Life Lessons

I haven't written in a while and life has just gotten a little crazy.  I've been feeling a little down lately seeing everyone around me have new things happen in their lives while I feel like I'm sitting in the same place I started.  But there are somethings I've discovered in this little pity party I've been having.

1. When it comes to dating, nobody knows what they're doing and yet people break other's hearts everyday.  It's a part of life and that's when you pick up the pieces and find a way to move on.

2. The grass always looks greener on the other side but then you get to the other side and it's really not greener.  Life is never easy and it's not supposed to be.  It's through the challenges that we grow stronger.

3. My plan never seems to be the way that my life actually goes.  God has a plan for me and as I accept and put my trust in that, life seems to become a little easier to bear.  The trials don't go away but they begin to lighten.

4. Sometimes a night alone is what is needed to rejuvenate and clear your head.  That is a great time to think things through and try to look at life through a new persepective.  And making delicious cookies doesn't hurt either...

5. God has given us friends to help us through the hard times.  Everyone is in your life for a reason.  Whether they stay forever or not doesn't matter.  For the time they were in your life, they made an impact.
