As a Christian I believe this is the secret to success

[jennifer_bloom]

You have to have faith.

When I first returned to university after a hiatus, I was 6 years older than the other students and had a 1.0 cumulative GPA and people laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a professor.

But I took my school as seriously as your average Harvard surgeon takes his job and I raised my cumulative GPA from a 1.0 to a 3.06 by getting straight As in my last 3 years.

I had 3 different professors who were interested in taking me on as a grad student based on how high my grades were, I had classes where my grad was 27% higher than the class average and I had semesters where I got the highest grade in the class in every single class that I was enrolled in.

The key to my success is that I believed in myself and I believed in God and I believed God was big enough to fix my GPA and that I was able with God’s help to boost my profile.

People have told me many times I have no talent and cannot make it as a writer, but I believe I can become talented by believing in my abilities, in the same way that I raised my GPA by believing in my intelligence. And my goal is to graduate from the best university in the world before I die.

This was how I got through college! I came in not having high hopes for myself and I gave it to God! If you want me to pass, you will make it happen and every class by faith, I got an A or B with only one C during my whole time in community college. Given it's not a perfect grade but I got high honors. And I recently just got my other degree. While saying, it's my my will but yours... And it happens! God makes things happen in amazing ways!

I can do "All" thing's through Christ that strengthens me. In him I move and have my being. Acknowledge him and he will direct thy path. Like a tree planted by the rivers of waters will bring forth fruit in it'd season...

I can on and on how I encourage myself with what he says "I AM" beautifully and wonderfully made.

Beautiful testimony. I enjoyed it.

How do you know the Bible is telling you the truth?

[JEndigoBleue]

How do you know it is not?

The Bible say " For we walk by faith and not by sight" "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." "The righteous shall live by faith." “Faith is the reality of what we hope for, the proof of what we don’t see.” "Faith without works is dead."

With faith, you don't have to see something to know it's real.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."

The Bible tells you "Be doers of the word, and not hearers only" "Faith without works is dead."

If you can believe that you see another day without putting a thought to it. Or, that you will have a job with pay, etc. Faith is just that with God.

I can prove he exist and the Bible is true because I believe and my experience with God keeps me in my faith. I put into action what it says to do. Just like you believe he doesn't and can prove by your experience that keeps you in unbelief. But if you don't put into action what the Bible says to do to see, hear and feel God, you won't. You have to follow the instructions, directions, etc.

Just like making a cake. You're not a Baker, but you believe if I follow the instructions on the box, I can make a cake. Without the instructions, how would you know how to make a cake? Build a car, home, etc. It is all made possible by someone's faith to believe they can do and now because of that belief, you can do it to.

All knowledge and intelligence is given by God to move mankind forward. Whether he believes or not.

You don't have to have great faith. Just the sizes of a mustard seed which is a very tiny seed.

This was not a sermon. Just a thought.

@JEndigoBleue - I don’t have any verifiable evidence that any of it is true. All you’ve told me are things in the book. Nothing can be independently verified.

[JEndigoBleue]

Yes, it can. Do what it says. You study and do what you read throughout your career. In you believe in yourself because you studied and passed a test of your knowledge and belief that what you have read and study will produce knowledge to get a job you have no experience of but a test. But, you believe you can be said person in a career of your choice.

Not just faith but humility and humbleness will get you into sucess

[Meldrum]

Jennifer, you sound a lot like me. I can do anything when God is with me.
