Sorry it has been so long since I have posted or sent out any updates. Sometimes its hard to keep people posted when I don't know what's going on myself. Compared with the past few months, dealing with school and exams seems so tame! I will try to get something up a little more informative sometime soon.
In the meantime, I need a favor. I know I seemed to drop off the face of the earth last time I asked for your thoughts and prayers. Believe me - they helped so much! My exam results came out in June and I was pleasantly surprised - I passed 8 out of 10 on my first attempt. This is a great result, especially since I was coming from a completely different legal background without the benefit of a local university education. 8 of my 75 classmates made it through on their first attempt and were called to the bar in August. The rest of us will be going for round 2 starting next week.
Which brings me to the favor. Can you please pray for me as I prepare and take my remaining two exams? It being the second time around, it's tempting to go from one extreme to another - the procrastinating "I've studied this all before so it's not like its anything new" to the despairing "I've already failed these tests - what makes me think this time will be any different?"
I've come to realize through my multiple law school related experiences that I am not the greatest studier. Many a time I dusted a shelf or baked a cake just to put off cracking open that casebook. Even now I am typing up a "long-overdue" blog post to avoid my probate notes. I am going to need all the help and prayers I can get to avoid having to ask for prayers a third time over these exams.
I seem so near, yet so far from achieving my goal for the last year of being called to the Zambian Bar. Only two more exams! Probate Law on September 16 and dreaded Company Law on September 20. Maybe then I can done with all this once and for all! Well, almost. I guess if I wanted to avoid heavy dry books, I picked the wrong profession!
So thanks in advance for your prayers. And I would say "Keep you posted", but that sounds a little meaningless after keeping quiet for five months! I'll try to do better.

If God call you to it, He'll see you through it! Keep trusting in Him and I will be praying for you. So proud of all you're doing, I think it's awesome. You look like a model in that picture, too!
