What I learned during 1st year high-school

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness...
(2 Timothy 3:16)
The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; I have come so that you may have life and have it to the full(John 10:10)...And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His Purpose.(Romans 8:28)
A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.(Proverbs 19:11)
Many are the plans in a man's heart; but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.(Proverbs 19:21)

             These are some of the special verses that really became a part of my 2010. Until now I will always remember how 1st year high school is one of the toughest page of my life since only now have I experienced doing so much activities my whole life! It was definitely hard to cope with since I am a very timid, indoor-type of person but so much happened this year that made me feel more confident in myself. If I were to tell you all that I've learned this year, This post couldn't hold it all. I can't believe how time flew so fast and how much I grew in the past year - 2010. It was as if it all happened just yesterday, good thing I wrote the things that happened through out the year in my planner.
            There were a lot of trials and circumstances, friendships built up, and spiritual growth through reading more of God's Word. Through God's Word, I and my whole family have overcome certain unexpected changes in our plans. I am glad that God took care of me, when I was hurting, when I felt lonely, when I needed a shoulder to cry on, when I needed someone to listen to my rants, for someone to celebrate me for my accomplishments and hard work. I'm glad He was there, and showed me His works in my life and helping me get through my first time as a high-school student.
            More and more of His love is shown to me and my WHOLE family (my spiritual and physical and school) and just as the days go by, it gets more hectic, but what small faith we have if we falter easily in times like that! It is just how God works in our life. He gives us responsibilities as such and He wants us to overcome it with Him. Simply, this is just what I can say I learned this year...To be thankful to God for whatever comes in our life. Unwanted or not, it links to His great purpose and His plans are to make us prosper, giving us hope and a bright future as well. One more thing I would like to add is it wasn't ever easy to be Jesus' disciple, but it's that one job I am proud of having, and I want to ask you, what's your status in your relationship with God this year? I hope you too grew as much as I did or even more. Thank you for all that read my ancient posts, I've loved imparting a little bit of what I had and have learned.
