what if life was like a pop quiz? what if you had to live every day in anticipation, much like a student in school, never knowing when the quiz was or what it was on? you would have to be prepared for everything, all the time.
that is how i feel my life is right now. its as though i go to class, and all of a sudden, pop quiz on patience, or gentleness, or some other virtue i dont have, but desperately need and want. would i pass? absolutely not. god has been giving me mini pop quizzes on life challenges all summer, and i have been failing, time and time again. the problem is, i realize my mistakes, but can't seem to figure out how to change them. there are days when i think i am doing so good, and then god comes along and reveals all my faults and insecurities. its like i tell my little kindergartners "our heart is dirty and sinful. the only thing that can make it white again is the blood of jesus."
hoping and praying for his blood to wash over my sinful heart, and for the ability to pass some of the pop quizzes He keeps sending my way.
if you were given a pop quiz today, would you pass?
