What I've learned in the last 365 days.

As I complete another revolution around the sun, I would like to share what I've learned in the last 365 days.

God.
Being a Christian is hard.
Sin takes you farther than you want to go, keeps you longer than you want to stay and costs you more than you want to pay.
God has a purpose for ALL of us.
Being blessed by God and being used by God are two, completely different things.
Believe to receive.
Bless to be blessed.
Put your feet to your faith.

Personal Growth:
I don't need someone to be with me to enjoy certain activities. Drinking coffee, taking a trip and going to concerts are all things that I can do alone. Having someone there doesn't necessarily mean that they will enhance the experience in any way. In fact, some will bring you down.

Friendships and Relationships:
Lonliness leads to settling.
Most of the time, I can only relate to people 30 years of age and older.
There is no such thing as a "bad friend." These people aren't your friends.
Sometimes you have to cut-out people who bring you down or drain you emotionally and spiritually.
God puts people in our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
MOST people don't know what they want.

Birthdays:
I will probably never have a good birthday.
Your birthday is more for your family and friends than it is for you. Let them celebrate it!

Electricity:
Capacitors hurt.
