Aquiring Wisdom

So, I have made a decision. I have decided that I am going to learn something new on my own everyday for the rest of my life. I never want to stop learning, and I think I'd get bored if I wasn't trying to learn something new. It may sound a little lame, but this is one of my new goals.

Then he taught me and said to me,
"Let your heart hold fast my words;
Keep my commandments and live;
Acquire wisdom!
Acquire understanding!
Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
Do not forsake her, and she will guard you;
Love her, and she will watch over you.
The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom;
And with all your acquiring, get understanding.
Prize her, and she will exalt you;
She will honor you if you embrace her.
Proverbs 4:4-8

I think that this passage in scripture sums up my goal fairly well.

Oh, and as a sidenote, I'm having a very difficult day today. The Lord is really dealing with my heart, and it is hard. My heart feels very heavy today, and I don't have any energy or motivation to get any of my work done. The only reason I have for finishing school this semester is that I get to leave this school, and leaving means living at home which I'm not sure I'm ready for. This next year scares me and excites me at the same time; however, I think the excitement outways the fear by just enough to keep me going.
-Matt-

I'm so glad you're going to learn something new every day. :-) Just think of how many new things you'll learn- 365 each year! :-) I'm so excited for all God has ahead for you.
