If Chocolate Can't Fix It. . . . . .

I have been studying to take the Praxis test which is vital in order to receive my Elementary Education Degree. There are four sections that MUST be passed. I have been taking practice tests and studying. I thought it would be no big deal, but the results of my practice tests were another story. Math was my enemy. I couldn't get half of the questions right to save my life! What was I going to do? I kept studying and took one more practice test the night before the big day to no avail. The thought of eating chocolate made me depressed because I would have to eat a ton and I would still feel horrible. So I stomped out the door in tears with my running shoes and my ipod. I basically sprinted 3 miles while Bon Jovi and the asphalt made me realize that I will not be defined by a test score. I am a child of God! I have been asked to facilitate a group for a parenting class that DCFS is sponsoring. I am a full time student with a 3.8 GPA. I have an amazing husband. I have three wonderful children. I have been entrusted to lead the primary children in my ward. I am a fighter. I will not be defined by a test score!!!! I felt so much better and I went to bed knowing that God knew what I needed and whatever was to be would be. I took the test and PASSED!!!!! I needed 85% or higher on each section. I scored exactly that on the Math section. God was definitely looking out for me and knew what I needed. I am so thankful and so glad that I didn't eat chocolate until I was fat. Running - therapy that works!
