Things I need to remember daily...

I found this in my wallet today- or rather Dash did- and it was a good reminder of some things I wrote down after reading The Journey of Desire by John Eldredge. I wrote it on August 12, 2007.

- Hope exists- it's no myth- it's REAL
- The night ends- Day comes
- One day life will be more than just surviving
- I can't do it all on my own
- Surrender is possible- I can let go of my need to control
- To be like the butterflies
- Perfection is not an option, therefore, I should not search and attempt to attain it in any situation
- God's hand will me through- He is the ultimate guide and provider- He knows the trails inside and out, and I should stop thinking I know it all and trust in his direction
- Curve balls often bring the best kind of life
- Above all, things will be okay
- I can trust my heart, for in it God dwells, and my heart is often the means by which he speaks to me
- Feelings are real- they may not last forever, but I need to remember to search the feelings I have- they may unlock something I need to realize in a particular moment
- God will give me someone I can do life with
- Laughter is the best kind of medicine
- Breathing is always a good idea
- Enjoyment is a attainable- find pleasure in little things- coffee, a song, a friend, story, etc.
-Life should only be taken as seriously as is necessary- NO MORE NO LESS

It's interesting how some of the things we write never really go "out of style." They're just as real, if not more now, than when we first wrote them.
