Chapter Two: Process of Growing Up

When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.  First Corinthians 13:11, New Living Translation

When I read this verse in my youth I thought that becoming an adult would be a decision made and... BAM... now I'm adulting. But as I look back on my experiences, I feel like I should have known all along that growing up is a process and adulting doesn't just happen, it happens in gradual stages.
