Hi all,
See below for encouragement and hope!
First, my background (in a nutshell) goes like this…. OK childhood, troublesome teen years, and destructive early 20’s characterized by drug dealing and using, and all the trouble the comes with it. Death of friends, law trouble, and the deconstruction of life and relationships.
However! By the grace of God, I got help… I was taught about my true purpose and about God’s perspective of me, which was more important and more motivating than my own.
He forgave me after paying the price that i truly deserved for my sin, He gave me new life, and changed me and everything about me rapidly. This happened in 2011.
In 2012 I was married, from 2012-2014 I completed by undergrad while working full time.
In 2015 I started studying for the exam around the time my first son was born, and this morning I got the news that i passed them all.
A joy and a privilege to take the second chance God has given me and allowing Him to change my course.
So…. maybe your story isn’t exactly like mine but the same is still true…
Romans 10 – If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Give this thing your all and you can and will pass, just remember that your true value doesn’t come from letters after your name, but from a God who knows and cares.

Our value does not come from our skills and abilities, as good as they may be; it does not come from our GPA, our job, a promotion from that job to a better job, our success on the CPA exam, or anything of the like; but our value comes from the fact that we have a Creator who loves us, cares for us, and desires to help us navigate the rough waters of this life in a way that provides security, hope, and true, everlasting joy while we anticipate the life to come, with Him.
