God will not bring trials in my life that are impossible for me to overcome
~Emotional pain is much greater than physical pain, but God and friends can help you get past it and move on
~Change is hard, but inevitable
~God has a reason for everything He does - but He doesn't always reveal it
~Sometimes God brings the right person in your life just at the moment you need someone
~Don't procrastinate - you'll regret it!
~Keep your priorities where they should be - even school work :(
~Family is always constant - they may not be perfect, but they will always be family
~There are friends who are few and far between - if you happen to find one or two, you have more than most people dream of. And for the record, I am one of those very lucky people :-)

Always try to be extra kind to people, because everyone is fighting
some kind of battle.
