quite the journey.

Today I finished taking the last section of the CPA exam. It's been quite the journey. And I haven't really had a chance to process it until now. {hence the nonexistent blog posts}. I've passed 3 out of the 4 sections {PTL} and I find out if I passed this last one in early August.

My life has been rather a whirlwind since leaving my internship last summer. I finished my internship, left for the Dominican the next day, moved in our new house a few days after getting back to the States, and started my Master of Accounting program the next week. Then it was pretty much go, go, go until today.

This year has been a lot of work and has grown me in unexpected ways. Trying to adjust to taking care of a house, while being a full-time student, and then studying for the hardest exam of my life has been insane. But throughout all the craziness, I've grown to understand just how powerful prayer is.

I am blessed with an AMAZING community of believers who have been my prayer warriors throughout this whole journey. And I wanted to write this blog to say thank you. You guys will never really know how much your prayers have meant to me :) I've had so much focus, discipline, and peace while studying this past year, thanks to your prayers and an awesome God.

So as I'm closing a chapter of chaotic, non-stop studying, and opening a chapter of working in the real world, I feel very grateful and excited. I know that what lies ahead will sometimes be just as hard or even harder, but I'm comforted that the Lord hears our desires and our prayers and gives us exactly what we need for His glory.

Andddd, I'm excited to say that I am heading to Mexico tomorrow morning with my best friend, Andrea, for a week of relaxation before starting work next week! YES. much needed :)
