Ten Things

So.... I know that making lists of ten things is always a bit dorky and cliche. But at this point in my life, I just need something, anything, that will help me stay sane. So I wrote a list of ten things I need to remember and/or do. I have it up on my wall in my room. I'm taking a big step putting it here, because it gives full view into the messy confusion frustration that is my life at the moment, but I'm just resting in the fact that no one reads this anyways. :) So here it is:

1) Deepen my roots so my faith will last.

2) Work on my perspective (Opposition vs. Opportunity).

3) Stop trying to place God in a perfect little box. It’s ok that He seems crazy and not understandable. He’s so much bigger than me and my ideas.

4) Learn how to serve the people closest to me.

5) Remember that it’s not about me and my efforts, but about who’s behind me.

6) Stop forgetting to do things that refresh my joy.

7) Remember that Jesus always forgives, always takes back, no matter how long it’s been since we’ve talked..

8) Don’t stress about the future. God already knows.

9) Try to work on opening up. I can’t do it alone anymore.

10) Try to be an encouragement to someone every day.
