Thirteen Old Lessons I’m Still Learning

Thirteen Old Lessons I’m STILL LEARNING

1. The longer I allow a sin in my life, the more comfortable I will be with it (illustration: the spider in my bathroom).

2. It’s all to easy to take pride in what I can do, but I should rather boast in Christ (this is also what God was teaching me through Power Camp and at the end of last spring’s semester).

3. Emotions are normal and don’t have to dictate how I behave.

4. I need God daily (illustration: straightening my hair).

5. God blesses me again and again, providing for all my needs (as demonstrated through the fire).

6. God gives me enough time to do everything He wants me to do, it just might not be everything I want to do (learned over and over and over again!).

7. It’s okay to cry…for the right reasons.

8. Being a woman is a great thing.

9. Our Hope lies in Christ alone…not in a candidate or an outcome of a political race.

10. Technology is great…but should not be used without evaluation (this article is what led me to write this paper).

11. We can trust in our Savior who knows what we are going through…because He’s been there (illustration: children who have been blindfolded lead the blind better).

12. My political views should be shaped by my worldview.

13. It’s not about me!

  1. Amen! Great list. Until the Lord returns, we will have to keep striving against the remnants of sin within. Don’t we need to learn these lessons over and over?
