To say I am nervous is an understatement. Next week I take my first CPA test and I am starting to really feel the pressure (and the difficulty of saying no to hanging out with people). With all of these nerves have come sleep issues because my brain won't stop thinking about all of the things I'm expected to remember.
Last night I found myself on my knees while doing my devotions. I felt I needed to fully surrender my time to the Lord. I meditated on some scripture and then prayed for the ability to get a good night's rest. To my excitement, that was exactly what I got last night.
But, it doesn't end there!
Mid-morning I received a call from my Mom saying one of my old scholarship donor's was at Dordt. I immediately got ready and went to say hello to him. All I intended on doing was thanking him again for the money he donated to me. Little did I know, he would later tell my Mom "I just spoke to the Queen!" Yes, he was talking about me. This donor was so excited to hear about my graduation, the job I received, and my studying. He took time out of his busy day to listen to me and to tell me that he believed in me. He even wanted to take a picture with me because he said he cherishes moments like these.
It's the little things. My past scholarship donor gave me quality time to tell me he was proud of me and believed I could pass my test on the first try. Wow. I cannot even begin to describe how it felt. But I do know this, it was just the reminder that I needed before these next days of intense studying.
God always seems to surprise me with the little things.
