Five Minute Friday: Growing

It has been a few weeks since I have participated in five-minute Fridays. My goal is to get back into taking five short minutes and write--oh how I have missed it.

Growing

"I don't wanna grow up" is something that I have tended to say a lot since being on my own. I am beginning to have the "joys" of paying bills and resposiblilites for five year now. I look back at when I first moved here to now and see how much I have grown--some of it has been hard--tears shed-some of it has been easy. I am thankful for the many opportunities the Lord has given me to grow in many different ways.

1) As a teacher who came to VCA with no idea what to do....and never taught a class before. My first year of teaching was a nightmare---many tears shed. How I went from being high-strung and upset easily to a teacher who is more confident (but no too confident) about being able to effectivelly do my job. I went from being stubborn and "I want to do it on my own attitude" to having a teachable spirit.

2) As a friend who, I admit, was stubborn and selfish to someone that does my best to listen and be the friend I should be.

3) As a lady, somone who wants to be "full of grace and beauty" and honor God

4) As a Christian- seeing the Lord bring me through the mountains and the valleys--seeing how He provides and encourages

I am still growing and will always grow. P.B.P.G.I.F.W.M.G (Please Be Patient God Isn't Finished With Me Yet)
