Things I Know Today
-Sleep is not your friend after seven or eight hours. Sleep may tell you to lie there another two hours, that it will feel good to do so. That's not true, especially when you have the strength and the ability to stand on both legs, walk to the bathroom or the kitchen, or wherever your morning begins, and get your day started. Yes, sleep is necessary to life, but it can also steal your life from you if you let it. Don't entertain thieves.
-God is not going to solve all of our problems. Had God solved all of David's problems, the Psalms would never have been written, or if they had, they would have been much shorter and less beautiful, resonant, and true.
-I am the beloved. There is nothing that I can do to make God love me more and nothing I can do to make God love me less.
-Growing up means that there is going to be a lot of hard work ahead. You can choose not to do the work, but you will be allowing the devil to rob you and the world of everything you have to offer, whatever that is. We are all here to create something. Do not allow Resistance or laziness (the damn devil) to deprive you and the world of what you have to offer.
-It is a lie to think that you cannot change the world. You simply cannot change the world alone. Not even Christ could do that. Even he had to die for someone. He, too, needed people or he would have died for nothing.
-I waste a lot of time. I'm tired of wasting time. Please pray that I will stop wasting time.

- Unless you are pregnant and have a toddler. Then any and all sleep is your friend.
- How very true.
- Praise Him for that!
- I'm here to create beautiful human beings. You're here to create beautiful writing. I'm going to pretend I can do both ;)
- I can't wait to see how you change it. You will.
- Only if you'll pray the same thing for me.
XOXO
