The Last Mountain

Well, it finally happened. 

I took the test.

And I passed! Thank you, Jesus!!

I needed an 80 and made a 94, which is quite astonishing considering I'm an old lady who drank more than her fair share of red bull and vodka in college (don't do drugs, kids!).

Seriously, God's been amazing. I've had a number of hills and mountains to climb lately. I had to take a mini-test then a much larger test (that took me three tries to pass...that one was brutal!) and then a probationary period for the online legal transcription company I'm currently working with and then this test that goes toward my certification (I just have the practical exam left to officially get my legal transcription certification).

Every time (seriously you can ask Matt who is just now taking the cotton out of his ears), I've moaned and complained and have felt completely vulnerable because who wants to feel like they're totally ill-equipped to do what God's calling them to do?

And for far too long, I wore the label of "the smart girl" (I mean I was LITERALLY called "teacher's pet" before...oh and also "the librarian," but that was from the employees I managed at my former workplace. Maybe I should stop wearing so many sweaters...). And God's been teaching me that I don't have to be anyone or anything but His.

If He's calling me to this, then He'll be equipping me for sure.

I have that final test left, and I have to get a 98% to pass. It's the practical exam where I have to produce a legal transcript in real time while being proctored. PRAY FOR ME. This will be the last mountain (at least for this particular slice of my life), and I would really like to claw my way over this one. I haven't scheduled it yet (I will once I get enough practice in), but I'll give you a heads up when it's game time.

THANK YOU to everyone who's been praying for me! I am a huge believer in prayer to our Father (surprise, surprise), and it never fails to blow my mind how God works through the encouragement of all those around me.

Time to celebrate by numbly staring into the void for a bit!
