Blog Post Challenge #3

Who was it this summer that taught you the most?

When one of my fellow bloggers suggested this topic for a blog post I loved it instantly. So I thought and thought and thought and you know what? I couldn't come up with an answer. I could come up with sorta of answers but none that I really felt rang true. To be honest I still can’t. There is not a single person from this summer that sticks out as someone who taught me 'the most'.

I guess you could say God but is God really 'a who'? I really don't know. I personally don't think He is. Besides God is always showing and teaching me. Either way the answer doesn't feel right.

Part me wants to say myself. But that feels like cheating and egoistic. Even though it is kinda of true. Once again I feel as if summer has taught me a lot about myself, how I react in situations, what I deem as important, and so on. Still using myself to answer this question feels as a tap out and I do not wish to tap out.

I guess as I think back over the summer I would say that I have learned a thousand different lessons from different people in my life. Some of the lessons were intentional others just happen.

From a pastor I was reminded to remember to let God do the judging and all I need to do is the loving.

From a leader I learned that hugs are great gifts.

From a coworker I was reminded to laugh at the silly things.

From a friend I was showed me how much words or lack there of can hurt.

From a customer I learned how much a simple act can make someone's day.

There are those examples and so much more.

As I wrap up this post I remind myself that I have yet to truly answer the question but it's the best I got so… but I am glad that I spent sometime in refection of what I have learned in these past couple of months.
