Results

I received my results today and I was overwhelmed and delighted. I got the highest marks I have ever got in 5 years of very part-time study, whilst I was cramming in more modules than ever before in a term.

God is so good and faithful to me. Every hour that I struggled with my assignments and reading I talked to him about it (using, in the main, the word "help!")

I got 17 for my New Testament studies on the Gospels. (you write three short essays under unseen exam conditions, marked out of 20 and then averaged). I got 18, 17 and 16 which made 17 overall.

In the OT theology class, my three essays scored 16, 16 and 16. Regular readers may know I was really worried about the OT as I struggled with the amount of Hebrew knowledge it felt like one needed to know but as I sat down to sit the exam last Thursday I nearly exploded with joy and praise all the way through as I just knew what to say. It was an exam that felt like worship to the one true living God indeed.

And for my extended placement and research paper, I was marked on an 18 for the actual placement and then 15 and 15 for research and placement papers (I'm always better at the practical stuff; just let me get on with it and do it!) but then that's a pretty respectable 16 overall. Can't remember if 17 upwards is Outstanding on the Common Assessment Scale or "just" Very Good, but I'm chuffed to bits.

Only 3 modules to go next session then its all over!!

    Well done - you're an awesome woman and I just love your persistence and determination. Your 'can do' attitude will be used well by Him and for His glory! You so deserve a well earned break! Have a fantastic time in Toronto!!

  6. Lorraine, thanks for your very kind and encouraging words. Love the "can do" - "spitfire" and "feisty" have also been used in the past which cause me a bit more "hmmm-ing" and close self-examination.
    One thing I do know though, is that I can do nothing much without close relationships with other people; everything I do I do in partnership with great folks and I've been very grateful for your encouragement in recent days.

    I'm desperately praying I find the same thing in the new surroundings. If I even find a tiny percentage of the loving acceptance that I have found in this city, I will be blessed indeed!
    Isn't God glorious and great? He never calls without equipping. He knows my personality as my daddy so well. He knows I love and need nurturing relationships so that I can give *anything* back out.

  7. Congratulations! All the hard work has been worth it and now you can relax a bit!Thanks for the comment - I've been at LM the last two nights in a row setting up the prayer room. It's coming together nicely. I've spoken to M about coffee and hopefully we'll both be in touch to make plans once I'm back.

    Love Amie

In the words of Mrs Doyle in Father Ted, go on, go on, go on........

Leave me a wee message! Only rules - is it true, is it kind, is it necessary?
