- Stressing and complaining doesn't change anything. Hard work and dedication does.
- God really does answer prayers.
- God really does yearn to have a personal relationship with me.
- I can find freedom from anxiety when I pray for others.
- Struggles and pain make smiles and laughter so much sweeter.
- I have the best sister a girl could possibly ask for.
- People can surprise you (in good and bad ways)!
- Sometimes it's okay to be selfish.
- I'm happiest when I'm in the company of an encouraging person.
- That this current season in my life has caused me to rediscover Christ and genuinely seek a relationship with Him. Wow...talk about a transformation! Every second of pain or hurt has been worth this realization.
- Any amount of future happiness that pulled me away from this relationship with Christ, would not be worth it. I would rather be struggling and seeking Him, than happy and thinking I can make it without Him (because how meaningful is that?).
- Simple acts of kindness can make an exponential difference in someone's day.
- People will let you down.
- Every day is a new day; a new chance to get it right.
- God is so gracious to me.

Things I've Learned Lately
Monday, November 7, 2011
Ramblings
I sure haven't posted in a while! To be honest, things feel a bit stagnant, so I guess I haven't been sure what to post about.
I went and looked at the studio...it was sooo tiny. I don't know why, but for some reason when I went inside it, I just felt depressed. It wasn't exactly what I had in mind, and I just started to worry that I would be so lonely there. I am still trying to keep an open mind and consider moving down there, I just don't want to rush into it. Ideally, I would find a great roommate who wanted to live in that area. That way, I would have some company and less of a financial commitment. Oh well...time will tell, I guess.
On a happier note, my sister and brother-in-law are pregnant with their second child! We find out the sex in two weeks! I am SO excited for this new addition to the family and the joy that I know it will bring. What will it be...boy or girl!?!
This past weekend was a nice blend of fun activities and down time. Saturday was Amy's birthday. I swung by her apartment on my way to the gym and decorated her car with balloons. ;) She met me at the gym and we took Step and Centergy together. Talk about a workout! We both definitely got our sweat on and earned a Starbucks drink as a reward. After coffee, we crossed the street to get pedis together. :) Later that night I went to the North service at church and hung out with some of the girls afterward. It was a nice evening full of company of people that I love. Sunday morning I went to the South service at church. Jonathan Martin spoke, and his message really touched me. I spent most of Sunday relaxing until I went to the mall with my mom. I have been really wanting to get some new boots for fall...so I decided to splurge a little. I got two pairs of boots that I love...annnnd at a great price! It was definitely a successful trip. After the mall, I headed to the Gabbert's house for growth group. As usual, we enjoyed great food, conversation, and fellowship. It was a nice way to top off the weekend!
I don't know about you guys, but I have been loving this fall weather! We have been blessed with crisp, dry days. Today on my way in to work, I went through the Starbucks drive thru and got a Skinny Caramel Macchiato. Only 100 calories, and such a treat! Now, I am at work and feeling anxious for it to be 4pm! The second half of the day is pretty slow, and I'm feeling eager to get to the gym and workout. Power class, here I come!
