How exciting, Kelly! You’ll have to show us some of your artwork this fall. Whew, I don’t think that’s a class I would ever sign up for, so I leave that part of the art world to those of you who know what you’re doing and enjoy it. πŸ™‚ I’ll just enjoy your results.

How wonderful that you learned to speak Spanish fluently! I have to believe that living in it is the best way to learn it. Although I’m sure you still had to be intentional about it. Amazing. Thanks for sharing this with me, Lori, and for hosting Moments of Hope each week!

I just signed up for an online painting class to begin when my twins start kindergarten in the fall, I’m really looking forward to learning something new and recently realized that’s part of what I like so much about writing – the continuous opportunities to learn.

What a great point you make! I spent years taking German classes in school. I learned, but it was difficult. I never got comfortable with it. Then I moved to Arizona and started spending time in Mexico. I became immersed in the culture. Without a class under my belt, I learned to speak fluent Spanish. I had to backtrack to refine my skills with the “head knowledge” for reading and writing, but the toughest part was learned in the trenches. It changed me. I love using that in context to growing spiritually! Thank you for blessing me and thank you for sharing hope with me each Monday at Moments of Hope!
Blessings and smiles,
Lori

You’re welcome, Chizobam. I’m still pondering it too–how to practice what I preach! πŸ™‚

MMmmpphh!!
I’m going to be pondering on that one all day.
Thank you so much for sharing this article.

You obviously retained some of your Spanish, Heather! πŸ™‚ And I’m proud to say that your words fit into my 15% vocabulary. ha. Yes, practicing is a whole other issue, regardless of what we’re talking about. I’m much better at studying, but studying must serve a higher goal.

I love this the most, David: “My faith that Jesus loves me even so helps me pick myself up and beam out love to others, instead of dwelling on my failings.” Beautiful. May we all take that attitude with our failures instead of condemning ourselves for them. Hanging out with “native Christians” in the virtual world makes a difference for me too! Thanks for sharing.

God bless the Spanish teachers. πŸ™‚ My Spanish teacher in high school wasn’t a native, but married a native so she spoke it fluently. She was a very good teacher; I just wasn’t a good retainer of what she taught.

I know you’re a learner like me, Michele. So much out there to know! πŸ™‚ I have to be satisfied with never knowing it all, but discerning which are the important things to practice.
