Tests.
What a week! I've missed you ladies! I've wanted to blog since my last post on Wednesday, but there was so much running through my mind: midterms, relationships, life goals and plans, etc. Speaking of midterms, I feel like my life is just full of tests lately. Not just tests in school, but tests in life.
Last week I had three midterms that were trying to get the best of me. Thankfully, I was calm, cool, and collected and didn't let it get the best of me. I studied and prayed, and came out with two A's and one B (a friggin' 88, by the way! Like come on Professor, two more points! lol). Praise the Lord!
But these life tests...whew! They're definitely harder than my midterms. In school, I feel like if you study hard enough, you understand the lessons and you get the grade you desire. Yet in life, I feel like I study... and study... and study. Then the test is given to me with the lesson to follow. Don't get me wrong, I have been passing the tests, but goodness, I feel like I am never prepared for them when they arrive! At least in school, I know what is going to be on the test. In life, not so much.
But I am learning that God is with me in the midst of these tests and He does not want to see me fail. He's cheering me on. All I have to do is run to Him, spend time with Him, and let Him give me the answers. And in those times when He is silent during a test (like NOW), He has given me His Word to stand on and refer to. He really does have all of the answers.
I am not sure this post makes much sense, but I just had to get this out. This blog isn't intended to just document the happy days full of sunshine. It's to also record the struggles I face. I want to look back, and I want ya'll to look back, and see just how awesome our God is. Next year, the tests I have now will be nonexistent. I might just have a whole new set of tests. But at least I can look back on here and realize that I can pass that test just like I can and will pass the ones I have now.
Love you, sis!
