Ok, so I am in school and I am taking the hardest subject for me, "College Algebra." I hired a tutor and we started looking at the Algebra book this summer. The previous semester I took the course but, I had to drop out because I was sick. Anyway, so we started looking at the book and it was easy and I understood. I started the semester and the teacher walked in and I thought oh great this is horrible. The man is short and he has a pot belly and he is Asian, in a sense he looks like a Buddha guy. I really am not prejudice it is just that in the past I have has foreign teachers and I could not understand them. This teacher is no different. So I continued to plug along and I tried I studied every second of every minute I had I went to tutoring. The time came I took my first test I froze up and I made a "63". I cried my eyes out, I thought how stupid I was. I was more upset because I tried as hard as I could and still I did not pass the test. Since, then I haven't pushed as hard and I have tried to relax more but I feel like I am trying to give up. I can't give up!!!! I must proceed and do better on the next test.
Likewise, has anyone ever felt like they are trying real hard to do the right thing and then fall? Do you give up and not try so hard or do you press on. We all should press on.

Jude 1: 24-25
To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
Hey Kris,
This has been my experience. I have found that there are few things that I try as hard as I can. I have been successful in accomplishing the specific task that I was working towards, and I have failed in the specific task I was trying to accomplish. Looking back on both though I have realized one thing to be true. When I have ever truly commited myself to accomplishing a task, never once has the effort been wased because I was never the same after as before. Success or failure I have always been stronger, always better as long as I don't let the failures get me to the point that I stop trying. The Lord uses all these things and I lean upon that to keep me from giving up.
