Something I need to remember

25."Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26.Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27.Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ? 28."And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31.So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32.For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33.But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Real Estate!

I've not told a lot of people that I am working on getting my license to sell Real Estate with Jonathan. I've mostly been scared that I wouldn't pass the test. In the past I haven't done very well when I have to focus on "school" and work at the same time. I finished my required 60 hour test May 13th and the first available time I could take my state/national exam was June 11th so I was also scared that I wouldn't retain the information!

Saturday morning I took the test and there are 2 portions to the test…the state portion is 45 questions and the national portion is 90 questions. I got through both sections in about an hour and a half (did I mention the room had NO AIR CONDITIONING) and I finished the last question, it said you are done, if you would like to review your questions you may do so or if you are done, please press “END”. I hit end. It asked me “are you sure? If so, Please type “YES” in the field below and press enter”. I did that and my computer died. I went to the proctor administrating the exam and told him what happened. He looked confident that he could retrieve my results but tried a few things and couldn’t get it to work. He called tech support and I heard him say “oh she’s not going to like that.” I started to cry. He said I would have to complete the entire test again. My results had been lost when the computer died. the test administrator said he was very sorry and if I wanted to take it on another day I could but I would have to pay for the test again…I said no, I would take it again I just needed a moment to compose myself. I took the whole thing again in less than 30 min’s because it was all the same questions in the same order and everything. The computer told me that I passed and I went to the room where the test proctor was and he said he was so glad I passed because if he had to go home and tell his wife that he made a pregnant woman cry that he would have to sleep on the couch for a few weeks. I told him I’m just going to tell people I’m so great that I passed the test in less than 30 Min's!

I just have one more class to take and then I can apply for my license!  I'm really excited because passing this test was the biggest hurdle for me.  I hope I'm able to help Jonathan grow his business!
