I had my evaluation yesterday. Afterwards, I sent off an email and I thought --let me just copy it here instead of trying to write again---

I just finished my evaluation for language learning...

I CAN MOVE ON TO LEVEL 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the encouragement I needed!!! I am soo excited, I wish I had a huge sundae to devour.

THANKS FOR PRAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will continue to work hard. the other night, as I was thinking about hope the past few days and asking God why do you keep bringing hope to me, I sensed him say HOPE IN ME that I WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS LANGUAGE IN YOU BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

I first said no way.

Then I said forgive me I don't want to be like Sarah or Zechariah who didn't believe. So, I said, Ok, Lord. Let's do this.

My job is to work hard. Haggai 2:4-5 is my year verse.----But now be courageous, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord, ‘be courageous also, Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and be courageous, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ declares the Lord of hosts. ⁵‘As for the promise which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, My Spirit stands [firm and immovable] and continues with you; do not fear!’

Ok, So, I am taking some liberties with the verses (but you get my drift) so I am to be courageous. I am to work. I am to remember the promise of God when he took me out of America. His Spirit is with me. I am to not fear.

AND...

Is 50:5,7

The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me,
    and I have listened.
    I have not rebelled or turned away.Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
    I will not be disgraced.
Therefore, I have set my face like a stone,
    determined to do his will.
    And I know that I will not be put to shame.

I am in tears, overwhelmed by the goodness of God.

THANKS SOOOOO MUCH FOR PRAYING!!!!
