Moving Forward

On Saturday, November 17th at 4:30 a.m. after dreaming about my results all night, I finally got out of bed to see if scores were posted.  I entered my username and password and then covered my eyes.  I peeked through my fingers, and......I'd typed the wrong password.  So, I tried again, covered my eyes, peeked, and....."Congratulations, you are a National Board Certified Teacher!" scrolled across the screen.  The relief I felt was indescribable...a tangible weight was truly lifted.

Today I am also finishing assignments for my last class this semester, so I'm looking forward to a break for my cognitive self.  This journey through National Boards and my Master's so far has been completely on God's momentum.  I have felt inept, incompetent, unable, unworthy, and completely over-extended.  But my God is carrying me and has blessed me with an amazing support system.  "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord of hosts."
