God Is Shaping Our Characters

Back in November I asked you to pray for my dear hubby's certification test. We've been waiting on pins and needles for the results (at least I have!). We got the news last Friday that he did not pass. I think I was more upset than he was at the news. Since that time, we have been praying, talking and listening a lot. God is good. He is working to perfect our characters and that's what's most important. My dear hubby says that he is disappointed by the results, but he is thankful that the Lord is working in him to have peace. We have grown so much during this waiting time. So we feel that the Lord has answered our prayers, just not in the way we would have thought. We are going to take some time to go away, pray and listen for His voice speaking to us. I am also so thankful for our families and friends who have been so supportive and encouraging. I feel like this is going to be a year of prayer and fasting for our family!

Not passing the test isn't the end of the world, but having that certification is an added confirmation to his practice. He can take it again, as many times as he needs to, but it's a very expensive test, so we'll be praying about that too. We both want to thank you all so much for your prayers. They were felt and appreciated. Please continue to keep our family in prayer as we seek to know the Lord's will for our future. We will continue to praise Him for His goodness, and we'll be praying for you too!
