Here are 20 things that I have learned this past year. I have learned a lot more than 20 things, but I didn't want to write a fifty page paper! These are just random mumblings.
1. When you help someone, they actually end up helping you.
2. There is beauty in creating life. Being pregnant was a blessing. I now have one baby in heaven waiting for me. I never thought I could love a living thing that I have never met so much.
3. I can still have hope and laugh, even when life seems so hopeless.
4. Every day is a blessing. I know, cliché, but I have a deeper understanding now.
5. Alcohol is not the devil. I have had some really good conversations in bars.
6. I didn't think that I could grow deeper in love with my husband, but I did.
7. I love the Beatles.
8. Feeling sad is not a bad thing. It lets us know that we are still alive.
9. You are still a Christian even if you vote for a Democrat
10. I am stronger than I thought.
11. I am an activist at heart.
12. I can handle 15 hours in school and still make straight A's. (yeah me!)
13. I like hanging out with hippies, druggies, musicians, and artists. They are much more fun than churchy yuppies.
14. I can sleep in on Sunday mornings and not feel guilty. I like not going to church until 5 pm. It is really nice.
15. I am responsible enough to be a home owner. It is really nice not to live in an apartment anymore.
16. God is a good God. Sure, bad things happen. I know that He did not cause those bad things though. He takes care of us.
17. Angels are all around. They are people that give you a hug when you need it, that bring you food when you don't feel like fixing dinner. They are people that say that one thing that brightens your day. They are the people who listen when you cry.
18. I am learning to accept that my body is changing and that I may not ever be a size 6 again. That is ok.
19. Ryan and I can make it on a smaller income. It was worth it to have sanity and better sleep.
20. Not all homeless people are bums ( I already knew this, but I have a greater understanding now). Some of them are really cool if you get to know them!
