And when I watched you passion for studying God's word in Bible Study. And why I was excited to see you enter the world of more full-time learning with A and B (note: I KNOW you were always learning and experiencing together, just seems like to got to break open some new areas together this last year). Before I was the teacher, I was a reluctant, fearful student. To learn something new was the potential to fail or to be bored. What are the pictures called with many lines and colors and you're supposed to see the picture after you stare at it for a while? Learning is like that picture. Before I only saw the intimidating lines, maybe I didn't even look for the picture, I just called it "dumb" and turned away so I wouldn't fail. Now when we study birds, the ocean and crust of the earth, the characters of history, the word of God-my view of the world takes on a new clarity, revealing it's uniqueness, revealing glory. Now I don't mind looking. I know I'm going to see something worth taking the time, worth taking the chance. ( I'm going to ask the girls the metaphor question, I'll let you know the results...)Aimee Guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001409658154042532noreply@blogger.com
