Learning and growing with God in my life.

I have learned a lot in my life. A lot that some might not learn until much later down the road of life. I am not perfect I don't know more than anyone else but through life's ups and downs, challenges, struggles, successes and sometimes failures I have learned valuable lessons with everything.

I have learned that hard times in your life teach you how to be strong. How to be faithful in the midst of trouble. How to rely on your faith to see you through things. 

I have learned that the good times teach you to enjoy life as it comes even the littlest thing or the littlest moment and never take anything you are given for granted. 

I have learned to appreciate what I have and the people in my life who make my world a better place simply because they exist.

I have learned that while things in life aren't perfect and things happen that are beyond our control that life is still very good. It is a worthy gift every day.

I have learned that you should always count your blessings because your blessings are so much more than the things that try to trouble you. 

I have learned it is good to look back on your life sometimes, to think back through the years at where you started to where you are now. To think of all the things that you had to do to get yourself where you are in the present moment.

To look at all of the things you have accomplished and to be proud of yourself. To look at all of the things you have done well in this world. To look at the positive impact you have had on others. How you maybe lifted them up when they were down. Maybe you encouraged them or taught them something along the way.

I know that many times I have looked back on my life where I used to be and where I am now. Sometimes I liked what I saw and then there were times that I wished things were different. I think everyone wishes things were different at times, it's a normal thing. I wouldn't have it any other way though. I wouldn't change a thing in my life because it has made me the person I am today.

I am proud of where I have come from in my life. I am proud of where I am today. I am thankful for all of it. Life isn't perfect but if you wait for the perfect life you might miss out on something wonderful for you. Perfection doesn't come. You take moments in your life and make them perfect in your own way.

So when looking back on your life, be proud of where you have been, where you are now, and where you are headed. You have the potential to go to great places if you just believe in yourself. Isn't it amazing to see where you have come from and where you can go? Never be afraid to look back or to look forward because when you look back you will see how far you have come and when you look forward you will see thing great things life has to offer you and just how far you can go in this world. Life is an adventure and your possibilities are endless.
