14 Things I Wish I Had Figured Out Sooner, But I Didn't.

1. The person you see in the mirror is beautiful, no matter what, because God made her!

2. Nobody is going to remember what you wore yesterday in a year or even next week. Don't spend so much time perfecting the outside when the thing that people are going to remember about you is the inside. ( But, hey, looking nice is never a sin ;D )

3. Fear is just Satan's way of keeping you from getting as much joy as you possibly can out of your life.

4. If God got you TO it, He can get you THROUGH it.

5. Live for the everyday moment. The minute you start wondering and freaking out about the future, you will forget your present and might miss out on something very valuable.

6. You can't wait on Prince Charming. If no one likes you, then no one likes you, you get over it and realize that your Eternal Prince is far greater than any Charming's the world could turn up. And one day, if God wills it, He will lead the right guy into your life.

7. People aren't going to believe you're a Christian if you don't act like one.

8. N O O N E is perfect. Well, except for Jesus.

9. You can't change who you are. You can fake iit, change your appearance, and switch cliques, but you'll always just be you. The minute you embrace this, you allow God to come in and shape you into the person He has always planned for you to be.

10. Don't devote yourself to something that will only let you down; a material thing. Let the Lord fill your every action and thought, and you will have eternal pleasure & happiness.

11. Jesus Christ is the way, the right way, and the only way. There is no Jesus without life, and there is no life without Jesus.

12. If you say something, you better be able to back it up. People don't like liars.

13. True love does not happen in middle school. It does not happen in high school. It may not even happen in college. The world is too big of an ocean to be set on one fish right now.

14. Hope is a thing with feathers, and it can fly if you just let it.
