Sweet Blessings

My daughter Abby is taking the Dental Apptitude Test today from 11:00 to about 3:30. She has studied a long time for this test. She also teaches science and attends UT (she is still an Aggie) taking Organic Chemestry and Genetics. It would be great if she made the score she needs on the first attempt. Please lift her up in prayer today as she takes this test. I believe in the power of prayer. Pray that her mind will be clear and focused. Pray for the strength she will need to endure the day. Pray that the Form of today's test is the easy Form. That last line comes from a mother's heart. Thank you so much for your prayers. No matter how old they get, they are still your babies.

• Morning! Well, Abby is first on my mind, heart and prayers this morning. I know she will do well. She is so unbelievable. I'm sure others have taken all of the practice tests, but I've never actually met anyone who has. That had to prepare her in addition to her hours and hours of studying. I'm going to put her on the prayer list at my Bible study this morning. Yesterday praying about spider bites and today the DAT! Great to see you guys two nights in a row! Fun to see Bret and Lisa, too! xoxo Patti Seidler
• Father God, I pray for Abby today as she takes this very important test. She has worked hard preparing for the test and I pray you will bless her efforts. Help her to be comfortable and keep her mind as ease knowing you are there with her. Help her to be able to think clearly and recall all she has learned. I do pray the test will be easy for her because of her preparation and your presence. I pray she will score above a 20. I also begin to pray for the committee that will decide who gets into dental school. I pray they will see Abby as one they must admit. Lord, I know she will use her talents to your glory. Amen Carol Tommey

• Hey Abby,
  How did your test go yesterday? I was thinking about you yesterday and hoping it went well. And then last night, Wade even said something about it (which I thought was unusual). So just wanted you to know we were thinking of you. Hope it went well. Take care.
  Love ya,Brittany
• Dear Abby, I had absolutely no doubt that you would shine on the DAT. I prayed during your test that you would be calm and able to show off yourvery best, because your very best is just so amazing. I know how hard you studied. Your success is well deserved. I was watching your mom as she received your call yesterday afternoon. I could tell by the tears rolling off her chin that your scores were fabulous. We are thrilled for you! Enjoy celebrating that this part is done! Love you, Melody P.S. Keep your cel lphone handy. Angel has given me a list of people to call and told me many times that I am to call YOU on my way to the hospital. I'll be talking to you very soon, Auntie Abby.
• We are all still in such a state of celebration. We rejoice with you knowing that God has honored your tremendous efforts. Everyone is so proud of you. You are (and always have been) so blessed of the Lord with your abilities of the mind. You, however, have been blessed onceagain because you also have the focus it takes to channel that gifttowards your goals. I know, when you are a dentist, God will smile every time He sees you use this gift to minister to others. I love you, and now I want you to take care of You! Spend time withErik and just have some fun. Go shopping, cook, visit friends. Inother words "Get a Life!"Talk to you soon. Mom

To my "team",

Mom forwarded all your responses to her "plea for prayer" and I just sat at the computer and cried feeling so blessed to have such amazing people on my side. So many people who don't even know me prayed for me today and that is the most amazing feeling in the world. During the test I sat at the computer waiting for the second half to begin after my break and thought about everyone that was praying for me and how good the Lord is and I wrote at the top of my scratch paper "The Lord is my shepherd - I shall not want!" I truly lack nothing considering the friends and family He has given to me! And the glory is His. Thanks again for your prayers! It sure worked!
