On my way to work today I kept thinking of Proverbs 3:5-6 which says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." I could not get the passage out of my head. I found myself saying "I trust you Lord", "I believe in you Lord" over and over again. I've just come to realize that it is true that He doesn't give us more than we can handle. God believes in me, and I should do the same. He never promised that we'd come out of the storm unscathed, just that we'd make it out. I believe that more right now than I ever have before.
That being said, I jotted some things down in my notebook two weeks ago that I've been wanting to post and kept forgetting about. This morning's "reflection" in my car served as a good reminder.
I've learned that...
...patience is really a virtue and I'm not that virtuous, but I sure try to be
...when you really love someone, it doesn't matter how much time has passed, you still get weak in the knees when they walk around shirtless (at least I do)
...it's okay to be guided by your heart
...sometimes you have to make decisions you don't want to, but in the end you're better for doing it
...when you choose to be happy and optimistic it changes every part of your life
...there are people in this world who will try to bring you down with them no matter how nice
you are to them and all you can do for them is pray
...the world will not come to an end if I spend my entire weekend on the couch, it just can't become a habit
...watching a child play and have fun is the ultimate cure for an emotional ailment
...when you don't take the hint, and feel the nudge that the Lord is trying to give you, he will kick you in the butt until you pay attention
