Life Lessons with Brennen:
a.k.a.-- a post to quiet my mind.... so much going on in it right now :)

• be who you are. pretending or "watering down" yourself does nothing positive
• be the best you while doing this, don't make excuses for ungodly behavior by saying "this is how I am", be Godly and be who God's called you to be. 
• love people limitlessly. give them grace. if you are wrong in being frustrated/angry- make it right. 
• show and demonstrate mercy. 
• cute clothes really do make a difference in your day
• stay thankful for the things in your life
• win. win. situations- in every aspect of your life
• try new things. try things you aren't good at. it's always fun learning about it.
• find the unique things about people and help bring it out of them. encourage uniqueness.
• smile. there is nothing better than the feeling of a true and genuine smile on your face.
• have fun in life. there's a time and place for everything. immaturity can be allowed sometimes ;)
• take time to invest in people's lives. get to know them. 
• talk less than other people. (I need this written so I see it all the time)
• live out your passions. if you find something that makes you come alive- don't abandon it. 
• love yourself and who God is molding you into

God is so beyond amazing. I am so glad that hope and peace are a part of my day. I am so thankful for what God is doing and am beyond excited for the things to come. 

I love Jesus. Yes, I do. I love Jesus. How about you?
