O no no no I aint slow....

Ps. 119:99

I was talking with a friend of mine and they were complaining about their childs learning ability, she said "(child's name) is slow, (child's name) does not know anything".

It got me thinking about my life when I was younger, believe it or not I could not read properly...but Lord knows, I could talk!lol. My mum was worried about my reading level, so guess what she did?...She gave me the Bible to read!lol. Apparently when I started I was reading it I was saying "and Jesus went to the shop he saw a hippo. He bought a sweet and chocolate cake...", basically I was not making any bit of sense! However after a few months my mum saw an improvement in my reading. I got so good that at school I was called to read announcements and all. God is faithful like that. My ability and capability to learn did not just happen overnight as my mum prayed and started putting her faith to action by ensuring I read the Bible and all the classic 1990's book (oops, I am giving my age away!).

As I have grown older I have learnt that people have different learning styles. So here is my mathematical learning style equation: identifying your learning style + applying the technique = super super smart genius! Below are the different learning styles:

- Visual - needs and likes to visualise things (creates mental pictures)
- Auditory - thinks in words and verbalises concepts
- Kinesthetic - processes knowledge through physical sensations

I learnt that I had a different way of processing/learning information. I stood on God's word and studied hard.

I will indeed testify for He has made me wiser than my teachers, not to be arrogant but to show forth His glory.

Finally, I encourage you to always stand on God's word, don't give up. My question to you is do you know and understand the way you learn?
