How to Jump Through Hoops

So if you ever wanted to know about how to jump through hoops, then don't worry you will get it down pat. One thing in life that I have realized is that sometimes all you have to do is jump through hoops. Today I have realized this more than ever. Currently I am attending The University of Alabama and I am pursuing my Master's degree in Collaborative Special Education (K-6th) and I am on track to graduate December 15th. Well I am certified in the state of Georgia in Early Childhood Education (Pre-K thru 5th) and Special Education General Curriculum (Pre-K thru 12th) Consultative, which means that I am a collaborative teacher. I got an email today that said that I am supposed to take a Praxis test. After looking at these different Praxis test that I need to take, these are the same ones I took in the state of Georgia. I just do not understand why I have to take the tests and why my certificate isn't valid in the state of Alabama. So I am preparing for my GACE Special Education Academic Content area test on August 18th and then I will turn around a month later and take these two tests. I know God doesn't give me more than I can handle, it is just stressing me out thinking about taking these 3 certification exams, starting classes August 22nd, looking for a job, and preparing for comprehensive exams. Just verses I need to remember throughout all this: Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. (Psalm 55:22) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
