Banana Cream Pie

I'm pretty sure the people in my family and consumer science class think I'm an idiot. Today we took out our banana cream pie (yum) with full intentions to make our homemade whipped cream and dig into it. We pulled it out of the freezer, and... it looks awful. No, I know you think I'm exaggerating, but really, it looked awful. Well one of my teammates made the pie crust, and that seemed okay; the other did all of the dishes and cleaning, and the pie wasn't in a dirty dish, so that was okay, and I made the filling, and... oh. That didn't look okay.
So I start getting questioned. What did I do, did I forget an ingredient, did I measure wrong, did I not cook it long enough? I go through the ingredients and steps in my mind. Sugar, vanilla, bananas, milk, water, etc. So the ingredients were all correct. But how did I measure it. Let's see; tablespoon, teaspoon, dry measuring cup... wait, what was that? Dry measuring cup? But I did milk and water, so...ooh. Oops. I had used the dry measuring cups to measure the milk and water (in case you're not a cooking person, the difference between dry and wet measuring cups are immensely different) and thus, our pie was ruined.
Sometimes we can have all the right ingredients: reading the bible, going to church (Sunday morning, Sunday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night...), having a strong Christian family at home, praying daily... We can have everything we need, but how we use it is so important. We can't measure and use our lives and resources the way we think we should; God's measurement tools are much more useful than ours. If we choose our route, if we use dry instead of wet, if we read the bible but don't use it, if we go one way instead of the other, the pie is going to fail.
