10 Lessons Learned This Year

1. Sharing in an accomplishment as a team is so much sweeter than reveling in an accomplishment you made as an individual.
2. Everything comes to an end, but the memories and lessons learned will last a lifetime.
3. There are new opportunities everyday. You never know what is going to be around the next corner, so always get up and live with joy and a willingness to embrace opportunities.
4. Living with more purpose and intention will grow relationships and friendships in your life. Nothing grows without effort.
5. You should never lessen or make excuses for someone’s actions that go against what you strongly value just because you love that person. 
6. If you have a feeling that something is not quite right, trust your instincts for they are more than likely right.
7. People will lie and cheat you, but it’s how you react that makes a world of a difference. There is a beauty in forgiveness and giving people grace. 
8. There comes a strong amount of respect for people that tell the truth and say things that aren’t up for interpretation. I’d much rather hear the blunt truth than the sugar coated reason people give to make it less “hurtful”
9. God can change you in a moment and give you this peace, contentment, and confidence that is stronger than it’s ever been before.
10. And lastly, I will always be enough for God and God will always be enough for me. He made me who I am and loves me unconditionally. By finding my way back to my first love I have found my worth and passion... and it’s in Him.
