Homework for the teens, and their parents.

A good question, what is one way we need to grow? What verses does God help you identify to answer the question? My new years resolutions are:
  1. Praise more, criticize less
  2. Major in the majors
  3. BOLDLY pursue contentment through risk with others to the GLORY of God. 
And the verses given to me to walk this out?  

PUT ON ....Gal 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
PUT OFF....Col 3:8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
Its been a while since the obscene was a problem in my speech, but the rest of it, anger, wrath mailice.....are not far enough away.  Why?  My expectations are apart from the LORDs, I have not learned to be content in all things.  Not learned to learn in all things, and still praying "Lord I believe, help me in my unbelief.
