Never Stop Learning…
My parents
started teaching me at a very young age to never stop learning, and they are
still teaching me that lesson today. They have not just said those
words to me repeatedly, but they actually live it out in their own lives. While
I was growing up, my parents both continued to keep their teaching certificates
up-to-date even though neither of them was in a full time teaching position. I
know Dad went to conferences a couple times a year. They still have that
lifelong learning mentality… Dad still goes to conferences even now in
retirement; he is constantly learning and
growing! I love
that about my parents. And I love that they have instilled that in me.
February is my
month to continue my education...To learn how to be the best pastor I can be. I
will leave February 1st after worship and will be in class through the 15th of
February for my 3rd and final year of residency. (Yippee! If only you could see
Kristin’s and my happy dances.) I will be working
hard, in class all day long and working on projects in the evenings. We
thank ya’ll ahead of time for joining alongside us in prayer. This is a great
opportunity for me, and I thank all of you who have supported me, who have
encouraged me, and understand this important process thus far. You
have been a blessing! We can’t say “Thank you” enough. We greatly appreciate the many people
who are so very supportive!
Did you realize
that we as Christians are
SUPPOSED to be
life long learners?
We are supposed
to continually be learning
and growing in
our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Let’s look at it
this way…Jesus Christ is walking down a road. We have to continue walking in
order to walk with Him. If we stop walking, guess what? We aren’t walking with
Christ. Walking with Christ requires
us to be
continually learning and growing, continuously reading scripture (Day by Day).
Never Stop
Learning…
“Therefore, as
you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him.”
Colossians 2:6
Amen and Amen.
Continue learning and walking in Christ.
Please pray for me/us as I/we do the same.
