Tick-Tock
Time is ticking... I'm only three weeks away from the first exam day of the bar. I am excited as well as extremely scared. Memories of the previous exam keep flooding my head. I'm not having nightmares of it yet but its hard to sleep at night lately. The other week when I went to church the priest talked of fears and mentioned that our greatest fear is the fear of the unknown. And he's correct. We are all looking forward for a bright future but at the same time afraid of what's going to be there. And this week the priest talked about us sometimes thinking that God doesn't hear our prayers, but He does, only that he doesn't give us what we want when He knows its not best for us. And last night while I was watching Evan Almighty, this line caught my attention ''when someone prays for patience, do you think God gives him patience? He gives him the opportunity to be patient, and when someone asked for courage, He gives him the opportunity to be courageous". Its so true, God gives all of us opportunities, sometimes we don't know that those moments are the ones we prayed for, He just give it to us in a different package. The upcoming bar is an opportunity that is given to me, its going to be difficult again for sure. The next three weeks will be crazy, tempers will be flaring, patience worn thin, and sanity held by threads. I know all of you my friends and loved ones are rooting for me once again. Your prayers and support will keep me strong.

Relax & consider the bar like your final exams thats what my cousin Au told me to tell you. We believe in you n pray that him up there watch over you during this time to have that concentration & motivation that you can DO IT.
Hazel,
I know right now you are probably not sleeping, not really doing much of anything but pacing the floors. It is ok, it is just your way to prep your mind for this exam. I am not going to tell you to relax because I am in college and exams, well they are the one thing that we panic over. And you know what, it is ok...it just means that we care. So you prep how you feel you need to prep. As your family we are here to support you. Let me know if you want me to quiz you or study with you. My classes start back on Monday, but I have already gotten 2 emails from two professors, therefore even though the offical date of class is Friday, I have a feeling this week is the time to dive in. So we will dive in together, okay?
Now 3 weeks, ok got your prep ready? Are you all lined up with your study plan. Being you have taken it before, you will be familiar with the way the test is put out there. This will give you a strong advantage! You are so strong Hazel!!!
Here is a great verse, say it out loud while looking in a mirror. This will help to ease your worries and let you refocus on your faith.
And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
~ Matthew 6:30, NLT
Love Christle
