So finally, after a few weeks of processing the all the wonderfull information from the recent pioneer school I thought I'd give you some of my highlights, here are a few one liners I enjoyed:
- View trials as training- what can I learn from the experience, what is Jehovah teaching me?
- Principles are timeless and form the basis for laws
- Humility - our advancement is seen, not by assignment but by what we do with it. Phil 2:5-8
- Never rush ahead of theocratic direction even if we may be in the right - Jesus was a perfect example of humility and obedience of theocratic order Jude 9
- Of all the people living on the earth, only those exclusively devoted to Jehovah have his holy spirit which is more powerful than Satan's spirit.
- Jehovah takes pleasure in those who trust in him and he becomes whatever is necessary to bless and protect his people. Zeph 3:12,13
- Jehovah blesses effort not good intentions!
There was so much more, but I would hate to give away any spoilers away for you who have not yet done the school, but in conclusion I would sum up the whole experience and what I have truly apreciated is found in 3 words at 1 John 4.... God is Love. From the opening addresses to the teaching commitee to the instructors, fellow pioneers, to the love shown to me and of course the FOOD has helped me to see 1 Cor 13:1-13 in action. All thanks go to Jehovah and his son Jesus for this wonderful opportunity. Now to apply and continue benefiting!!
