Lessons Learned in Colorado

So, I've been in Colorado for a month now. I'll be sad to leave it on Monday, but I won't be leaving without taking some lessons with me. Here's what I've learned at MTI, Focus on the Family, and everywhere in between over the past few weeks.

~ Big change becomes normal soon enough. Funny how that works, but this fact gives me peace every time I think about graduating next spring.


~ I'm in love with words. I guess I've always known this, but it's nice to be reminded every once and a while.


~ Colorado sky could keep me excited for life. The clouds, stars, rainbows, colors.... Who cares about the mountains? The sky is freakin' awesome!


~ Driving isn't as difficult as I initially thought. As long as I have enough gas, a Starbucks, and The Weepies with me, I'm good.


~ Joy can be found in simple things. Just take a closer look at a one-year-old.


~ Fellowship can happen pretty much anywhere at any time and with anyone. And strangers can easily become close friends when out of their comfort zone.


~ Sharing is caring : )
One of the many lessons I've taught the MTI kiddos since arriving.


~ Cubicles could possibly be the end to me when I start working full time. I guess I'm more of a socialite than I thought!


~ An author is only as good as the people who stand behind her.


~ Push is an interesting movie and 7 Pounds doesn't explain why it's called that.


~ God has a way of directing people to cross paths when needed the most. More than any other summer, I've been given a lot of opportunities to hang out with and talk to people I know will play a role in my future.


~ Reading is fun. But reading in order to discuss material is even funner!


~ Hiking is a good analogy for life. I never really understood why until I hiked 4 hours up a CO mountain.


Those are just some of the random things I've been learning recently. What has God been teaching you?
