Passing Tests & Moving Forward

Ah yes! I was whining about 'not hearing God speak to me' yesterday.
But this morning, I heard what I needed... I passed a big test, Simmy thought.
So, who do I ask if they think I passed it as well?
I know, having the opinion of God should be good enough! Oh but wait, by the testimony of two or three witnesses... isn't that Jewish?
It will have to be a person I trust... so, construction son, it is!
Dialing the phone...
"He...ll...o," he answered in a welcoming voice.
"Whew! My timing is good, too!" Simmy mouthed.
"Just this morning, I had the thought about what I had voiced a year ago... you know, when I always want to know what everyone has planned for the year, etcetera."
"Okay..." construction son was being cautious.
"Remember how I said that I felt the year would be a year of proving that I can love people who have way more than I have, financially?"
"Ye...s," the cautious tone encouraged.
"Well, how did I do? I want an honest opinion. It's going on the blog but don't answer in a way that will just make you look good. Answer honestly!"
"Well, you refused my offers of 'I'll pay for it' quite a few times," he said.
"True. That could have been pride or guilt. I don't know which one," Simmy said. "Anything else?"
"Well, you were normal, like any other year," he said.
"Oh, thank you! That is the most wonderful thing to hear," Simmy grinned. "I felt I was hearing this morning that I passed that test... being surrounded by people who are financially wealthier than I and still managing to love them all. Thank you, thank you."
"Okay," he said with that tone that says, 'I don't know what I said that made you so happy but, hey, it's great to see you happy.'
Simmy hung up the phone with a wonderful feeling, "Yep, I passed that test! This year, things will be different. There is always reward for passing a big test."
