Today I got a grade back, and boy it was not what I was expecting. Negative thoughts flooded my mind and my stomach dropped. School has never come easily to me, it's actually quite hard. I, of course, called my mom and told her about the grade. I was trying to talk and I could feel the tears coming and my voice was shaking. Let's just say, I'm really thankful for my momma. She gave me a nice stern talkin' to. She told me that school is my priority, I need to get rid of my negative attitude of not wanting to be here, and I need to stop being so darn hard on myself. This was really hard to hear, but it was filled with so much truth.
It is always really beautiful to think about that fact that God made me in His image. It's offensive to Him to think of myself as dumb, because He stinkin' made me this way! He loves me for who I am, and He is there when things like this happen. That's really great!! I just recently read in the book 'Love Does', that Jesus asks us to give up what we think defines us and let Him define us instead. I cannot let my grades define who I am, I need to give it all up to God and let Him define me.
I guess, all there is left to say is that today has been hard. But my mom is really great and snapped me outta my pity party I was having for myself. And God is really great, too.
