Being teachable is being able to allow yourself to be taught through lessons in life. I think being teachable is one of the most honourable excellence a person can be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-58737326067120309212009-01-13T11:48:00.000-07:002009-01-13T11:48:00.000-07:00Julie: You're so right, asking God to search you ...Julie: You're so right, asking God to search you and reveal the areas you need to grow.<BR/>Laurie: I can identify with you but I also have found that as we are open to grow, the Lord will peel back the layers. I learn new things from His Word when I thought I already knew that.<BR/>Debra: Great point about being surrendered. I find that I may think I've surrendered something but it keeps coming up.<BR/>Sandy: Pride rears its ugly head again. It happens to me too. I love that you wrote that you desire to be more teachable. That's a good start.<BR/>Beth: Isn't it funny how our husbands would answer that question?<BR/>Lori: Patience will be my next post, my friend. We think we learn something and then God shows us differently. <BR/>Shawie: I'm so glad you visited today. That's great that your husband sees something different in you and desires that for himself. Only God can truly reveal Himself to your hubby but you may be a wonderful example to him.Debbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-42754042362356285152009-01-12T22:11:00.000-07:002009-01-12T22:11:00.000-07:00one of the hardest part that I'm having right now ...one of the hardest part that I'm having right now is when my husband kept telling me "I wished I had the same kind of faith, peace and serenity"... I know exactly what he meant coz I've been there but it's just a lot harder to explain... I tried and tried but maybe this whole thing will offer me a whole different kind of lesson and I believe in prayers:)Shawiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146990145975942152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-28538748741510669612009-01-12T20:44:00.000-07:002009-01-12T20:44:00.000-07:00You know if I read this before this weekend I woul...You know if I read this before this weekend I would have said "yes I believe I am teachable." But God showed me I have to have my little tantrum, cry many tears, and THEN I am teachable. Why can not I get it in a simpler fashion? <BR/><BR/>I always joke that God teaches me in object lessons. I don't "get it" unless I have experiences it. Lord help me, when I pray for patience. I am to scared to pray for that, ha. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for this timely post.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948942744273864364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-1828657886550117632009-01-12T12:24:00.000-07:002009-01-12T12:24:00.000-07:00I think I am teachable, but my husband may say dif...I think I am teachable, but my husband may say different. Ha. <BR/><BR/>I would DEFINITELY HATE to learn a new language at my age. Well, "hate" is the wrong word. It would be challenging to say the least!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for asking this question.

But so often rather than looking at others and their different methods and ideas as a way to learn, I find myself judging them for not being like me. When people want to show me a better way, I get defensive and strive to be understood.<BR/><BR/>All rooted in pride.<BR/><BR/>Yuk.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to be more teachable than I am, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Great post!<BR/>SandySandy @ The Scoop on Balancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382966038522662787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-6973205396711126492009-01-12T11:14:00.000-07:002009-01-12T11:14:00.000-07:00Debbie,I think to be teachable you have to be in a...Debbie,<BR/><BR/>I think to be teachable you have to be in a constant state of surrender. I sometimes think I've got this teachable spirit and then all of a sudden...bam...out of nowhere I find I have not yielded a part of my life to the Lord. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad for those moments when the Lord shows me that I have not surrendered something to Him. And He patiently brings me to that knowledge...and I become teachable again. <BR/><BR/>Great thoughts my friend. May the Lord keep in us a teachable spirit. It's a great place to be!

It's interesting you should ask about this now. I was just praying about it yesterday, during the sermon at church as I found myself so busy evaluating the accuracy of what was being said (perfectionism can be a sign of pride!) that I wasn't learning a thing. Oh, Lord, I want to be that broken teachable person again.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for asking a difficult question.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-20301031864539880142009-01-12T08:06:00.000-07:002009-01-12T08:06:00.000-07:00I think this is such a wonderful question. I real...I think this is such a wonderful question. I really believe that we may not always know the answer. I love what David says to the Lord,<BR/>Search me and know me... that would be my prayer on this very topic. I feel like I am teachable but really the Lord is the one who reveals the areas I may not be.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing my sweet friend. You are such a blessing and an encouragement.<BR/><BR/>Have a blessed day!<BR/><BR/>JulieGod's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243305583073144169noreply@blogger.com
