I know what you mean about being humbled. Trust me I know. I would love to meet other Christians and the things you are talking about. I just want to grow to my fullest potential and see what I can do.. I don't know I just feel this calling inside of me..if that makes sense ..i quit school when I was 16..i wish I was more educated..its pretty tough..That be a process, a daily decision to humble yourself and follow the Lord.
I know about being afraid, putting things off...countless times I found myself
repenting and getting back to doing what I should be doing for the Lord.
Where I use to live when I was younger... I was always around many racist
people...in our neighborhood, at school etc.
Being godly around racist people brought me a lot of persecution...going to high school was torture for me, I wanted so much to stay home and not have to contend with all the bad stuff day after day.
I'm thankful for having a godly mother who showed me how to keep on walking
through the fire...education was what I needed to get ahead in life.
My own mom dropped out of school and I saw how the lack of education really hindered not only her but us(her own children) it was enough to make me keep going back to school day after day.
Escaping poverty was my goal...I was determined not to let the bad stuff going
on around me keep me from getting that diploma, I'd learn to drive a car (my mom didn't know how to drive) and so with the Word of God hidden in my heart
I reflected on it often while my enemies came against me at school.
I often prayed while in school and recited bible verses to myself as this helped me to get through the day. In my purse I carried a tiny bible and would often read
it after completing an assignment in class.
I'd make a few friends who were like myself, poor and not accepted by our peers.
We'd eat together at lunch and give each other encouraging notes as we passed
one another in the hall (changing classes).
As a believer I think it is wise if we connect with another believer/believers, we
ain't to be in this alone.
We should partner up and support one another.
It'd be good to have prayer partners and mentors who live where you do.
Accountability and support are key...having someone or having several people to keep you grounded/focused and supported is of great benefit.
