Oh the lessons we will learn...

Isn't it so crazy how it seems that no matter what trial we go through there is a lesson to be learned and how often that lesson is one that we have learned previously. After a good discussion with one of my best friends the other night, I have just really been baffled and frustrated with myself about this. Not about the discussion but about the lessons that we seem to learn only to have to learn them again. When there is something that you feel like you took such a struggle to learn and then another challenge comes your way and you have to learn it again. A bit of encouragement I have been able to take has been that God is sovereign and in control. When we surrender to Him then He keeps us on a path that might not be easy but is going in the right direction...so no matter how many times I have to learn the same lesson, I want to keep my eyes on the Lord and then it doesn't matter...stay tuned...

Really!?!

So there have been a lot of moments here lately that I have just had time to think, which can be a VERY dangerous thing! I tend to overanalyze things....a lot. This gets me into lots of trouble especially in the boy department. Not that it really matters, but one thing I have learned is that in life sometimes you just have to do something rather than think excessively about it. I am not suggesting that people just completely throw caution to the wind, but I do believe that some people do think too much and then end up being cowardly because they think of everything that can go wrong. So here is my challenge. Do something that you have always wanted to do, but are to scared to do it. I believe that as long as you are giving glory to God in all that you do then you have nothing to worry about. So yeah...just a little thought upon looking back at my summer. Stay tuned...
