And I was shocked to learn that I had received an A- in both classes! Though, I’m not surprised that I received the A- in Doctrine of God since I got an A- on each of the digests and they counted for half the grade. I am surprised that I received an A- in Old Testament History and Theology 2 since I didn’t do so well in my Hebrew exams and my paper pretty much sucked! Plus I wasn’t really happy with the final.
Thank you very much for all the prayers! I appreciate everyone who prays for me and I was shocked to learn that it’s quite a lot. One of the ladies at church came up to me and told me that she prays for me all the time. It struck me that I must be pretty pathetic that I need that much prayer to do my job 
but then again, I am Reformed and realize that I can’t do anything apart from the grace of God so it makes sense that there are so many people praying that I will learn a lot from seminary and then use that knowledge to teach others (though, I’m kind of dropping the ball right now on the teaching others).

Well, good for you.
And I’m atheist enough to credit YOU for your hard work and effort in your good grades. *grin*
You don’t think God fixed your grade, do you?

It was very simple. God said to your professors that you should get good grades or else, followed by a large lightning bolt splitting a tree outside.
Seriously, obviously you did better than you thought you did.

Clearly, it is God’s manifest will that Michelle should be adjudged just short of excellence.

Thanks, Karen.
“You don’t think God fixed your grade, do you? ”
I think God empowers me to do what he as called me to do:
ESV Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
