painfully learning lessons.

most people look foward to the month of february right? the month of loove.

this has been an especially tough month for me. from the end of last month, to now, its just been one completely huge lesson.

i think its good to have your confidence brought down sometimes. its completely humbling to experience something like this, and be jerked (literally) back to reality. the other day, my mom was telling me how we should never underestimate the power of prayer. we've all heard that before, im sure. but really, honestly, never underestimate the power of prayer.

how often do we pray to God for the simple things we go through life doing? how often do we pray to God for the things we feel are of the utmost importance? one outweighs the other greatly huh? its so very simple to pray for an exam that we procrastinated studying for, or for finding that someone special for the future, or just things that stress us out in general. but what about the things that we go through daily? the not so important things? walking/driving safely to our destination, using credit/debit cards for purchases we need, etc etc.

i suppose all of this has an explanation. the explanation is logical, at least for myself.

never go through life so quickly that you don't give a moment's thought to what really is important. its the little things that are important. its the little things that we need to lift up as well.

for myself, the lesson has been learned. i hope you learn this lesson the simple way because when you do, it is so rewarding in the end.

dont ever underestimate the power of prayer, and go through life so quickly that God has to jerk you back to reality.

"be still and know that i am God." -Psalms 46:10
