1 Corinthians 11:31

"so whatever you eat,drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

The past few weeks of school have really been a test for me. Our chorus teacher was on suspension for 3 weeks and at the end of the third week was fired. This was very hard for me due to the fact that he has a special place in my heart since I have 3 chorus classes. This man was the one teacher that was always an inspiration and always gave 110% every day. Unlike most of my teachers, he actually wanted tO teach us and loved why he was doing.
When he was fired everyone decided to quit everything they were involved in and for a while I had that same mentality. Over the weekend I spent a lot of time on my knees weeping and praying. I came to the realization that I was in the wrong which of course is what my mom told me to begin with. I realized that as much as I love my teacher I did not try out for all of these things for him, I auditioned because it is what I love to do. This was a very hard thing since all of my friends are planning on quitting and have been voicing their opinions very loudly.
Slowly but surely our family has been ripped apart. We all say we respect each others opinions and decisions but everyone is still against one another if they do not believe the same thing. One of my friends in particular really got her feelings hurt today. She is probably the most amazing Christian high school I know and of course has handled this situation completely right from the beginning. Today a good friend of ours voiced his opinion pretty loudly and was very rude. It really hurt my fried and in all honesty it hurt me to see her get hurt. She was just trying to be helpful and this friend really showed his true colors by coming back with a sharp remark.
All of this to say I have really been digging into Gods word through all of this. I came across this verse this morning during my wuiet time and it has really helped me get through the day today. It made me realize that even in the bad times I have to push through and give me all because everything I do is for the glory of God!
