Natalya~week 21~Learming

There are so many people we can learn from. Our Parents first and foremost. Speakers, books, films, friends, and yes, even siblings. ;)
This photos were taken (some by me, some by others) at the Sufficiency of Scripture conference December 2009. (so they're old, yes)
Anyone recognize these people? ;) From L-R: Me, Esther, and her sister Amy.

My dear friends! Kristen (left) and Susan. Kristen was born with one eye blind and the other eye partially blind, but it doesn't stop her from smiling all the time. :)

I managed to take a decently good photo of one of my favorite speakers there! Paul Washer of Heart Cry. This man's words (which are FIRMLY founded in Scripture) will change your life. It changed how I thought about a lot of things, including the cross. His massages made me cry, and want to dance. :) There was always total silence during his lectures, and cheers after them. One time after he had given a two hour lecture instead of a one hour lecture, he said "I do not apologize" because what he said NEEDED to be heard. I know I was a stronger Christian after hearing that lecture. I hope some of the others in the group were too. You can listen to and download (for FREE!) all the lectures from the Sufficiency of Scripture conference here. (Not only Paul Washer's talks, but also all the others!)

Also at the conference was Kevin Swanson, who happens to be one of my father (and everyone else in my family's) favorite speakers. Don't forget to check out his lectures too. :) His talk about education was especially insightful.

I guess this probably sounded kinda like a promotional post, and I guess in some ways it was...but there are SO MANY resources available to us to help us understand scripture, learning from what others have already learned.
My mom told me a story a few days ago about a man who wanted to work at a bank, and the bank owner said: "I have an open space, but you have to be able to make good decisions."
The person applying for the job replied: "How do you learn to do that?"
"By experience."
"And how to you get experience?"
"By making bad decisions."

And how do we get experience without making bad decisions? Learn from those who already made them for you. :)

Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Let's learn righteousness now! You with me?
