Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness; That [my] soul may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to Thee forever. ~Psalm 30:11-12 (NAS)
I praise the LORD and bless His magnificent name for HE has been SO good to me!!! Last month, I literally went through hell as I was enrolled in my first summer session of school. The professor gave me such grief and I had arrived to a point where I thought I wasn't going to make it. The pressure was so overwhelming, I honestly did feel like giving up and quitting. But praise GOD, for HE sustained me and saw me through it!
Today, I began Summer Session II and I must admit, I was very concerned. For the last couple of weeks, I had been asking several people in my church, as well as some of my reliable friends, to please pray for me regarding my second summer session. Yesterday in church, the pastor did something different prior to delivering GOD's message. He asked for anyone in the congregation who had a special prayer request to please come forth, so that we might lay our cares before the LORD. I stood up with three specific requests in mind--one of them my summer session.
As I woke up this morning, I pleaded GOD to be with me--to give me strength, wisdom and understanding so that no matter whom the professor was, I wouldn't have to experience another trauma like I did last session. And HE has granted my petition! I praise HIM!!! The professor I now have is amazing--I love her! Not only does the course fascinate me, but the professor is knowledgable and enthusiastic about her field. The course is on one of my favorite domains--testing and assessment of children in special education! This is exactly the reason why I decided to return to grad school in the first place! In the future, I want to administer assessments to children with special needs and learning disabilities--I want to be an evaluator.
GOD has truly outdone Himself today! And I pray, hope and trust that HE will see me through once again and this time around, I'll be able to enjoy the journey... (; Thank You, my precious Savior--I love You more than words can say!!!!!!! ♥
