Psalm 34:15 - "The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help."

Exodus 14:13-14 - "But Moses told the people, 'Don't be afraid. Just stand where you are and watch the Lord rescue you. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.'"

Even though it has only been a little over a week, we checked online today and got some really good news:

After all of the stress, all of the prayers, Courtnay passed her boards and is now a registered dental hygienist. Thank you everyone for your prayers; God has been so faithful to us during this entire process. I never got to post about the actual exam experience, so I'll talk about it a little about last Sunday.

Courtnay's exam was at 6:30 AM on Sunday, March 9th, which if you'll remember was the morning after the daylight savings time switch. Given that we had to get up so incredibly early for it, we started staggering our sleeping schedules, which helped a lot on the actual morning where we got up at 4:40 AM. The few days before were very stressful, because we really were not sure if Courtnay's patient would pass (that is, if Courtnay's patient fulfilled the correct qualifications) and were just praying a ton that God would cause everything to work out.

So we both woke up that morning and Courtnay headed for SF for the exam and I picked up the two patients (one primary and one backup) and met her there. The process went so much faster than last year, when there happened to be rolling blackouts which delayed the examination process a lot. So this time the process started pretty quickly and Courtnay sent her patient off to the examiners for them to take a look at Courtnay's patient and tell her whether the patient was suitable.

After a short while the patient came back and didn't come with an examiner, which meant the patient was accepted! Then Courtnay called me in because I was her assistant and she got working on cleaning some teeth. She had 2 hours to do it and finished in an hour and a half (after checking and re-checking to make sure everything was off) and sent her patient off to be examined for a final time. The exam sounded like it went well, but they did not give us any indication of how she did, so we just knew that we had to wait and see. We were told that the results would be mailed in 6-8 weeks and available online in 6 weeks. But now we know that it all turned out well! Courtnay got her license number so she is free to go look for a job!
