You learn something new everyday~

I have come to the realization that in life and in this world, we have to keep moving forward. We cant learn something and hold onto it, share it with no one and expect to keep progressing through life. If we do this, we are stuck, we are going nowhere, helping no one and delaying our purpose in life.

For a long time now I have been wanting to witness, to share God with others, but I always had something holding me back. I felt like I didn't know enough to start sharing it with others, what if someone asked me a question I didn't know the answer too? So I kept reading, kept studying and kept trying to learn as much as I could. And then it hit me, I am learning things I have known since I was 8 years old, I am reading the same passages, the same messages over and over again. (There is nothing wrong with that at all!) But I realized that I do know what to say, what to do, and yes, maybe someday someone will ask me a question that I don't have an answer too, but that will only give me reason to study more and learn things I never knew. I was up late last night thinking these things, and woke up this morning to find the book mark in my bible at Hebrews 6:1-3

"Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgement. And this we will do if God permits."

WOW! I read alot more than that, but this really hit me. I already know the "elementary" principles of Christ and I need to be sharing them. How am I supposed to move on to Middle School, High School, College, If I am stuck learning again and again only the things I have learned in Elementary School. And these thoughts lead to other thoughts, and other thoughts led to more thoughts and I just kept thinking and thinking and thinking! And I'm still thinking :) I'm thinking that although I still don't know what exactly I want to do with my life, I know that I want to help other people. I want share with them and be there for them. I don't know if that means being a teacher, and nurse, and counselor or what. But I don't need to know that right now, Im only now in middle school ;)
