Choosing your Response

This week I had an issue in my finance class. The teaching assistants had double graded my paper and took off double points. NOT GOOD! So my initial reaction was to cuss EVERYBODY clean out about the situation. But God had told me on Sunday, "Stay committed to me and I'll see you thru times of transition". So I became silent about the issue, didn't complain or voice any opinion vocally but in my head I wondered what the outcome would be. Then today March 4, 2010 I went to see my teacher in expectation of just correcting the 15 missed points but my teacher pointed out other grading errors and I walked out with 35 total points added back to my assignment which took me from a F to a C-. Now I wonder what life would have been like if I had of chose to cuss and fuss and not be professional, or better yet what damage would have been done to my Christian witness. I may be the only Christian that my teacher meets and I refuse to give God a bad name based off of how my emotions rage. God Thank you for your calming peace, that speaks LOUD when I'm in Silence.
