I am having a stare down with the big 3-0 and I feel strangely excited about it. Today marks the one year anniversary of working at Hope House. Once again, I marvel at what has happened in the last 365 days of my fleeting life. Here are some things I've learned:
I've Learned That...
1) When God really wants to get your attention, don't worry, he will. It might even be while you're buying makeup at Target.
2) Having to give your dog away really, really, really sucks.
3)It's possible to have the flu, a cold, sinus infection, bronchitus and pinkeye all at the same time...and survive to tell about it.
4) that my "mommy" clock is ticking, and that's okay.
5)Just because I don't see an outcome doesn't mean that God isn't doing something behind the scenes.
6) I miss the Catholic Church, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's where I'm supposed to be right now.
7) You can run a full marathon and a year later not be able to run 2 miles without having to stop...dangit!
8)That I really miss being in a close community of people my own age.
9)God cared that I wanted a sunroom in my next house
10) When I get depressed, my house gets dirty
11) It's okay to admit that I'm really lonely. It doesn't mean I trust less, it just means I feel more.
12) I miss youth ministry
13) I love working with teen moms
14) I can really love someone even when they're about to punch me in the face.
15) Getting snowed in at work for 3 days isn't really that bad!!!
16) Craigslist ROCKS!
17) Jettas are evil
18) Having your own space is a really healthy thing.
19) Dressing up as Tigger for Halloween 2 years in a row is great fun
20) The smallest gesture of interest means A LOT when you've waited a really long time for it.
21) God has it all.
