356 days ago I sat in a testing center facing a computer screen, my stomach was turning. I was still in the throws of a virus that had given me a fever for 10 days and that multiple trips to the doctor and several medicines later was slowly leaving my poor aching body. I hadn't studied as much as I had hoped to despite the amazing chart I had made, I had a horrible cough but for some strange reason I couldn't have cough drops or water in my little cubicle with a camera watching my every move. I did have two freshly sharpened #2 pencils and pink scratch paper. This was it the day where I put my knowledge to the test and then share it with people who would judge me according to numbers on a print out they would be mailed.
I made it through the test, of course talking out loud during the questions cause I am what I like to call a combo learner, I use all the learning styles :) I finished the last question and took a deep breath as the screen read.
"Are you sure you want to send these scores to those people who are going to judge you according to numbers on a print out? Are you really really sure? This is your last chance to bail, you can just get up and walk away and pretend like this didn't happen.... are you sure?"
I was sure, I hit the button and whammo my scores, there they were staring me in the face and they were good. I was happy. I left that place with a smile on my face, hoping that my good was their good and that they would be good enough!
I will never forget the peace that overwhelmed me that day, a peace that I could not comprehend...little did I know on that day, that the peace I felt was just a small glimpse into what was ahead for me in those next months. But I have gathered that stone and have placed it in my collection of all that I have gathered from the trail of faithfulness that my God is leading me on and I am confident that He ain't done yet!
