Are we Growing?


What we struggle with most is what we eventually learn the most about.

Our natural talents don't require repeated review of what we have learned. In them, we are unconsciously competent. But as we become consciouses of our incompetence, humility, willingness to admit imperfection, opens our lives to growth.

I find purpose in working though the difficult areas of my life, learning as I strive to improve and grow. I see my failings as markers that show me what I can expect God to address next in my life. I see my struggles as my teachers. They are shaping me for HIS purpose. That belief feeds my hope, because I trust his words, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jer 29:11
"143 - 7"

I think you make a very good point in your post. The struggles and challenges that we face on a daily basis are there to assist us to grow into the person that we came into this world to become. If we do not learn from our challenges, than we will fail to see the opportunities that lie ahead of us that very well may assist in our growth and development during the next phase of our journey.
