Wow..The greatest lesson is a tough one because I’ve learned so many lessons! Spiritual ones and other ones..like the law of gravity..learned that one a bunch of times:)! I think I would have to say the greatest lesson I’ve learned so far is a spiritual one. God has shown me over and over how many people are watching me and how my actions can affect more people then I think. Several people that I respected and looked up to made some big mistakes, and although they probably don’t even realize it, they impacted me in big ways. It’s made me realized that I need to be careful about what I do and say because I never know who it’ll impact. And especially now with Cheerleading, a lot of people are watching me, and how I act is going to influence more people then I will probably ever know. I have been learning that although I’m not in any stated leadership position, I need to be leading with my actions and attitude. A positive attitude gets a whole lot farther then a negative one.
God has also taught me so much about His love and grace..so many times I wonder how I am going to make it. Maybe I’m going on very little sleep, or I have a huge test I’m not as ready for, or I have some friend issues, or someone makes a negative comment to me..God’s grace is always there. I am amazed sometimes at all the ways God provides. I have fallen in love with my God this year..and it’s a feeling I never want to lose. As I watch my friends with their boyfriends/girlfriends, God reminds of His love for me..they may have the affection of a sinful human, but I have the love of my heavenly father..I am confident He will never break my heart. So, as the year continues on and my schedule gets increasingly busier, I am glad that God’s grace is sufficient. And His love is never-ending!
I’m out..
