Advice from 25 year old!

Ok so in a little over a week I'm turning old! LOL Well only 25 but that halfway to fifty!!!! Crazyness!! I'm having a "midlife crisis" not really but it really been a weird thing for me lately! I've been freaking out for weeks. Well I guess it because for 2 years I don't really remember so I think it snuck up on me!

I awhile back I decided to put all that I have learned (still learning) down and call it my advice. Well most I didn't make up but I learned it and try to daily apply it. I've been through a lot in my life but have no desire to tell my "sob" story! God has been way to good to me! So here it is Jacqui's Advice on life! I have lived a long happy almost 25 years now!

  • When you ask how someone is doing, make sure you listen to their response.
  • Take a moment to stop and look up at the stars.
  • You’re Never Alone.
  • Wish on shooting stars, but turn them into prayers instead of wishes.
  • God will never give you more then you can handle, sometimes He gives you just enough to break you so that He makes you stronger and show you that He is your strength.
  • Count your blessings especially when you are feeling down.
  • Do something for someone for no reason at all.
  • Give some of your time to children; they will be the ones who will take care of you when you are old.

  • With every piece of advice that you receive be sure to filter it through the Word of God.
  • Do not judge another; you haven’t walked in their shoes before.
  • Find out what True Beauty is and apply it to your life.
  • Never give up.
  • Hold true to your values.
  • You can’t believe in others if you can’t believe in yourself.
  • Being Beautiful doesn’t have to be painful…try keeping a smile on your face while wearing painful shoes.

  • Give when no one else is looking.
  • Stay clear of work politics.
  • Even the smallest amount of kind words can shine the brightest.
  • Forgive.
  • Wounds and Scars can be the same in many ways, they tell a story, they show suffering and they can be all different kinds of wounds and scars. They also can be very different; one shows that you’re still in pain the other shows healing.
  • A sacrifice you make might be a blessing to someone who has sacrificed also.
  • Never loose hope, it maybe right around the corner.
  • Be spontaneous, be full of surprises.
  • Time spent in prayer is never wasted.
  • There certain sounds in life that can’t be expressed in words, like the sound of a child when they do a belly laugh, or the first time the words of “I love you” are utter by a true lover, or the sound of the last breaths of a loved one.
  • Don’t let the busyness of life get in the way what really important in life.
  • Be respectful.
  • Try as you might but family will always be family!
  • The sweetest sound to another’s ear is their name.

  • Live a life with no regrets.
  • When you fall, remember to get back up and keep going.
  • Wear your seatbelt.
  • If life is like a roller coaster, then hold on tight, scream loud and never stop laughing!

  • There are no “if” in God’s kingdom!
  • Think twice, speak once!
  • Try to count the stars!
  • Oh and don’t forget to smile!

Jacqueline
