The Actor posted the following on his Facebook:
Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. - Gal. 6:9
I'm encouraged that he posted that...we are struggling mightily to not become weary in doing good (that would be writing essays for AP classes). We turned a corner on attitude, but it's still a mind-grinding load of work. He gets weary of doing it; I get weary of trying to be the understanding supportive mom and not slip back into the role of being angry when he doesn't do it the way I think he should.
He's got to find his own voice. Even if he turns in the essay late, if he writes a really good one it will pull his average up. Not as much as if it had been turned in on time, but up is up.
The key for him is to not give up until the good essay is written...the key for me is to not give up praying for him and encouraging him to do his best work.
But these late night efforts are making me tired enough that my ears are ringing.
Thank you, Lord, that as he makes the shifts in his mental gears to grasp the form of essay writing they will get easier for him.
