Perseverance Counts
Written by Philip Codington on April 16th, 2009Classes are hard right now. I’m trying to keep my head above water with tax and intermediate accounting 2. It’s been frustrating not getting the grades that I feel like I’ve been working for. My dad reminded me of an important truth yesterday -
God doesn’t make mistakes. We learn our best lessons through disappointments and failures… Persistence is key – not necessarily making all A’s.
It was encouraging to hear.. and reminded me that my responsibility is to work to the best of the abilities and skills that God has given me. That is what I am to be held accountable for. And that’s what I’m striving for.. to be all that I can be and do all that I can do with what God has given me and with where He has placed me.
phil, that’s neat…dad has told me something really similar to that before!
way to go, dad!! that’s right……(that is one reason that i like history so much, philip, because i can see what mistakes people have made in the past, and i can see if they learned from them, or if i can learn from them.)
