I am now in a place in my life where my relationship with Jesus is more important than anything in this world. I am not going to say I do not struggle, but me killing my flesh daily. I am starting to understand the reason God made me. I want to encourage you to stay in God's face and finish the race till its time for us to go home.
To "stay in God's classroom" is a metaphor for actively engaging with God's teachings and wisdom in daily life, which involves immersing oneself in scripture, prayer, and seeking guidance from others, rather than being distracted by negativity or complaining. It means recognizing that life's challenges are opportunities for spiritual growth, and that God's presence and Spirit equip individuals to overcome difficulties and to act as conduits of His love and grace.

Verses on Enduring Through Challenges
Hebrews 12:1: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
