I’m learning I don’t have to be perfect to be loved.
That God always forgives me.
And He never gives up one me.
I’m learning I have purpose and that can never be taken away from me.
No matter what people say or do or what I say or do.
God created me for a reason and I am irreplaceable.
I’m finally realizing that there are certain sinful habits that will be a struggle for me forever…that even when I think I’ve “conquered” them they sneak back when I let my guard down.
But, I’m also learning more and more that the Lord is faithful and through Him I have the strength and power to resist temptation.
I’m learning that things could be a whole lot worse, and even though i sometimes may not make the best decisions, i have a pretty blessed life in the end.
i’m also learning that no matter how many ways i approach it in my mind, the idea of having to go sit with my rheumatologist and discuss my health makes me feel nauseous an entire week before going. can you tell i’m dreading this week?!?
I am getting better at the process of learning because I have learned to ask better questions.
I have learned how to be more patient, by focusing on one thing at a time. When I was younger I tried to rush through stuff to experience as much as I could, and never experience much as a result.
Not getting over something is okay as long as it doesn’t keep us from moving forward. I have worked very hard at not becoming a prisoner to the past.
Not trying to be funny or obtuse or whatever…but I’ve been learning the same thing.
It’s very liberating.
I’m also learning I can’t keep up with my blog reader if I take more than a day off from it…so I need to learn how to just let what happened a few days ago slip by…just as it would have before I knew you all existed…
I read this post a couple of days ago. After tears like Jenni Clayville, I think maybe it should end with “& that freakin’ sucks!” rather than “& that’s ok.” because sometimes it just sucks and its not ok.
I’m learning that most people in this world seem to want permission from someone or something else to be themselves – and frankly – that’s not ok!
i’m also learning that most of the ones who don’t have that need also seem rarely to have concern for anyone else but themselves first. And that is definitely not OK
Know your(inner)self and how you work – and how you are supposed to work… then BE yourself – to the benefit of all others – but especially to your(higher)self.
Live, love and be free.
And remember where Love comes from ( and i don’t mean Australia! )
What are you learning?
“I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.”
Maya Angelou
LOVE IT!!! It’s so true!
Rebecca! Hey girl!!
H: Oh now that’s a good one…

No matter what people say or do or what I say or do.

I am learning that following God is not a playground…..it is a war zone……and greater is He that is in me than and I WILL OVERCOME!!
I’m finally realizing that there are certain sinful habits that will be a struggle for me forever…that even when I think I’ve “conquered” them they sneak back when I let my guard down.

Oh there’s some good stuff here.
I’m also learning that life’s most powerful lessons don’t come easily…
that ‘strength’ is not what I thought it was
God made me the way that I am for a purpose in His Kingdom.
That pure joy is being in His will – in the right place at the right time. Despite the suffering.
That three years is a very short time in ministry.
I am learning that fear is not an effective motivator if you want to have employees actually work in your organization!!
that I have so much less control over life than I ever thought… that’s a good thing, considering He’s God and I’m NOT.
AMEN.
whew
I’m ready to stop learning…
im learning that its okay to not have the answers to everything.
I cannot fix it, I cannot change it, I cannot hide from it, and I cannot shoulder it. Yet, I keep catching myself attempting all of the above.
I’m not there yet, but I’m discovering that it’s okay to be “undecided” when I stroll across the stage as a college graduate.
I loved this and I agree, there are things that will never leave us and that is OK…but there is also One who will hold our baggage for us…
I’m learning that things could be a whole lot worse, and even though i sometimes may not make the best decisions, i have a pretty blessed life in the end.
I’m learning that conditions do not have to dictate who I am.
I’m learning that “dying to myself, so that HE might live in me” is a daily, daily, daily process for me!
i’m learning that i have a lot left to learn.
i’m also learning that no matter how many ways i approach it in my mind, the idea of having to go sit with my rheumatologist and discuss my health makes me feel nauseous an entire week before going. can you tell i’m dreading this week?!?

I am learning life does not get easier as we grow older. . .
boo! these 14 words just made me cry.
ugh.

Agreed, onelove… Wish it wasn’t that way for any of us. Thanks for coming back to comment.

I’m learning that living without the internet is easier than I anticipated.
