Test results
Just a short note.
Yesterday I got an email telling me the unofficial results of the state ASL test I took last month. I passed 2 out of 3 subtests. I can re-take the subtest I still need next May. In the meantime I’m figuring out ways to prepare myself for it. This first time I had no idea what to expect. Now I do, and I’m very happy I only need to take one part again!
Nothing much else is going on, at least nothing worth mentioning.
There are churches and ministries I’ve heard or read about “problems” with…. that the leadership is not what they say they are, to put it nicely. And yet I hear of the miracles and God’s work being done in the people that attend them. I’m coming to the conclusion that God decides to intervene sometimes “in spite of” the leadership, and works with individuals based on THEIR faithfulness and obedience no matter which ministry or church they are with.
Now, if I could figure out what God is doing in my life, it would help. Someone in church a few weeks ago reminded me of the Psalmist’s reference to the Word being a “lamp unto his feet,” meaning you don’t get much more than the path lit up for you. So we’re not always given a lot of information to go on. So we have to walk by faith not by sight, cuz there isn’t much to see anyway!!!
That is fine, except when there is pain and it seems senseless….
That’s about all for now,

Hi Gerrie,
Sounds like you did really well on your test just have to take one part over how wonderful. One of the teachers that I work for has tried for her masters three times and it cost like $2,000 each time and she has failed everytime. She is one of the best teachers that I know she cares deeply for the kids. She had my daughter in kindergarten and she was at her wedding. She has been at their baby showers etc. she loves them forever. She finally gave up because it just cost to much.
Just remember that the Lord is walking with you and will never leave you just keep hanging on to Him.
Love ya, Darlena
It is hard to only see one small part of the journey at a time. I think that demonstrates God’s wisdom; if we saw more than just a little ahead, we’d most likely not have the courage to get out of bed in the morning, or, if the future seemed more rosy, quickly downscale our need for him. You’re right, though. It is wearying sometimes not being able to peer farther into the darkness.
Hi Gerrie ~ I’m sorry I’ve been so long coming around. I’ve thought of you often; wondering how you are doing; just not been corresponding much at all of late. I’m so proud of you! Congratulations for your great success at the test-taking! You are a winner!
Good post about how God chooses to use — anyone He chooses to use! I am praying for you right now, Sister. I am glad that you are one of those dear Sisters whom God has placed into my life. Love you ~ Carolyn (as she drags her tail, & gets back to creating a test & worksheet for school!

Praise God, far better to study for one test, not three, and you are so much closer to your Goal. I am so proud for you.

Hey Gerrie…
Just wanted to drop by before I head out.. and say that we are still praying for you and to encourage you! God is soooo good ! I agree with your statement that God acts in spite of others. Be blessed.

Hey, friend. Thinking about you today and was praying for you on a wintery walk. I just wanted to remind you that you are LOVED! Look for your Father’s hand of blessing today.
Oh, and sorry you can’t get one of these snow days out there in CA. But then, maybe you get smoke days.
