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

q.t

quiet time.

i wonder why it's so hard for me to spend time with a certain someone whom i can fully trust. that certain someone whom i know i can always lean on.

i'm never consistent with q.t (aka devotionals) with God. but with all this free time that i have, and with all these challenges i'm faced with, i know that i can only depend on God. with that in mind, i started q.t a few days ago and man, it's been so good.

there are a lot of things that are up in the air right now. freakin' cpa board is taking its time trying to decide whether or not i'm qualified to sit for the cpa exam. i know that their response takes 6-8 weeks but c'mon! it's 8th week now and i haven't heard from them, nor have they responded to my email. they were so quick to cash in my $100 application fee, and yet they take their precious time with their response. ugh, cpa board. you are not nice at all.

a new challenge has arisen in my life. it seems like it's a battle between God vs. the unknown. obviously, God reigns. but for some reason, i'm still troubled by this battle. or maybe i'm just really weak. hrm.

i wish i can be in control of my life. figure everything out on my own. the only thing that i am in control is, is making sure i spend time with God. and not surprisingly, this part of the day is the only time that i feel safe. that i know everything will be all right.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. -- Proverbs 3:5-6
