learning

If you know me, I have to talk things out to process them. Today I decided to process through writing, which is mostly my preferred method. Here's what came out.

Learn: to gain (a habit, mannerism, etc.) by experience, exposure to example, or the like; acquire

I am learning:

I am learning so much I can barely take it all in.

I am learning my role as mother is demanding, exhausting, the hardest thing I’ve ever done. At the same time it is God-given, joyful, rewarding, and requires me to depend on Jesus every second of my day. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

I am learning I am commanded to respect my husband. This is God’s best and His design for me in marriage. I need to do it better.

I am learning God has given me gifts to use for His glory even when it’s not comfortable for me.

I am learning how to depend on the Lord in good circumstances.

I am learning how distracted I am by the things of this world.  Thank you God for revealing these things to me one by one.

I am learning God is patient. God is faithful. God is love. God is consistent. God is holy. God is sovereign. God is righteous.  I am not. Therefore I need Him every second to be these things to those around me.

I am learning to continue to press on to maturity in my faith, all the while remembering and being changed by the power of the gospel which is the basis of my faith.

I am learning it’s not about me. I consistently remind myself of this.

I am learning His timing is perfect.

I am learning He knows best. Always.

I am learning what God desires of me through prayer.  I can’t wait to continue learning in this area.

I am nothing without Jesus.

I am so grateful to a perfect God who has chosen to teach me about Himself. I desire to take what I am learning and work it out constantly in my life. I hope I continue to learn for the rest of my life.
