relieved

the struggle with the cpa board is over. and now the battle between God vs. the unknown (that i had mentioned in my earlier post) is finally over. these past few weeks when my patience was running thin, i was unable to sleep and eat properly. oh gosh, that sentence sounds hella dramatic (fyi: i am not a drama queen).

however, for the first time last night, i was able to sleep so peacefully. and it felt so good.

i'm so grateful that i have finally learned how to first turn to God when i'm faced with challenges. but i must admit, it's kind of hard. my impatience usually gets the better of me and so, i want to take things under my control and make up my own answers and solutions to my problems. but in the end, i realize that i know nothing.

during my qt tonight, i came upon this verse: I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. -- Psalms 34:4

even though we often become really impatient with God and tired of waiting for an answer, take comfort that He WILL answer. and there may be times when we don't like how He answers our prayers because it may not be what we want, but always remember that He has His reasons and no doubt, His reasons are waaayyyy better than our foolish desires.

phew. i'm so relieved. relieved that i can sleep. i can eat. no need to think about these struggles anymore. all i'm thinking about now is.... thanksgiving and christmas break! whee. yummy food. good company. home sweet home :)

cpa. it's on!

after waiting and waiting and waiting... i finally got a response from the cpa board. i am now approved to sit for the cpa exam. which means... i need to start studying NOW. i can't believe i'm saying this, but i am so psyched to study!! after having so much free time for the past couple of months, it just feels soo good to know that now, i''ll be doing something productive with my time. mann.. praise God. YES! :)

i'll be taking a review course for the 4-part exam starting in january. so, for the next year (plus more but hopefully not), i won't have a life. oh man, it's going to be hell. but.. i know it will be worth it :)

sigh. finally, finally. this particular weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in a song. -- Psalms 28:7
