Learning Experiences

If we're being honest, I really should be sleeping right now considering I must wake up in 7.5 hours. But then again my sleep pattern has been disrupted one too many times since I've been sick so I'm not concerned.

I have learned far more these past two weeks of Christmas break then I ever thought was possible. Jesus has showed up in the good and the bad and all of it has been for his glory. There's almost too much that has happened to summarize in one post and I should've been keeping this updated, but my busy schedule has gotten the best of me. And come to think of it, some of the things that I've learned this week, I still want to keep close to the vest for a while and I'm not ready for the whole world to know everything yet. It's still between me and Jesus at this point.
But generally over the past two weeks I have learned:

-God doesn't do anything accidentally.
-The mistakes we make are always learning experiences.
-If we didn't make mistakes, we wouldn't grow.
-Confrontation is hard but worth it in the end.
-Confrontation can and should be said in love.
-When we delight ourselves in the Lord, He gives us the desires of our hearts.
-When we obey Him, he honors that.

What I AM learning:

-Patience is not just a small part of being a follower of Jesus....it's the majority of being a follower of Jesus and it will be worth it in the end.
-God has a plan for my life...the BEST actually.
-God will work all things together for my good even if I seemingly screw them up in the moment.
-A lot of the desires of our hearts are the ones that we keep buried the deepest because we're afraid of losing them or screwing them up. The ones we aren't as thrilled about are the ones that we tend to tell the world.
-God is using me right where I am.
-I need to finish what I've started and God will continue to lead me once I do that.


These are just some examples of what's been going on in my head and the results of the meetings I've been having with God over the past two weeks. He's really creating a big work in me and I intend to be a fully different person by this time next year. Something big is coming and I know that God has me playing a large role in that as well.
So excited to see what God is coming with this year.
Be Love. Be Jesus.
