reflections….

oh helloooooooo!!!!  i have so much to tell you all – but i am afraid that it would take me weeks to tell you about everything that has happened to me in the past few weeks!  so, i think i will just focus on the most important things……..

i learnt that the Bible has the best answer for those who deny the existence of God.  check for yourself.  Psalm 14:1a

i learnt that none of our situations are so unique that there is not at least one other woman that has felt the way each one of us feels at any given moment

i learnt that there is more pain in the world than i realised

i learnt that God is really, really in control and that without Him i am nothing

i learnt that when someone you love is dying, you can face it as long as you know that person is actually on their way to Eternal Life because they accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour

i have learnt that some people have no moral compass

i learnt some shocking things about some people i really admired.  i still admire some of them.  others – well, the jury is still out.

i learnt that people live in their own worlds, and although they allow some of us in for a time, we can’t comprehend at all what it is like to live in their world

i learnt that it is really hard to speak the truth in love

i learnt that my truth is not necessarily someone  else’s truth.  on some of these truths unfortunately, i can not and will not compromise

i learnt that TOTAL FORGIVENESS is really, really hard.  it is easy to say i have forgiven, it is almost impossible to show that i have forgiven

i have learnt that it takes all the parts to make a whole……..

i have learnt that some people are so lonely that they will pay a lot of money for company (and no, not that kind of company!!!)

i have learnt that i can not do everything myself and that it is ok to ask for help

i have learnt that i really, really am happy when other people are happy and enjoy themselves.

i learnt that when you don’t take care of your body when you are young, you will face the consequences when you get older

i also realised that although i don’t have any money in the bank, or a big house, or children, or a fancy car, or lots of clothes, jewellery and other THINGS, i have everything i need for today.   i am actually full.  the hole is gone…………………. and it is nothing i did.  for without Him, i am nothing and i can do nothing….

hope you have a super week – loads of things happening at the shop and we are gearing up for an exciting time ahead!  so, off to work i go!  xxxxx
