Sept 26, 2019 - 7 consecutive failures but what counts is the last one when it is a success. I spent several nights walking through in my mind every intersection, every stretch of the roads, where I need to signal, where I need to stop completely, how many rights and lefts I need to look, when I need to look back, etc. I went out to the car and practiced looking at rear view mirror, then side mirror and turn my body to look at the back of back seat window. I was able to keep my heart from racing during the test because I was focused on the task at hand. More importantly, I felt I had done all that I could and turned everything else over to the Lord. Truly, I felt a calming influence in helping me remember all the critical things that I needed to do. Moreover, movement through the S-curve and the crank seemed to flow, without hitting or nicking any of the curbs.
The examiner who tested me today and had tested me in one of my early tests, said I was night and day between my first test with him and now. I am glad this chapter is over. My High School basketball coach, Coach Berry once remarked, "That Ed Lee, he cries when we lose, he cries when we win." I am older now but still my eyes welled up as I pondered this wonderful blessing that the Lord gave me, to be able to pass this grueling test.
