In all my 40 years...

In all my 40 years (I finally said 40...exhale), I have never learned soooo many lessons of life than I have in this season. Latest lesson: everyone that you consider friendly isn't really in your corner. Just because we wear the same Jersey doesn't mean that we are on the same team. Three things I know to be true; messy folks want to hear how sick or near death you are, they want to hear if you are having financial troubles, and messy folks want to hear if you are having relationship troubles. Misery loves company, so be leery of folks trying to get all up in your business...The blessing is that Psalm 23:5, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over". The Lord WILL get the glory out of your life, he will allow messy folks see you go through stuff, and then allow those same folks see you get blessed or overcome it. Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." How awesome is that? 13 more days until I enter the house that 40 built, still learning lessons. Even if you don't agree with me, thank you for taking the time to see it Jen's way.
