day 28 takes time

Day 28 5/03

Awesome day got to go to church…thanks mum (prayed about this heavily over the week, thank God). And Sydney FC won!! Played for my brothers soccer team, was pushed around like anything, playing under 18’s oh man which was why I left early. Good run though.
Getting geed up for Wednesday and my basketball final, we’ll own them!!!

It takes time, no shortcuts to maturity

While we worry about how long it takes, God is concerned with how strong we grow. It’s all in preparation in eternity so…
Christ likeness is our eventual destination, there is a journey that precedes this that will take a life time

Believing, becoming, belonging

Why does it take so long?

We are slow learners

We have a lot to unlearn

Bad habits that we can’t give up over night… I have many but I’ve kicked off one rather quickly, SWEARING! No more swearing!

We are afraid to humbly face the truth about ourselves

Cannot grow without a humble, teachable attitude

Growth is often painful and scary

No growth without change, no change without fear/loss, no loss without pain

Habits take time to develop

Practicing habits like reading the bible, being nice to others, not putting others down (that’s for me), being tolerant. I’ve been improving, thank God.

Don’t get in a hurry

Believe God is working in your life even when you don’t feel it.

Keep a notebook or journal of lessons learned

Be patient with God and yourself

Don’t get discouraged

Remember how far I’ve come as well, but I have a long way to go

PBPGINFWMY
Please be patient, God is not finished with me yet.”

Verse
God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again.

Philippians 1:6

Q/A

Attitude, my patience, recently I’ve been regretting and worried about my impatient attitude, like…hey how come I’m still like this, after this chapter, I must recognize it will take time…!
Also relating with the Bible, but I am getting more and more out of it these days which is gold.
