Got Tagged?

OK, I got this awhile ago and thought I wouldn't do it, but then figured people must be interested in these or else they wouldn't be continually popping up everywhere, and I do enjoy reading other people's tags, so I figured I would go ahead. So, thanks Carrie- I will try not to steal too many of your answers, but you really had some good ones so I will probably steal some!

8 Things I Have Learned From My Past:
1-When you don't feel like praying, pray anyway- that's when you need it most
2-When the Lord directs you to be somewhere/do something, even if you can't understand why, you need to trust in Him and have faith to do it anyway, even if it is the hardest thing you have ever had to do
3-When you feel all alone, you are not; you will never be left comfortless.
4-Live life for the moments- love the journey, not just the destination!
5-Don't take yourself too seriously- be willing to laugh at yourself and your mistakes, and move on!
6- Most people want one simple thing: to feel loved and/or valued.
7-I am a lot stronger then I give myself credit for (I mean emotionally/spiritually- not physically- I am absolutely not strong physically...)

8 Things I Currently Need or Want: (I don't really like this question, because I feel that Ben and I have been so incredibly blessed, and I can't complain AT ALL- so, consider these all just whimsical musings and they are all WANTS- none of them are needs, so hopefully I won't sound too selfish!)
1-Time without Ben or Aud to just do whatever I want without worrying about dinner or poopy diapers or anything else (that sounds mean, but all of you moms know what I am talking about!)
