Week 10

This week, in the life of George Whitefield, I learned how he worked hard for himself to study. He was a hardworking person to support himself in his studies and humbled himself for being in the lowest rank of a student in his school. Another thing I learned is from the life of William Carey. I learned that in spite of all the challenges in life, it is not an excuse to quit on God's calling to you. I learned on how to be firm on the decisions that had made and also accept consequences.

In my college life, this is the first time that I worked while studying. I was guilty because when I was first year, I really did not want to work because of the laziness that I would always feel. I did not want to wake up early and clean but I did not have any choice. I had to do it because my parents needed my help for the payment of my tuition. Sometimes I will not study hard because of my emotions that did not like to do something and just lay down and sleep. It was that I was not that hardworking person that will really work for myself because I tend to depend on my parent's financial support to me. When I was also in fist year in college, I was not firm of what I had decided. I tend to always change my mind and it was not a good attitude because I have to be firm sometimes. It is to help me not to have a weak decision in my life. I also tend to give up on something that I think I cannot do it or make it. I tend to quit and just wait again for the nest opportunity where in I am confident to do it. It was also my tendency to give up on challenges that I faced because I could not take it anymore. I was guilty of being so weak Christian.

There were some actions that I can do to apply these learnings that I learned from this. First is that I have that to work hard but this work that I'm going to do must have joy in doing it. I will also take it as an opportunity to help myself and also my parents in financial matter. I will also practice of having strong conviction on my faith. Especially if it will be tested someday with some of my friends who have different beliefs from me. I will take challenges in my life as an opportunity to grow and to do better performance next time instead of quitting form those challenges.
