Although during my course of studies I’d learned to let God guide me when I had to choose courses or solve complicated calculations, a certain pride had gotten hold of me. It was an I can do it myself attitude.

One of my favorite things about the Christ is that it helps me understand who I am. It’s funny, but the best way for someone to find out what he or she really is like is to learn what God is like. People aren’t God, of course, but they do express God’s nature. The quality of God is the same quality of God’s spiritual creation—and spiritual creation is the true you and me.
What I remember about seventh grade is finding myself in a new school about five times as big as I’d ever known—I was stumped by algebra, and the girl who wanted to help me get through that class was my only friend. Neither of us were cool, and she didn’t care, but I longed to be accepted by the in-crowd. But every attempt to connect with them ended up in some awful embarrassment. It was a painful time of learning how to make friends and how to be a friend.
