38. tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007?
People change and grow apart and it's not the end of the world. Life goes on and you make new friends, even if those friends don't happen for a while. And ultimately, it doesn't matter how many friends I have, if any, because Jesus is always with me. Also, God has the perfectly timed plan for me, and I don't need to wait to start my life unti I go away for college: life is happening right now. "Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened." Love is immeasurable and so important to everyone, give as MUCH AS YOU CAN because its something you'll never run out of. "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the fathe through him." -Colossians 3:17 and "Be anxious in NOTHING, but in everything, through prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests to made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6 Those have been my important life verses this year and from what I've learned a lot!!
