My good news--- I finally passed my qualifying exams! Thank God for His grace and mercy! Despite all the hardships and delays, trials and obstacles... Despite the let downs, despite the naysayers, despite the lack of resources, etc...God has always put others in place who are willing to help and to sacrifice, who are willing to offer moral support and encouragement... I now offer Him my joyful thanks and continue to pray for His guidance for all that will happen next. Thank God for everything; for pulling me up when I was down, for helping me stand up on my own, and most of all for helping me believe again. Thanks be to God. Yey!
