learning...

Sometimes, it's hard to not allow myself to get into a certain mentality. I am learning so much here at missionary training school, and I am so very thankful how much God has opened up my eyes.
With all I am learning though, at times it is hard to balance that, I see these people and I God think...wow...there is so much that they need to know about God, I want them to know! I think all of that and I forget, just how much they have to teach ME about God. He has made these people in His unique creation and there are so many different aspects of God that i just simply could NOT see on my own. it is just so beautiful how different we are from person to person, from culture to culture. Our God is so big and we can't put Him in a box by any means. I was just really challenged yesterday as I was sitting in church.....i want to keep reminding myself of all of that. Every time, you think you are going to be teaching someone something, 9 times out of 10 they are going to be teaching you. They always tell us that we need to go in as learners, and I definitely try on cultural things and language, but the God aspect I don't always. I just love thinking about all the characteristics of God and how we are all created in His image. I just don;t want a little of God, when there is so much more.....
