Word To Remember

1 Corinthians 7:37

But whoever is firmly established in his heart [strong in mind and purpose], not being forced by necessity but having control over his own will and desire, and has resolved this in his heart to keep his own virginity, he is doing well.

Growing Up Types Habits that Hurt



"Adult Wisdom – Stay away from social habits that lead to addictions especially the ones that seem fun like food, alcohol, drugs etc.” It presents itself as fun and it seems like fun but the result of any addiction is devastating. Do not join those who drink too much or gorge themselves on meat. Monarch caterpillars feed on milkweed, if they become addicted to some other plant they will not be able to finish the metamorphosis process. The milkweed arms the butterfly with the bitter taste from the milkweed that will protect the butterfly from predators; because they hate the taste.  It would be tragic for the butterfly if it became addicted to a plant that tasted good to its predators just for the fun of it.
 
Never say to yourself "that won’t happen to me", you have to wait and see. Why take such a great risk just for fun. If you know anybody that is addicted to anything they probably said it will never happen to me.

Growing Up Types: The Newness of Life

CV White Quote: " To wait and see is easier if you can see the required wait"

"Adult Wisdom - Once you become an adult you may find yourself having to grow out of bad things (habits etc.) and into good things. Don’t be discouraged, keep growing. Take a lesson from a caterpillar, it looks like a creepy crawly worm but it knows that this state of its being is just temporary ,so at this point in its life it has to try not to become food for another animal during this time; because in a few weeks it is going to become a beautiful butterfly and there will be no characteristics of the worm left." Can you tell what kind of creepy crawly worm-like caterpillar this butterfly use to be? The answer should be no, and that is good, because when you understand your new place it won't be long before you are there.
