There also has been lots and lots of giggles. Mom always said "it was better to laugh than to cry". So I laughed very much, and when I thought I was very happy my friends said I was very stressed. When I broke down in tears after laughing and than laughed some more I knew they were right.
It's over though, the only reminder of them is numbers on my report card. And you know what? Those letters and minus signs do not matter. Report cards get lost and test papers get thrown away, but the Word of God the applied in stored in my heart remains forever....that is if I choose to apply it to my life every single day.
Anybody can memorize for a test. It is only you who can believe in the power of God to work in your heart and life.
Getting a good score on a test does not make me a better person.
Living a life that believes in the power of God to do anything will not be measured by a 4.0 GPA
Living to glorify God in everything will not be measured by a letter grade.
I am glad because in all truthfulness, my sinful self deserves a F.
One day I will give a account for what I have done...
but
I will not be giving an account about my test scores.
10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
I Cor 3
