A Night for Blogging

Tonight is a night for blogging.

Partially because I have to get my weekly blog in for my lent challenge.  I need to do this especially because I’m kinda failing at my devo lent challenge.  I’ve been getting an average of a devo a day, but sometimes it’s more like two every other day.  I’ve kinda let myself down in the area of my lent challenge.  :(

Either way, tonight is a blogging night.

I had a little fun, I went back and looked through some of my blogs over the last year.  It’s been a full year since my very first blog, kinda weird, time flies!

It was fun for me to see all the stages of life I went through in one year.  There is so much growth that happens.  It’s fun to have that documented.  It’s also very humbling and very much a constant reminder of the changes that are still happening in me.

Here is a run down of some of the things I’ve learned in this past year:

1. I have to choose to just be sometimes and not always worry about all the things there are for me to be doing.

2. That loving hard is when we have to love as hard as we can AND love through the hard times.

3. I disliked decisions a year ago and I dislike decisions now.

4. I always have an always will love a good wedding!

5. Learning from kids is the best way to gain insight from life. Oh and my niece is the cutest!

6. A little heartbreak is not always a bad thing, even though it sucks.

7. I am beloved.

8. I love feeling small and when I look up at the stars, I feel small.

9. I rely on Disney movies to teach me lessons about life.

10. I can fall madly in love with an amazing guy.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of the lessons I’ve learned in the last year, however it is cool for me to see all the things I’ve been learning.

It is a huge blessing to know that God has placed opportunities and people in my life to continue to grow me into what he has planned.

Thank you for giving me those opportunities and being those people!  You have blessed me!
