| Sums up 2014 for me the Best |
Pettiness is subjective.What is trivial to someone else is significant to someone else, But to complain about what some feel passionately about is bogus. For example, I bothers me to hear people over the age of 25 complain about the haters. Umm if you get that old, you should know they come with life. But haters knowing their place is important for some and it should not be me tell them it's trivial.
4. When God wants you present, You WILL Be Present
Tried to sleep in with grief or tiredness, a few Sundays. Keyword: Tried. Who was up to at least watch service online? Who walked in the church without a thought of feeling tired? Me!!!
A few important events I wanted to opt out of just because I didn't feel like it. Before I could even create an excuse, there was somebody calling me with greater reasons why I will be there
3. Even with the smallest requests or concerns, God will Show up & Show out
Wanted God to show me other avenues to positive messages, quotes, & saying into my life. Everyday I receive some kind of message.
Thought it was some things I would have to give up & never see again because they were correlated to events & people. Keyword: Thought
2. Your Life does Not stop Life
Twice this year I let worry, grief and taking care of others make me forget to do a Monthly Budget. Let your business creditors have to call you, you will remember.
I let worry replan My Birthday Plans. I let grief almost cancel My Birthday Plans.
I let worry tell people, No Am I shocked that they go on without me? Nope!!!
1. Another Definition of Grace
I realize I am not entitled to love. I am not entitled to being loved. Everyone who loves me is a Blessing ~ Carolyn Myss
Told y'all God opened new avenues to positive messages. My Bestie Boo, LJ put a video up of a prayer containing that quote on his FB timeline and I was floored. God's grace is the love and mercy given to us by him because he desires us to have it, not because of anything we have done to earn it. God commanded us to "Love one another, As I have loved you, so you must love one another", in John 13:34 (New International Version (NIV)). .If we have not actually earned God's grace, we can't think we have earned his beloveds children's either. All the love I receive daily from people is not an automatic sanction they must give me. It is not for me to dictate how they love me. I knew this but to hear it said was an "Ah Ha", a "Light Bulb", & a "My God" moment wrapped it one.
So here's to 2014 it taught me well. Wonder what 2015 will teach me?
