Passing the Test

Phew! I can breathe a HUGE sigh of relief! I am so happy that is over. Why I always wait until the last possible second to get things done I will never know. It is in my DNA to procrastinate I guess. But I don't really like to think of it as procrastinating, but more it is like waiting for the appointed time that an appointed task must get done. I would actually like to think that since my deadline for getting re certified was November 2, getting it mailed out by October 31 is like, way ahead of schedule! LOL. And its not like I waited until today to start...so with that being said...PHEW! I am so glad that is done and I passed my test, I got my CPR/AED done in  time and God blessed me with the money to pay for it all. (It is NOT cheap to get re-certified). It is all in the mail, in the mail box waiting to arrive at its final destination.

I can now relax. For two more years I am a certified personal trainer and I can continue to make money. God is so good.

I mean really He is. He never NEVER fails. He always provides and what ever He does not provide you with, is obviously something you really don't even need. Because even without it, you survive.

 So once again I have faced another test of my faith in Jesus Christ. I am finding with each pasting test it is getting easier and easier to rest in Him. I am discovering through things like having to get re certified how God provides each and every step of the way; how not to worry about the future but just take care of today. For example, the first part in getting re certified was finding the right course, for the right price, and for the right amount of CEU's. I couldn't worry or doubt that if I spent money in September, that it would mean I wouldn't be able to pay the re certification fee come November. I also had to pay for the CPR/AED class (maybe I should mention here I live on a very tight budget, I am very blessed to make a little bit of money from home allowing me to homeschool, however, having to pay to continue to make this money was not in my budget) with that being said, God made it all work within my budget.

And even now I am taking a big hit to my budget to pay the ultimate fee. But I have over and above 100% faith in God that He will provide everything I need, and even though this may feel like a hit financially...it never is with God. Because as long as I rely on Him, He will ALWAYS provide what I need. And it is so amazing to be tested and see Him in action.

Even though I wait until the last possible second to get things done, even if I look in my bank account and it doesn't seem possible, I know that with Christ all things are possible and He always gets the job done. So even the little bit of stress I felt working on this was minor with Christ because it was only due to just making sure I passed the test. He provided the money and the way, I just had to walk the path!

And continue to walk is what I have to do. With my head held high and my eyes up! Living a healthy life and being a personal trainer is more  than exercise and counting calories, it is a way of life. A way of life designed by the Creator himself. A design for us to live to our maximum potential, to live out the calling He created specifically for each and every one of us. It is scary at first, but with time you begin to learn to trust and enjoy...and that is the freedom in Christ.

Phew! I am so glad that is over! LOL

Until Next Time!

Happy Friday!!
