As a blog post for this month, I would like to give a few of the lessons I have learned in life.
1. The surpassing Holiness, Love, and Mercy of a Great Savior.
2. The vast depravity of who I am as a sinful man, likely to rebel, choose second best, and to seek the very things which would seek to destroy me.
3. Which leads me to understand even more how much I need a Holy, Loving, and Merciful Savior and how much that time with him really means.
4. Wise people really are those who learn form the mistakes of others and even many of their own.
5. Love is one of the most beautiful things that God has ever created. It is strong and fast, it comes and it goes, and for that very reason we should love with all we have.
6. There is no more amazing or awesome or worshipful moment, then when you see a soul pass for death to life @ the moment that someone accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
7. There are few things that irritate me like mindless Legalism, You would not belive how many people I have had talked with that about.
8. Open and Honest answers always get you further in conversations than just telling someone "you just need to have faith."
9. When God calls you to something, he might ask you to jump of a cliff in a spiritual sense, but he always is there to supply what needs arise. Examples for me are Bible collage and my Kenya trip, and I know that he is able to do it all over and over again
10. I have been gifted with unique abilities that allow me to do so much fun stuff.......I just have this thing about finding answers and learning about things. I know that some of it I will probably never use, but hey. If I need that information about things they are there.
11. Times of hardship and trials are the things that will test you and tell you character of who your are and who those around you really are.
12. Friends are some of the most influential people in your life, so choose them wisely. Along those same lines.....your mentors might actually know a thing or two about life.
13. Life is short.....I mean I have grey hairs already.....lol.
14. Proverbs 31 really is the best standard for a woman......at least for a good one.
15. Hurt, Pain, Loss and Deviation are a universal language, but so are Hope, Love, and Compassion.
Oh, I could go on and on, but it could be a very very long list. The cool thing about it, is that I continue to learn and God continues to teach.
