Experience..
I'm not fully wise or knowledgeable here...what I post is my thoughts, my heart, and still a person with faults.
But I have realized experience is key, usually in life, right? And in careers, sooner or later, we become confident, and the technique may become second-nature.
In life, I'm convinced that what is/has been our misery becomes our ministry. What we've suffered with becomes our reality to help those going through it. Which is a great blessing, because you go into hindsight, seeing it is a great deal of ground gained. Praise the LORD.
Sometimes we get into something new, and lack confidence, maybe because the people around don't know us, and as the days, weeks, months, go by, the ice breaks, and we loosen up.
I know the word "experience" can have a negative side, because it reminds us of our regrets.
Well, from a good friend, who has taught me not to live with regrets, all we can do is have counterintuvuity,..which means we are thankful for the situations, which helps us overcome shame. [Shame is from the enemy].
Praise the LORD. Being reminded of that, gives me grace from Him AGAIN and takes the pressure off.
Under pressure? Relax.
Breathe.
It is in God's time.
The past is something to look back and be thankful, because we can help someone else now. If we didn't trust the LORD, where would we be? Something I can do better every day as well.
_____________________________________
Sometimes experience paves the way to a skill or career later in life, like something we're interested in. I love experience spiritually, especially being with God through hard times. It makes you stronger, He burns more within, it becomes more personable. This reminds me to grow up. :]
Growing hurts.

[possibilities...]
So Possibilities:
to sing, eat, laugh, wake up, go to sleep, overcome addiction, fear, to get muscular, to learn guitar, to sing, to love Jesus, and love life even when it is hard. because the fluffy life is unrealistic. Jesus' love during those times keeps us grounded. He makes it real.
Over time, Jesus continues to create us to who He wants us to be...I'm liking new things all the time, like flowers more, photography, soft rock, and artists like Kendall Payne. Long friendships, those friends you do everything with, and have so much in common, and they can just come over whenever.
Through ups and downs, God teaches us, and gives us things to look forward too, and gives us stepping stones to overcome and understand.
then I think, why don't I think of these things all the time, and mess up like I usually do? time to not take His grace for granted. because He gives a lot of it.
I guess grace is like that beautiful flower, that stunning photo, or the "friend that sticks closer than a brother."
and my family. I don't know where I'd be without them. thank you, I love you family. God created us to be together for many reasons. He knits us, you know, Psalm 139.
Just because we make mistakes, now that I think of this, it shouldn't stop us from accepting His grace, and living our lives to the fullest for Him. the little desires in our hearts are from Him, and things that make us smile, He smiles. When we're sad, and when we're angry, so is He. He is compassionate. I'm thankful today for the small, beautiful, and tranquil things in life, that make us who we are, and who He is. and His love. most definitely. Amen God. <3

Issues
You know those times when we come to church and experience You and still sit in the pit?
Yep. Right here.
--______-----
my pit I sit.
Well, what is the reason and root behind being self pity ? Doesn't that produce, legal, and harsh, impatience, irritation, anger,
bitterness, sin, condemnation,and being hard?
What if I just accepted His grace and stop choosing pain? Is it because I make it my security? Do I want to be twelve?
Nope, I don't.
"are we to continue in sin, so that grace may increase?" NO!
Yep. Right here.
