I wrote this November 17, 2018 and the lesson still remains true.

As Iโve gone through this journey, Iโve shared what Iโve learned. At one point I was writing a blog. There are things I wrote that I now see were not quite accurate. It was only one side of a coin. Itโs ok to realize you were wrong. Itโs ok to admit it. Itโs how we learn and grow. Whatโs not ok is being unteachable.
Thereโs no wisdom in thinking we are right and refusing to back down. Thereโs judgements and criticism we have and offer when we donโt understand something.
There were aspects about leading an assembly I had no clue what I was talking about until now. There are things I was wrong and was unwise about. Itโs like someone who has no kids judging a parent on how they raise their kids. Clearly there are obvious truths that apply to everyone, but there are certain things that shouldnโt be uttered because the truth is, we have no idea. Someone who has no kids needs to be wise about certain judgements and criticism because the truth is they really donโt know both sides of that coin.
Thatโs how I was. Judging and criticizing certain things about pastors and church leaders bc I didnโt have both sides to a coin.
There are truths that remain true no matter what perspective you have, but there are some you have no clue until you actually experience it.
The key is to be teachable.
Listen.
Have a heart that seeks.
I donโt have all the answers. I never will. Iโm ok with that because my Father does and I have full access to go to Him every time I need.
I wanted everyone who takes the time to read my posts to know that Iโm not always right and Iโm not ashamed to admit it – because Iโm always learning and growing.
Iโve had conversations with people who havenโt agreed with me and I do listen. Thank you to those who care enough to share their positions in a loving and open manner.
Jesus has taught me so much. He continues to teach me and I know it will be a life time of learning. Good thing I love to learn ๐ฌ๐
I love you all. Loving isnโt always easy, but Jesus made it possible. โค๏ธ
