Jessica- a great lesson to learn for sure. I have to remember that he offers to trade burdens with him, giving us his light one for our enormous one.

Praying that you find rest in enjoying his presence…

Mine is that I can simply enjoy Him – that I don’t always have to be hardcore working on something, but can enjoy freedom that comes from Him BY enjoying my relationship with Him.

I think God’s trying to teach me that I know nothing. Every time I think I know how to do something or what the right course of action is for something, I mess it up. Maybe saying I think he is trying to show me I know nothing is kinda of a bad way to put it, but I do think he is trying to make me realize that his ways are a lot better than mine.

I’m selfish. I’m self-serving. I’m cowardly. If I honestly look in the mirror, I can’t refute any of these things. And maybe what God is trying to teach me is that that’s okay. As long as I stop trying to deal with them myself, that is, and instead start looking to him to bring me through the times those start to dictate how I live..

This is definitely a big lesson for me right now during this season. I keep going back to, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Dangit.

God is teaching me about his sovereignty in the midst of brokenness and wounding. It amazes me to see how in the darkest moments in someone’s life, He makes his presence known in still, small ways. It’s comforting.

Man, these are some tough lessons here. I would imagine that if this question was asked in a year we’d be sharing some of the same lessons still….daily dying is sort of a big deal.

I would have to say love as well, and not just love but building healthy relationships and learning how to deal with toxic people. I took a class under the material from Townsend & Cloud titled “Safe People”. It made such a change in my life and made me see things differently in a more solid grounded biblical way. Sad these things are not focused on in the church, because i believe it is God’s heart for us to know how to love and relate to one another in a healthy way. Ive’ had 2 friends now get the book on amazon and it has and is changing their lives as I speak. I am really blown away. I am about to venture to a book I have heard is a hard pill to swallow. Titled “Bold Love’ by Dan alleander or olleander??
Anyhow..that is what I am learning right now..and living it too which makes it a lesson learned!

I’ve been learning that a friend loves at all times. Let me repeat. A friend loves AT ALL TIMES. Not only when it suits them, not only when it’s easy, not only when things are going well. A friend loves when they are hurt. A friend loves when they are angry. A friend loves when they feel misunderstood. God has loved me even though I have not always been faithful. Because of His love for me, I need to show loves to my friends.
