Thirty Things I've Learned in my Thirty Years

Today is my 30th birthday which hardly seems possible! In honor of that, here are 30 things I have learned in my 30 years!!

1. I am capable of far more than I think.
2. When I worry & can't see how something will work out, God ALWAYS shows up & shows me otherwise. ALWAYS!
3. Sometimes life just isn't fair. It just isn't. Period. The end.
4. It's necessary to laugh at yourself.
5. Losing friendships doesn't get any easier as I get older.
6. No matter what you do or how hard you try, some people just won't like you. And that's ok.
7. Life is short, too short, and every day should be treated as a gift.
8. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. - Rent
9. There will be people who are going to let you down.
10. Honesty IS the best policy. If you aren't honest, you have to remember who you told what.
11. In many disappointments, God has proven to me time and time again that His plans for me are far better than my plans for myself!
