What I Learned From 2010

People aren't dolls, you can't just play with them then put them back in their box. I want no less from anyone than what I'm prepared to give. Silence is HIGHLY underestimated.Trying to understand some people is like trying to light a candle in the rain. There are two types of people who will cut you down in this world: Those who are afraid to try themselves and those who are afraid that you will succeed. We gain power when we refuse to accept less than we deserve. God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them. Time may take away a moment, but memory will always bring it back. I know it feels like you have all these options and when you make a decision, you lose a world of possibilities. But the reality is, until you make a decision, you have nothing at all. But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. Romans 8:25-26. So many of us find ourselves thinking things were so great. Yes, and the people who got on the Titanic thought they were going on vacation. Things changed and it's important to remember that they did. You can either throw in the towel, or use it to wipe off your sweat. People like to label you. I've never like being labelled. I can't take it because I'm never going to do the same thing over and over and over. I hate being limited. I hate being put in a box. Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don't give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You're on your own. Be on your own.
