firsts

i gave my first quiz today.

...it was a disaster.

so now we go from here, and i re-think my teaching strategies and think of ways to get the kiddos to pay more attention.

at first i was frustrated. very frustrated. and then i thought about it on my nice long 46 1/2 minute drive home, and i thought "no. this is good. the only way i can get better is from learning from the disasters!"

thank the Lord that He has put His own better attitude in me than leaving me to be negative in my own!!

Every teacher / trainer / learning professional has one of those moments. You have the right attitude about it. God is constantly allowing us to "mess up" so that we learn from our mistakes. Romans 5:3-5 is a verse that I refer to often in my own life (especially when it comes to work!):

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us
