The Grass Isn't Greener

Oh, you know...important life lessons and all that jazz.

I is tired. And my hair is very mane-like. Hmm.

Nice. :) You made it to the next part of your quest. All right, for this video, the lesson is simple. Just like she says. You are blessed. Acknowledge it! Don't waste your time complaining when God has given you so much! Live life with the purpose of moving forward and serving God, not looking back at what could have been different or better. Ok, you've lasted this long, Let's go to one more video. It's by kluschei and it's a Live Hillsong video called "You Hold Me Now."

@JoEmily744 AHhhh is this some sort of scavenger hunt? BEST IDEA EVER.

[lifein2011]

@JoEmily744 That is so amazing. Seriously. I adore that so much!

agh. grass is greener on the other side? Yeah, I'm under that mentality an awful lot. If I'm not reminiscing on the past and wishing I were there, I'm wishing for the future. It's so freaking hard to be content where I am and to just be happy! I don't know how to end this. but geez I wish I would live in the moment more and be more productive.

[lifein2011]

@lidiluvu Right with you! I have a really hard time living in the moment and being content. I was totally preaching to myself in this video, haha.

I am very constant on my favorites, and also on my choices. I know I'm blessed. I hardly ever complain. But I envy people like you because I want to do better as well and sometimes I forget that. So thanks to you I am a little bit mad at myself. I promise that's a good thing.

[lifein2011]

@Rosenrot0eme Oh dear, I'm not sure being mad at yourself is a good thing, haha. I get hung up on that a lot. Maybe just accept that you have more time to grow and start working at it? I can't really advice you about it, though, because like I said, I do that all the time.

[JoEmily744]

@lifein2011 Thanks. :) In one year, I'm going to get an email that leads me to a youtube video where I have to find a comment I left a year ago. It will lead me to the next video where there is a message, then another video with another message, until it takes me to the last video where the message has me open a book on my shelf to a certain page and read a note. :) I think it's going to be very fun.

So I don't know if you've realized this or not, but in the past hour you've been receiving a lot of comments from me. xD I just decided to go through and watch all your videos/listen to all the songs of the day. And along the way I've had a lot that I wanted to comment on, so... yup! x3 kthxbai! :D

I'm content to where i am. It's normal to want things or do things. that's why you gotta work for them. anyway all we got is time so enjoy what you have and strive for what you want.

working with kids is so rewarding don't you think?

[QtLibby09]

THANK you for these videos. Seriously. So good.

I saw a link to one of your videos on FB! I'm a homeschooler too :) I think it is so cool you are doing a video every day! Go girl! I was really excited to hear you mention Good News Club! I have gone with some friends to a GNC on Mondays before- perhaps it is the same one? Is it with CPC? :) Blessings to you!!
