8 Great Things I have Learned in 2008-

8. Always be prepared for a rainy day- spiritually and physically. You never know when a "storm" might be coming!

7. Through the "thickest part" of the storm grab an umbrella and dance. Danny has taught me to be grateful for the most simple things life has to offer.

6. I have learned that the storms and trials we go through are opportunities to learn and grow together. And weirdly enough, I am grateful for them.

5. I am human. I make the same mistakes OVER and OVER again yet the Lord still seems to bless me.

4. Miracles are real and prayers are answered.

3. I have learned that faith is a verb.

2. I have learned not to judge a book by its cover. There are many layers and pages to a person and to really get to know someone you have to be willing to open the book.

1. I have learned that being a mother to Whitney has allowed me to love like I didn't think possible. It has also given me a greater love for my family aanndd-- I couldn't have picked a better spouse to see through this crazy life!

Mindi, I was actually going to leave you a post and ask if you've started reading it yet! I can't believe you've finished it already! Wasn't it great?! I just remember finishing it and wanting to read more about her. I loved her. So that's why I read the sequel...called Sara's Quilt...but it is nothing near These Is My Words!!! But I agree, I laughed and cried and loved every minute of it as well! I'm so glad you liked it!
