What I've Noticed in a Year and a Half

Well, its been just about a year and a half since I started my trek back to the Lord. The following is what I've learned...noticed...or come to understand about myself, others, and God along the way.

- I'm 30, and still very naive... Some would say I have too much hope...I'd like to say I'm full of hope. I'm choosing to believe the best in people just as God believes the best in me. I think that gets me in trouble some times.

- I'm very persistent and I never give up...that too hurts me sometimes because not giving up on someone means enduring hurt in the process. I think it scares people away from me too

- I'm a serious and intense person. That seems to push some people away from me...but they don't really ever see the side thats a bowl full of laughter. Maybe I should let it out more.

- I'm passionate about what I believe in...which is God and His calling on our lives. I believe that Jesus Christ is indeed the Son of God.

- I think dating is officially a waste of time...I'll just trust God to bring that right person in my life.

- Marriage is never a waste of time....protect it, guard it, grow it, care for it. Without your partner, life will never be the same.

- Even your best friends may not be permanent. Treasure them.

- Even those very same friends might just take you foregranted (sp?) Even so...keep loving them.

- I hate it that some men in this world have forgotten what it means to treat a woman. Have we all forgotten about Chivalry? In marriages, what about Ephesians 5? Wake up, Men! Chivalry is not dead.

Theres more to this...when I think of it.
