What do I really have to say?

I start with that title because it makes me think of whats really important.

No true knowledge about life I have is something profound and new that I came up with, but the TRUE knowledge has come from God showing me and teaching me what this life is really about.

So here is what I have learned...

1. Choosing to really Follow Jesus Christ was the best decision I've ever made.

2. Learning how to submit to His WILL can be the hardest thing, especially when you think you know what is best.... you're lying to yourself. haha.

3. He uses you even when you feel like you are falling short and not holding up your end of the bargain... the truth is we are never able to do it "all" and hold up our end of the bargain. Example: Sending His only Son to die for us, because on our own we would never be able to achieve salvation.

4. We serve a God who is much BIGGER and POWERFUL THAN WE WILL EVER UNDERSTAND!

Words used to describe our God

Sovereign- having supreme rank, power, or authority; supreme; preeminent; indisputable; greatest in degree; utmost or extreme.

Holy- entitled to worship or veneration as or is if sacred.

Awesome- inspiring awe. (Awe-an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, fear, etc., produced by that which is grand, sublime, extremely powerful.)

5. Serving God with the talents He has given me are way more meaningful to me than anything that I could ever conjure up on my own.

6. Always trying to have a heart that is open to Him!

7. Listening to Him is way more important than telling Him what you think is important.

So far this is what I know that God has taught me about life so far.
