I remember those days–and the frustration of not being able to firmly grasp a subject even though you worked so hard. Math was the only subject that gave me this issue… not to mention Physics, as a result of that weakness. Still, it was a valuable experience. It was probably the only subject that required tremendous effort on my part. Being in that kind of situation was definitely a valuable life experience.
Oh definitely! Truly!
Couldn’t have agreed more! Definitely made me and those of us who went through something like this stronger.
They say it so true! I’m with you:)
Indeed! π
I think all of us had a D- moment. It’s so good that at that age you resorted to prayer. God loved you then and He loves you know and he was right there to help and teach you a life lesson. That reminded me of Romans 8:28:
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” GOD BLESS YOU! π
Thanks So much for your kind words as well as for the reminder of Romans 8:28. I actually wrote this text to a friend the same day! God Bless You!
The secret is to be your own competition, to strive for self improvement and not trying to comply or meet the expectations society places on us. It’s probably the most important lesson parents can teach their kids, in my humble opinion. And then off course how to pray.
Indeed!!! Thank You so much!!!
You are very wise.
Me, nah! I’m just grateful to be used by the Lord and share π Thank you SO much.
Thanks for visiting my blog especially since it brought me to yours! π
That is one of the greatest Simpsons episode ever! It was that episode that changed my mind to allow my kids to watch The Simpsons. Not only was it spiritually positive but it was also hilarious! I find it often happens that you get something you don’t want but ends up being a blessing in disguise. I took a class in summer school too and found it was much easier to retain what I was learning when you are being taught more information with no breaks in-between. God knows what is best for us.
I totally agree. It was definitely one of the most classic of the episodes. It really hit home with me from when I was a kid. Thanks so much for your kind words!
