Personal Growth

[Alex_Olijar]

I feel like this is the only thing I ever ask prayer for, but I can live with that I suppose. I'd appreciate some prayer from my redemption family for my spiritual walk and decision making. I have been making some poor choices lately with my senior year of high school about how I treat people and how I view myself. It would be extremely beneficial to get this out before college next year with God's help. Thanks.

Alex.  I dont want to cause you problems with pride but the fact that you are aware of this and are spititually sensitive to this already puts you light years ahead of most of the mouth-breathing nimrods in college.  To be honest I have always thought of you as an extremely mature person, especially so in the past year.  We may not always agree on things but you have shown incredible maturity and tact in your responses, Fantaastic depth of insight in your responses, and a personal nature that has shown much more compassion and grace in the past year. 

So while everyone needs prayer for continued spiritual development, dont sell yourself short.  God has done great things through you already.

I also commend you for having the maturity to be able to see the flaws in yourself, admit them, and want to work on them to become the person God designed you to be.  I will pray for you, but I highly suggest that you don't try to work on these things alone.  Get an accountability partner.  Make it someone who is a good enough friend that they will ask you the hard questions and will risk your anger to hold you to the line.

Thanks Matt. Ironically though, one of the issues I mean is pride.  . Don't worry about causing problems though. Those are the kind of things I want to be known for. Thanks for your encouragement.
