Day 36

Allow me to reintroduce myself, I'm Mel. I'm a new believer in God, and yes, I've been slacking majorly that last few months about keeping up with this project! But, summer is almost here, and I'm hoping that during my time off, I'll be able to just go post crazy (:

Well, I would like to share an encounter that I had last week that just opened my eyes wide the power of God.

So, I'm in Pre-Calculus, which is a year ahead of what Juniors are generally supposed to be. Don't ask me how i got ahead in math, I never have been really super good at it. Anyways, I've been doing fairly well this quarter, I've got a B+ in the class which blows my mind. But I was really struggling with grasping the last few days worth of material and when I say struggling, I mean that I didn't know any of it. But, we had a quiz on Thursday, and so much to my dismay, I buckled down to study, and tried to learn the material. For the life of me, I couldn't do it. It just was not possible. So the next day I walked into class, I swear you could hear my heart pounding, because I was so nervous that I was going to fail the test (which happened to be the biggest one we've had so far), and ruin my beautiful, hard-earned B+ going into the final. But I sat myself down in that chair, and silently cried out to God, begging for him to bless me with calmness, wisdom, and strength, and to help me through the test. That test was the first A I've ever gotten on a test. I know that it was all God, there was no part of me in that.

This just shook me, because I've never had such a direct answer to my prayers before. I've never had something like this happen before, and goodness gracious has it ever opened my eyes.

Maybe next time you approach something difficult or trying, you should just take a few minutes and sit down and ask God for guidance and assistance.
