Oppression

On Monday night in class we discussed a book titled Pedagogy of the Oppressed.  I have to admit that when I started reading the book I was lost.  But when we discussed it things became more clear.  I realized that my biggest Oppresser is myself.  Even sitting in class I kept talking myself out of joining in the discussion.  Then the next day my Brother in law talked about it in his devotional.  I love that God is showing me this and showing me ways to overcome it.  I know that I may never be a great public speaker or say super scholarly words, but I know that I am doing what I have been called to do.  I also view the way I treat and talk to my kids differently. 
The book may have been a difficult read, but after hearing the discussion on it made a lot more sense.
