Lessons Learned

I Peter 5:6 (Amplified) "Therefore humble yourselves (demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation) under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you."

I went to Allen Bach's Mentorship camp this week.  I am sad to say that I arrived there thinking that I could get a few "pointers" to help me prepare for the WTEC only to find that I needed to radically change some parts of my swing and my riding - - thank you, Father, for the lesson in humility.  The funny thing is, I  thought last week was the lesson, but it was only the study session!

David Key completely changed my delivery and Al changed how I ride, but if God hadn't instructed me in humility, I would have never been able to learn from Al and David.
