Growing up, people would always say "You learn something new each day.". Well; I am learning that it is true. The word New, means "lately coming into knowledge, fresh or unused, unaccustomed, or recently/lately". So it doesn't necessarily mean that you have never before heard something but that it has now finally become knowledge. And the word Learn means “to gain by experience, to become informed of or acquainted with". So really the new thing I/we learn is just some fresh information. Or it can also be something that we are unaccustomed to that we gain by experience. I don't believe that when you hear something you learn it. You learn it once you can apply it physically or mentally. You learn it once you understand it. I also believe that everything happens for a reason, and that we come to realize things on certain days for a reason. So everyday I will be sharing with you the new thing that I learn or realize, hoping that you can learn from it as I did.

Feel free to comment or even post about your own realization or new thing that was learned.

The Signs We Miss

So I am home all day today because I am sick and I ended up watching a couple of movies with my siblings. My little sister and I watched Anastasia which I haven't seen in a while now. There was a part where Anya is sitting in the snow and she looks up to the sky asking for a sign. Right after that Pooka (the dog) pops up out of the snow (obviously the sign she was asking for) but she looks at the pup and tells him to go away because she is waiting for a sign. How many times do we ask for God to show us something, to show us the way for school, marriage, or work and He gives it to us and we bypass it not even noticing. I think that when we ask for a sign to also ask for the open eyes and heart to see the sign.

    Agreed. I accidentally left a comment as Brenna because she was signed into Google and I didn't realize it. My bad. But this is my comment...and so was the one I left under her login.
