Things I have learned
These are the things I have learned since I have been here in France:
1. I am not stupid. I may not understand what is going on, but I am very far from being stupid. Even more important, if I was stupid, it wouldn't matter anyways, because God loves me all the time (even in my stupid moments).
2. Life is an amzingly fun adenture, and all you have to do is accept that the adventure will not always be easy and sometimes you will feel stupid even when you aren't. Life is exciting and fun...period.
3. God controls everything and all I have to do is trust in His infinite knowledge of my heart and in His complete desire for my good. I don't have to do anything else, just trust and pray.
4. Number 3 is easier said than done.
5. The best phrase to know in as many languages as you possibly can is "Where is the restroom?"
7. I love America.
8. I love Andy.
9. I love my family.
10. I love my friends more than I can even begin to say. One doesn't realize how much it means to have people who believe the same things and who will keep you accountable. It's really hard when the things one believes are wrong are simple trivialities to the rest of the people in ones life. For those of you have never been afraid of telling me the truth when I need to hear it or who have loved me in my crappiest moments, you don't even know how much I think of your example.
11. Europe really does need all the missionaries that are being sent here.
12. The priests are hardcore and have to be.
13. Most French men suck.
14. The dogs are still snobby.
15. I love Europe and America, but I realize even more that my heart will always be restless until I am in my heavenly home.
