Test..Test..Testing…123

Life certainly has a way of testing you..they even say God will test you. I often wondered why God, being All-knowing would test anyone? Simply because he already knows what we are going to do and how we’re going to do it… when and where. He even knows before we do…so I have come to conclude that being “tested” is more about us and for our good. Remember being in school? We’d have a lesson on a particular subject matter that was always followed by a test on Friday. And of course we were admonished to study for it.
Well the teacher knew the answers to the test, but it was important that we know the answers as well, in order to pass to the next level or lesson. By being tested it showed our strengths and weaknesses, it showed areas that we needed to improve in… it showed how well we were listening and our ability to retain, recall and apply. More importantly, the testing prepared us for life, for the real world.
I had a little test today… almost failed it. I could have responded positively or I could have reacted negatively. My first emotion was not a good one cause I really wanted to tell somebody off. You know, give’em a piece of my mind..lol. Until I realized that what was happening to me was going to happen to me over and over again, due to no fault of my own but that of human nature.
After calming myself down, trying to figure out the answer to this test that I almost failed, I switched gears and opened up my facebook page for no particular reason…so I thought. As soon as I logged in, the first notification on the page was from a long time friend of mine who I haven’t seen in years. It was short and simple and it read.. “JUST DO WHAT YOU DO”… That was my answer to my test!
And so I decided at that moment to release those negative emotions and thoughts and just do what I do. That test prepared me for what’s to come and that answer was twofold..it show me my weakness, but it also made me stronger. I can’t control what others do, but I can just do… what I do. Smile with me
