I often tend to think that I am SUPER WOMAN!
I think that I can do any and everything. At least that is what I keep telling
myself in my mindJ. However, I had a situation happen,
which quickly brought me back to reality. Here’s what happened…
I was taking a class that I
thought was quite interesting when I started. But, that immediately changed
when I was informed that I had to retake an exam at the end of the semester.
All of the interesting parts of the class went out the window at that point! I
took the exam over and I found out that I didn’t pass the second time either! You
can only imagine what was going through my head. I was enraged and I was
disappointed. I felt like a failure and I felt stuck. My professor said that
she was willing to show me areas that I needed to work on and take the exam
again. But, it was hard enough taking the exam the second time. So, the thought
of me taking it a third time was a nightmare!
I discussed the situation with my
director. She told me not to worry and assured me that we would figure out a
solution. The next day my director called me and said, I can either take the
exam again or drop the course. I said how could I drop the course if the withdrawal
date passed? She said I found out that you could withdraw from a course before
the marking period ends. Ironically, the marking period was ending the next
day. After I heard the news you would think that I would jump for joy right?
Well, I was contemplating on taking the exam again. A part of me wanted to
prove that I could pass. My pride didn’t want to be defeated by an exam. But,
my director reminded me that I had given up so much already for that course. She
was referring to the trip that I cancelled to take the exam the second time.
She also said everything that I went through leading up to that point showed
that it wasn’t worth staying in the class. I agreed with her and decided to
drop the course.
You may see this as a loss
because I could’ve passed the exam on the third try and not pay for another
course. But, I see this as a gain because God provided a way of escape for me.
I was smart enough to swallow my pride and bow out gracefully without any
shame. How many things are you holding on to or doing that isn’t beneficial to
your life and God is giving you a way of escape? I promise if you choose the
way of escape you will enter into the peace of God (John 14:27, Amplified). I
have learned that God is the Super in my Natural! If I do all that I can, then He will do the
rest. Therefore, Super + Natural =A Blessed and
Prosperous Life in Christ! ~Don’t be afraid to surrender your all to God!
God Bless,

Scriptures:
27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath
to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be
troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated
and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and
cowardly and unsettled.]
- John 14:27
(Amplified)
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but
God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to
bear it.
- 1 Corinthians
10:13 (KJV)
3 Blessed (happy, [a]to be
envied, and [b]spiritually
prosperous—[c]with life-joy and
satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions)
are the poor in spirit (the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven!
- Matthew 5:3
(Amplified)
