Walls Come Down Enter In

Lessons Learned in 3D — The Procrastinator’s Edition

A while back, I decided that each Friday on the blog I would share what I am learning in the form of a top 10 list.

And then, life decided to get a little crazy.

So, I am just a tad bit behind.

Actually, I am three months behind.

Oops! How did that happen?

Obviously, I have some catching up to do.

Here in no particular order are 10 things I have learned over the last 12 weeks:

1. A home-cooked meal during a stressful week can be a game changer and help lighten the mood. I suggest you pull out your crock pot and try Carolina Hot Pot. (I added an extra jar of mild salsa at the end to cut the heat a bit.)

2. A two-week vacation away from internet and cell phones will refresh your spirit (until you get back to civilization and discover that you have 300 e-mails). We had a wonderful time in Alaska.

3. Beth Moore reminded me that these “4 words resound in your mind, leap from your mouth, and strengthen your step this day” — Name the name.

4. Writing a blog post every day for 31 days is not an impossible task. (Remind me to send The Nester a thank you card.)

5. Pinterest is packed full of fun ideas for Thanksgiving.

6. Biggest take-away about relationships from Beth Moore’s Sacred Secrets study:

Authenticity with All
Transparency with Most
Intimacy with Some

7. Kevin DeYoung taught me a new framework for praying using Scripture – The 3R’s.

8. Praise and worship is a great prescription for a heavy heart.

9. I am clinging to this truth:

“And The Lord is faithful,

and He will strengthen

and protect you from the evil one”

(II Thessalonians 3:3, NASB).

10. Cowboys make great theologians. I snapped a picture of this sign when we had dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse earlier this week:

Q4U: What have you learned lately? I would love to hear about it.
