Blessing

I couldn't have planned it better! It was a long day waiting for the results of my test. 4 weeks to be exact, but the day of waiting seemed longer. 15 hours I had been up waiting for the results...posted 5/11/2012 at 10:00 pm.

There are thoughts of why I did it this way, but chose the mail option and it didn't come, and so now the waiting was longer for internet posts. The day got long and dreary--even with a nap, and a drive around P-town.

Fears and doubts started filling my mind. Though songs on the radio kept pointing me towards Him. He is faithful and no matter what happens in life, He is always there.I am reminded of the special prayers sent up standing with my Dad, and what a blessing it has been for him to pray me through the 3 tests.I love you Dad!

This morning's advice was to understand that "He will silently plan for you." I was still trying to soak that in all day, and figure out what God was really going to do today and how I would see the blessing.

HE will silently plan for you,
His object of omniscient care;
God Himself undertakes to be
Your Pilot through each subtle snare.

He WILL silently plan for you,
So certainly, He cannot fail!
Rest on the faithfulness of God,
In Him you surely will prevail.

He will SILENTLY plan for you,
Some wonderful surprise of love.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
But it is kept for you above.

He will silently PLAN for you,
His purpose will all unfold;
Your tangled life will shine at last,
A masterpiece of skill untold.

He will silently plan FOR YOU,
Happy child of a Father's care,
As if no other claimed His love,
But you alone to Him were dear.

(E. Mary Grimes)

Well some wonderful love came my way, just when I was in despair of finding out results home alone, all in a quiet house--ready to cry, or rejoice! He is faithful!

Thought this was a joke, till I opened my front door and saw such a wonderful blessing. Thank you Lord! I was just about to cry not knowing what held in just a short time. And here is a friend who cares so much--to celebrate no matter what with me.

10:10pm...results are official online---and I Passed! The APT test is passed. Oh, I'm more than shocked at the fear that I held onto for so long is conquered. I cannot thank enough all of you who have prayed, and encouraged me to keep striving for this degree! It has been a blessing and amazing to watch God work in ways I never thought possible. My heart is full of thankfulness for you!
