Ok, so another “what I’ve learned” type post. Sorry if you’re getting tired of them, but hey, sometimes if you don’t really have anything to say, you can always share your wisdom right? OK, so maybe not wisdom….but you get the picture, maybe?
With this, life has been teaching me a lot latley. I sometimes go through those “phases” where it seems like I’m learning a lot. So here is what I’ve been learning:
1. Some things are just not worth worrying over.
2. Worrying, in itself, is useless, pointless, and just takes up vauble time.
3. Focusing on the things of the world simply leaves you feeling sad, mad, and maybe sometimes lonely. Focusing on the things above leaves you feeling glad, blessed, thankful, and grateful. (Col. 3:2)
4. Where your focus is, your thoughts, mind, and heart will be also. Focus on the positive. Not the negative. Focus above, not below. Most of all, stay focused. Don’t get off track. Get rid of distractions.
5. If it won’t matter in twenty years, it doesn’t matter now. Forget about it and move on.
6. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes you just have to trust God, and keep on truckin’.
7. If you don’t understand why something is happening now, it will become clear later on. Then you’ll look back and think “I’m glad that didn’t happen.” or “I see now why this happened.”
8. God answers prayer.
9. God is a awesome God.
10. God is good. All the time.
11. Sometimes, when you are completely lost, confused, and feel defeated, a little talk with God can be so re-assuring. Also searching his word for help works wonders also!
12. God hears your prayers, even when you think he is not listening.
13. God’s timing is not our timing. Sometimes you just have to trust, let Go, and let God take over.
14. Never say “can’t”. Always say “try” If you fail, then hey, at least you tried.
15. Relationships are a funny thing.
16. Overt thinking and analyzing things is ridicouls (no clue on that spelling). What’s done is done and can’t be changed.
17. Don’t think about things too much. Just go with it.
18. Don’t complain about things. No one wants to hear it.
19. Sometimes it’s good to turn off the computer and TV…and talk with God instead. You know he is a little more important than Facebook and game shows. Just sayin.
20. Don’t argue with anyone. It’s pointless. Let them be right. Who cares if you’re wrong? Does it really matter anyways?
21. When something is bugging you, and you can’t get something off your mind, or your worried about something…Give it to God, and then pray for the peace that transcends all understanding. (Philippans 4:7)
22. The more I know about heaven, the more I want to go there. I recently read “Heaven is for Real” By: Todd Burpo and WOW! this gets me excited. Read that book if you haven’t. You’ll see what I mean.
Well, that’s what I’m learning these days. God continues to teach me new things each and every day. I’m excited about what the future holds. What is God doing in your life these days? What are you learning?
