The beginning of 2011 marked the beginning of the biggest roller-coaster ride of my life. I didn't know it at the time, but I was getting ready to learn some lessons that were pretty hard to swallow. Here are a few of the things (both hard and not-so-hard) that I have learned so far.
1. When it comes to spaghetti, vodka sauce is really undeniably the best. But for how good it is, it is equally as hard to find one the whole family agrees on.
2. There are some things you just shouldn't say unless you are 100% sure you mean it.
3. For everything there is a season. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
4. Sometimes, God's plan and my plan aren't the same. His plan is always better.
5. When on Accutane, Chapstick, eye drops, and water become your best friend.
6. Sometimes, God wants you to leave when it would be easier to stay.
7. Macs are worth the money. I never thought I'd hear myself say that.
8. Never never NEVER pick a canister of grits up by the lid. Never.
9. There is no relationship- romantic or otherwise- that is worth losing a friend over.
10. God will meet you in the deepest, darkest valleys and carry you through. He is so faithful, and His love is steadfast beyond imagination. (Psalm 13:5-6)
11. Amy Grant's song "Takes a Little Time" is right on the money.
12. Chacos really ARE as amazing as everyone said... maybe more so.
13. My life happens in themes. This season's theme- "God builds into you during the wait" -Mike Harder.
14. Ginger tea is liquid magic, and Singer's Saving Grace throat spray absolutely lives up to its name.
15a. Be where you are, and be with who you're with. Life is far too valuable to be wasted on half-hearted relationships.
15b. When your power is out for 6 days, you realize how much the simple things matter.
