Have you ever sat down in a class or a lecture and you were completely lost? :P or please don’t tell me you haven’t before? :) ok ok! So are you saying that you have never thought that some subject or course was too difficult and maybe you wanted to drop the course or just give up? I don’t know about you? But I know growing up; Mathematics for example has been a problem for many of my friends. Some just say, “as for math I’m not good at it or it is not my thing or it is so so soo difficult. :( Guess what? You thought wrong!!! Yea I know you know I was going to get to that! lol

           For some past weeks in my Spanish class (mind you my second semester leaning- beginner) we have been going through some so many ‘complicated’ tenses – subjunctives, imperative, subjunctive imperfect, conditional clauses – and understanding for a greater part of the class is a problem me included. I almost got fed up with the course and said I will drop the course after my second year when the option is given. I found the tenses so many and so difficult to learn all of them. I even talked to a senior who dropped it after the 2nd year and he said that a greater part of the language was centered on the tenses we were learning. I was so pissed…2 options; either I learnt it anyhow or fail the course. I tried to learn it but I couldn’t, same frustrations over again! I came home last weekend and brought the books with me to study it but had no intention to. During the weekend, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me that He’ll teach me. “Teach me!” I said astonished. He said, “sit down take your books and let’s study.” I had earlier heard a testimony from a preacher who had the same experience the previous week so I obeyed. He said, “relax we are going to this together.” It was amazing it was as if I was seeing different things in my books, I had so much understanding about all the tenses. He taught me and I enjoyed it. If you have the one that knows all, just obey him…clearer and new ways to work things out will come to you.

           What I want you to know and always have at the back of your mind is this ( a quote from unknown source) – Nothing is difficult, it is just that you don’t know how to do it – everything in effect is easy, lack of knowledge brings difficulty. If you want to know relax and learn (let Him teach you). You know why I say relax…

           Just this week I had to teach my best friend, Judith concerning the Spanish tenses because she had skipped a few lectures due to illness and was completely about sea about it all. When I was teaching her, I saw the same frustrations I had when I didn’t know, I told her to relax when she was frustrated. Kept saying relax till we finished. I can tell you that although we haven’t finished going through all the tenses, she’s has more understanding.

           Never think something, course, writing, subject, doing even the little domestic things around, extreme sports, ballet, etc. is difficult. Remember you don’t know how, that’s why? Just relax and learn…everything is easy. RELAX!!!
