So, the picture looked alot better on the internet. I tried to enlarge it, and it just looked bad ... haha. But yesterday at school, something amazing happened from something terrible. Were reading this book in my honors English 2 class, called The Count of Monte Cristo. Im extremely bored by the book, to be honest. But anyways: I was absent three days within the past two weeks, and I was so lost in the book. I am currently about 15 chapters BEHIND everyone else: stressful right? Our teacher makes us take little Senteo quizzes on the SmartBoard every day about th past chapters we read. So yesterday, I didnt read the chapters we were assigned. The girl I sit next to offered to help me cheat, and I agreed to it. Literally, as soon as we finished with the quiz I felt conviction from the Holy Spirit. Then, I felt it from the Devil. I was so angry when the Devil was putting thoughts in my mind: but I was just glad I could figure out it was him. So anyways! After class I went up to my teacher and said: "I'm gonna be honest, I just cheated on that quiz. I have so many things going on right now, Ive honestly had no time to catch up on myr eading. If You give me a zero on that quiz, thats completely fine: it doesn't bother me. But can I have until like, Wednesday to try and catch up reading?" and You know what she said to me? " I cant believe You would cheat on a quiz. I trusted You as a student. Just for that, Your getting a zero on the next three quizzes."
Haha, just kidding. This is what she said: "Well, being honest like that shows a good person. I appreciate Your honesty, and for that I'm going to give You a zero on this quiz and You wont have to take the one tomorrow. Try and catch up reading as much as You can by Wednesday, and let me know what You get done.'' Then she continued to ask me about the things I was busy with, haha.
It was just great that God convicted me like that. Since Two weeks ago Sunday, God and I have become extremely close. Why? Because I have a new passion for him, and Im keeping it alive :)
