What class do you enjoy going to the most at school, the one that you do really well in?\u00a0 The class I would enjoy the most would be the one where they teach you how to be a social butterfly I would have gotten straight A\u2019s without even trying in a class like that! \u00a0Too bad that class most certainly does not exist!\u00a0 In high school, we have the privilege of picking a few classes that interest us.\u00a0 However, there are a ton of classes we are forced to take that may not be something we are naturally good at or interested in.\u00a0 \u00a0I am sure there are a ton of classes you could think of that you would love to take; it\u2019s just that your school does not offer them as an option.<\/p>\n
In school, I always had to work really hard to get straight A\u2019s.\u00a0 A\u2019s did not come naturally for me.\u00a0 I did receive mostly A\u2019s but I always wished I would have received all A\u2019s.\u00a0 Then maybe my parents would have been more excited when I brought home a report card.\u00a0 Maybe then, I would have felt better about my academics compared to other students in my grade.\u00a0 In high school, I truly felt tons of pressure to keep up with the smartest students and get straight A\u2019s.\u00a0 I am very thankful that our Perfect Teacher above does not get discouraged with us when we miss an A here or there.\u00a0 Our Teacher in Heaven is pleased when He looks down and sees His precious students using their time wisely, studying hard, and doing the absolute best work they can do, bringing glory to God always!<\/b><\/p>\n
I love when Ava reminds us, \u201cThe Father promises that although you may fall temporarily, He will never let you stay defeated.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0 \u00a0It is so true!\u00a0 If we have done the best we could and still receive anything but an A, we do not need to let our own disappointment get the best of us.\u00a0 We do not need to live in defeat over anything other than A\u2019s.<\/p>\n
We learned in today\u2019s lesson that we must be strong and courageous and do the work, even the work we may not enjoy.\u00a0 I believe the work that we do not enjoy doing we should pray about.\u00a0 Think about all of the subjects in school that you do not enjoy one bit.\u00a0 Ask God to help you find interest in those subjects.\u00a0 He can turn those not so interesting classes into the ones we wish existed!\u00a0 We have the power to pray to God to help us concentrate on tests, and help us to use our time wisely as we study.\u00a0 Let\u2019s thank God for His presence in every aspect of our life\u2026even school!<\/p>\n
When we set high expectations for all A\u2019s or feel the pressure of expectations others may have for you, please remember this simple truth: \u00a0If you fail to reach those expectations you will only fall into God\u2019s open arms full of comfort, love, and strength to get back up and try again!<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 God may watch you fall but He will always help you up again.\u00a0 You may not reach all A\u2019s but with God\u2019s help you will reach a lot more A\u2019s then you would without Him!\u00a0 When you work your hardest at school for God, even if you do not get an A on paper, God sees an A for your best effort!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s Pray:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Lord, I thank you for helping us at school.\u00a0 I pray that as these girls go through the pressure of getting straight A\u2019s that you help them keep their focus on doing their best for you\u2026whatever grade that may be, in your eyes their best is always an A.\u00a0 Help each one of these girls to rely on you for help.\u00a0 I pray they are strong and courageous and desire to work hard always for you in everything they do.\u00a0 Thank you Lord for allowing us to learn new things every day!\u00a0 We love you and praise YOU, Amen!<\/em><\/p>\n Love, Diane<\/p>\n *********************************************<\/p>\n For the A Daughter\u2019s Worth<\/i> Bible Study, you will need the book, your Bible, pen or pencil, a highlighter and a quiet place.
