Working on yer Weakness
Do you avoid weakness in your life or do you try to improve it?I used to be the prior but now am the latter (well, at least if I am aware of it). For example, I have always wanted to do a small triathlon but could never do so since I am a terrible swimmer. Anyway, instead of avoiding it, I've decided to take swimming lessons at the Y and have improved on my technique. Now, I just need to practice until I can swim 1/2 mile.
Another example is I used to avoid playing sports w/ people who are better than me but now I do seek them out so I can become better, tho I tend to lose most of the time but at least I'm improving.
Now, if I can just start memorizing Scriptures.

If you want to memorize scripture join a Bible Quiz team. While in BQ I memorized the gospels of Matthew and John, and the epistles Hebrews, 1 and 2nd Peter, Philemon and parts of Galatians, Ephesians, Colosions and 1&2 Corinthians.
I never would have believed that I could possible memorize so much but the team kept me going and I did.
Mercy, they're teaching you to float, right? You can make a half mile swim in eight 100 yard increments if you know how to float!
Placing yourself under a godly mentor is also a good way to strengthen weakness. Someone who can see your weakness and help you build yourself up as a godly man.
