2+2=5?

What a humbling day it has been for me today. I cry out to God and ask Him why? Why can't I pass the Praxis I Math TEST? I have taken it 4 times and each time, I get better but the latest test, I missed the mark by two points! At this point, it is an anxiety issue. Therefore, I am not allowed to start my student teaching this coming Tuesday.

My Dean at UOPX has and is supporting me the entire way. She has arranged for me to attend a testing seminar on March 17th where I will be given a detailed study program in order for me to pass this test. With Gods grace, prayers, and my knowledge, I will pass the next one. Student teaching will be this fall.

What kills me, inside, is that I will not be able to walk the pomp and circumstance with my group this May. I will be there though - Cheering each one of them on. With hugs tonight, they said, they will be there for my walk in December. Thank you friends - I love you!

Don has been so supportive of me. He has done nothing but wrap his arms around me and give me those encouraging words that always seem to work. I love him so very much. Thank you My Love.

During this time, I am reminded of Ecclesiastes 3 - A Time For Everything. I thank God for what He has done for me. I cry out to Him with the question why? I rest in His hands knowing that He will pull me through. I have worked hard for four straight years with no break becoming a collegiate only to be detained by one test. God....It is up to you now - Give me the knowledge and take my anxiety away. Through You, I will prevail.

Keep praying friends, there is a time for everything.
