Is this from God?

For well over a year I have been feeling that I needed to go back to school but I didn't want to go back to school.  My dear hubby mentioned it to me way back that he thought that I should, well I didn't take that too kindly!  "Are you kidding me?  I don't have time, I am too busy, I am too old, I don't even like school, what would I do, and the list went on and on."  Time went by, lots of time...... I have to admit that I did look up our local community college on line and just became overwhelmed with it all.  I have no higher education whatsover!  I even called and made an appointment with an advisor and became overwhelmed again with feelings of despair and I placed it on a high shelf again.....well the Lord would not let me forget or put it up high enough.  I became uncomfortable, hounded by HIM!  At the beginning of this summer I really felt Him telling me to get over there and take that test! I had to take a placement test to see where they would start me out.  I was scared to death...a test?  I will surely fail!! But wait - it's not a pass/fail test.  But still I was feeling really inadequate, I have been out of school for years.  "I can't do this Lord!!" "With Me you can."  So one day I just went, I felt if I didn't I would just absolutely pop.  When the lady said be prepared to be here 3 hours I panicked!!  What??? 3 hours??? I don't have 3 hours of knowledge in my head!!??    I prayed through each question, passage and section.  It wasn't so bad, some of it was coming back to me!  I felt at ease, feelings of peace washed over me... Oh my goodness, God was guiding me!!   
After the test my results popped up!  I didn't do so bad after all. 
RELIEF, JOY, EXCITEMENT swept over me!!
I left the exam room and ran to make appointments with an advisor and a mandatory orientation.
By this time I had already filled out my application to the college and FAFSA (financial aid) forms that was recommended to me by a staff member at the college.

  1. See, you are so smart! It not going to be so bad when you are being tested on what you are taught. Plus you are so organized and I just know you are going to be a great student! Time is going to fly by and when you look back, it is all going to pay off! :)
