What Millie's Learned in June 2013

1. Vinegar works surprisingly well on bathroom fixtures.

2. We can glorify God in our failure and our repentance - perhaps glorify him the most when we are the weakest.

3. Just this: that God didn't save us to stand on our own two feet, and we can't earn anything, because we already have everything.

4. I don't even understand Taylor Swift music videos.

5. Taking six kids to the park is an exercise for one's head counting abilities!

6. That, at nineteen, I can already look back at a past with nostalgia and regret.

7. Keep an eye out for slippery bags of potatoes that just might fall off your shopping cart in the grocery store parking lot and have to be brought to your car by chivalrous, middle-aged men.

8. Eating snow crab is like life - it's a messy business and sometimes you get hurt, like crab shell in the thumb, but there's nothing better.

9. I'm a people pleaser. Yes, I am.

10. Don't let anything prevent you from wearing sun hats on the beach - even if you're bundled in sweaters and there's nothing but clouds for miles.

11. Five year olds think that even housework is fun when you're at your grandmother's house and two year olds think that vacuuming is a game. (*evil auntie laugh*)

12. Life is a constant measuring of grace I don't deserve.

  4. Nelleke: Not all lessons learned are exactly blog material. :)

    Bluebelle: Taylor Swift videos just come across as kind of strange to me. Like the one where she dreams up a whole life story after seeing a cute waiter...:P

    1. *laughs* I suppose I can understand that. Some of them are a little strange, though I personally like most of them. :D I think that was "Mine", wasn't it? Oh well, to each her own in this case! :P

  5. I don't really remember what the particular song was called. As you say, to each her own. I actually do like a few Taylor Swift songs, but music videos just in general usually leave me confused. :)
