Finally!

Well....ITS OVER! I took my certification exam today and although it was VERY long (it took me about 5 hrs), I feel pretty good about it and really think that I probably passed. Last night I read a verse in 2 Corinthians that said simply..."My grace is all you need"; I totally felt His hand on my today!! Thanks for all the prayers! Please continue to pray that I DID actually pass and that my scores will come in soon so we can close on the house. (They are supposed to be posted online no later than Dec 31st.)

We move into the house on Sunday!!!! God is good!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Moving....and Studying!

Well I thought I should post an update on all our house craziness. Basically our lenders won't let us close on the house until they "know" that I will be able to start my job as a PA (i.e. they want to be sure I will be making money). So that means they won't let us close until after I know that I've passed my PA certification exam. So....since us and the sellers were already planning on moving they are letting us go ahead and move in as planned, lease it for a couple weeks and we'll close as soon as I get my "passing" score on the exam. I graduate Sunday (YEA!) and then take the PANCE (PA National Certification Exam) on Friday the 19th. Then the movers come to move us in on Sunday the 21st!! The scores are available online and should be posted before Jan 1st. Its all pretty stressful but we're super excited about being in the house! But...it is all riding on me passing that test....the house, my job...all of it is riding on one test. I know I'm ready and in my heart I know I'll pass but it still make me very nervous. PLEASE, PLEASE keep me in your prayers as I study for this test. I know I'm ready and I know I will continue studying until next Friday comes, but pray I will stay calm and allow God to take care of it all! I would greatly appreciate the prayers...especially next Friday!!!
