Miracle on Britford Street

It's FINISHED!

I am SO excited!

The LORD has heard and answered my prayer!

My assignment on the book of Isaiah is officially DONE and IN THE MAIL!

May the Name of the Lord be praised!!! He has worked a miracle for me this week and I am so grateful!

My goal all month has been to finish Isaiah by the end of February. (Since I do correspondance studies, I set my own deadlines.) However, on Monday of this past week, I approached my schoolwork rather dismally. I still had 26 chapters to write an exposition on, and my track record up to that point had proven that I took about one hour to complete each chapter. I knew there was no way I could log 26 hours this week on school work! I contemplated tossing my self-imposed deadline out the window, but finally decided to just buckle down and work as hard as possible to at least see how much progress I could make.

And I prayed. I begged God to somehow, someway help me complete the work by February 28.

Well, He did! Due to the fact the chapters 40-66 are so familiar to me (compared to chapters 1-39), I found that I could complete my work in half the time it had taken thus far! The Lord encouraged me greatly this progress and I took hope that maybe...just maybe, I could actually get my work finished by the end of the week!

Sure enough, by 11:00 p.m. on Thursday, I leaned back in my chair with a deep sigh of gratefulness. The last sentence had been written; the last verse quoted. I was done!

Today, my mom and I proof-read every page one last time and then into the mailbox it went!

I can't tell you what a relief it is to have brought closure to this assignment that has been in the works for five months! I was so ready to have it complete - and the Lord has made it possible!

Now, it's time for a little break (and maybe a little blogging!) before my next assignment arrives in the mail. :-)
