God is good (all the time)

So today was a pretty good day...
-barely squeezed in the A in Lit. I had a 52.5 when a 52 was the cut-off...eek
-got to skip Lyberger's class for Open House rehearsal
-my C in yearbook got raised to an A because of my evaluation!
-Choreo was chill because Coach wasn't there today...
-found out I got into USC

So those are just a few small things from my day, some of the more positive parts. I'm quick to say, "God is good!" and, of course, he is. But, if I hadn't gotten that A, or I had to sit in the most boring class of my day, or I got rejected, would I be so quick? I mean, it's not as if I'd say God was bad or anything for not blessing me with those things, but I feel like I've let all of those things (grades, college, etc.) become too big of a part in my life. I'm not the most successful person, but all my successes and failures...they all don't ultimately end up changing what really matters. I mean we all go through our days, we get this grade or that, we fail at this, or succeed at that. I guess it's just pretty awesome to know that we can fail in the world's eyes and realize that it doesn't change our purpose at all; it doesn't change how much the Creator of this Universe loves us.

Maybe it's just like senior year, and the fact that every senior you talk to is probably talking about colleges or formal, that all this like stuff goes to your head and maybe gets a bit too much attention/ prominence in our life? Anyway, I think i've been buying too much into all the "stuff" of the world, not that it's all necessarily bad, but I guess it's just a good chance to check myself before i wr-wr-wr-wr-wr-wreck myself.

anyway, back to the USC thing... Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!Praise the LORD!
