27 things at 27

Today marks the 27th year of my life.
I'd like to say that I have learned some things from the many experiences that help "pave" the "streets" of my 27 year journey.
This "road", rather journey has taken me to some wonderful places where I have acquired some valuable lesson, met many great people and have seen a multitude of incredible things....

So this post is not a culmination of these many things, rather a brief listing, and in no order, of 27 important, funny and invaluable reflections from my 27 years!

1. Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior and my response to this greatly effects my eternal destiny. (Jn. 6:40)

2. True Love is a person, not a thing and until you've meet that person you are unable to truly love. (1Jn. 4:7-21)

3. Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.

4. Don't wake a sleeping baby.

5. Your mother is usually right. (Speaking of, sorry mom for our fight this morning. I love you, thank you for giving me life :)

6. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. (Just for Bryan)

7. The grass isn't greener on the other side.

8. Take your makeup off every night before you go to bed.

9. Guard your heart, don't give it away to the first boy that gives you butterflies in your stomach...because one day you'll want to give the whole thing to someone, not pieces of it. Getting it back in pieces is harder than giving it in whole.

10. 5 is fine, 10 you're mine! (5 mph over the speed limit is fine, 10 mph over and you'll have yourself a ticket).

11. Cry when you have the urge.

12. Laugh hard, even if you look ugly doing it.

13. Take responsible risks.

14. Watch your dad fix stuff and learn how to hook up a VCR/DVR/COMPUTER etc.

15. When whatever it is seems unbearable just remember; it will pass and God will not give you anything you cannot handle, in His strength. (1 Cor. 10:13)

16. Let your "yes's" be yes and your "no's" be no.  (James 5:12)

17. There are more fish in the sea.

18. Don't live your life in the shadow of others.

19. Don't live your life based on random quotes.  Hehe

20. When the bill is due, pay it....don't be late.

21. Overdraft protection is always a must and yes, buy the warranty.

22. Being wrong isn't a bad thing. Admit it when you are wrong and always seek forgiveness.

23. Love with your whole heart and serve as if no one is watching.

24. Slow down and be content.

25. Respect, love and submit to your husband even when his actions/ words make it hard to. (Eph. 5)

26. Grace means you don't have to come "perfect".

27. He loves us too much to let us stay the same.

27b. Time does fly by.
