Oh my. It's been ages since I've last blogged. I admit I have not been regularly doing my QT regularly as I ought to amidst the O levels. Exam is not an excuse. The little of our time that we give to God when we are most busiest is the most pleasing and worthy gift to Him.
O levels are done in a week's time!!! RARRRRRRRRRRRR!! I honestly can't WAIT any longer!! There's just so much on my agenda and a timetable has already been set for things I plan to do during the holidays.
Thus far, the exams have been beyond my expectation. Yes. Neither too hard nor too easy, for some of you who's already confused. Rather, I have become much closer, thankfully, to God through my preparations and the real test itself. Prayer. Reliance. Spirituality. Faith. Letting go. These have grown stronger and become much real through this hurdle. Amen to that! Most importantly, I've learned to place my grades, my time, my family, my life, my all in His hands.
Grace. Undeserving love, that is. Speechless. God has struck me speechless by His grace and providence for me. I have seen so much of His grace for my friends as well. For some who only studied a chapter for humanities, that chapter was eventually tested for the real exam. Yes G-man, that's none other than you. -.-
I have become closer to my friends by helping them in various ways - giving comfort, help in studies, advice, mental support and most importantly prayer.
I have witnessed many things through Os as well. Desperateness. Weakness. For some, confidence and self-sufficiency. For those who showed the former, I am glad because that's what humans are - and ought to be. For those who showed the latter, it's time to consider a greater force that is exists since the beginning of time and still is real. God should be our sole source of strength and energy in life. Nothing more. Nothing less. Before Him we are empty. With his spirit should we be filled.
Through this journey, I've been encouraged and comforted in many ways also. A friend of mine showed me how powerful God is in her life. She taught me the true godliness and piousness that a Christian should demonstrate in life, through her ups and downs during Os. She taught me never to question God's plan but to trust and wait for Him; for He is never late nor early, but He is always on time. Most importantly, she taught me not to preach but to carry out that which I urge others to.
Another friend of mine taught me not to leave my Bible covered in dust, not to leave it in the shelf like any other ordinary book. He's also grown to show more responsibility and I'm gladful for that as well. More importantly he has become less cocky. HA! Hint, hint. Yes,all that we achieve is not by our own human effort but by His grace alone, no matter how big or small that achievement is.
Another friend of mine... I am really grateful to God for my all friends. They have each impacted my life in a unique way. How is 2010 going to be when we part in time to come? I hope that we continue to be forces in each other lives to learn from and that by which we may grow in spirit and in truth.
For those who are feeling discomforted or discouraged by your progress for Os, do not be! There's always "that guy up there" who cares for you and always wants the best for you. He is real. He is there. He will always be. He is not just an angel. He is not just a friend. He is our heavenly father who was, is, and always be.
Work hard, fellow students. And rely. And contentment is yours. Nothing more will you wish for, trust me.
To Os, to the future, to the one hope we all live for...
To 6 points...
To life everlasting.
