"For I know the
plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future."
[ Jeremiah 29:11 ]
Do the teachers think we have 100 hours in a day or sth? the worksheets keep coming like a never-ending stream, probably only to intensify. [dM/dt= +ive] there's so much work i don't know where to start!
just a thought. i don't quite like the way percentiles are used as a gauge of one's progress.. somehow it makes it seem that one necessarily has to step over others to consider that oneself has improved, or one progresses at the retrogress of others :/ is how society works? sigh. sadly, it seems to be so.

i shouldn't be online at this time. whoops. but anyway, i had a short bout of worry just now after telling my dad about my results. my horribly sucky results. this is the first time i've failed in a major jc examination and it's not just 1, but 3 subjects. he asked if i had a study/revision plan. time is running out. i was wondering how i was going to continue doing piece after piece of work with minimal breaks in between for another 98+22 more days :/
but thank God, ET's such a wonderful sister in Christ. her sms reminded me that God has wonderful plans for me; He has engraved me in the palms of His hands. during QT just now, the song that has been replaying in my mind since sunday morning came back to me. it's titled "through it all". how apt it is.
Through It All You are forever in my life You see me through the seasons Cover me with Your hand And lead me in Your righteousness And I look to You
And I wait on You
I will sing to You, Lord A hymn of love For Your faithfulness to me I'm carried in everlasting arms You'll never let me go Through it all

Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Amen =)
wow. God has been working mightily. i thank God for the opportunity to be in a position to support and encourage 2 new members of God's family on their new journey =D

it has been a super long time since i last blogged. i feel that i've lost the blogging touch. =P
i guess i'll start by talking about some of the events that has happened so far..
i helped out at my church's children camp -- Hupernikomen! More Than Conquerors -- from 12-14 june. many of the children who came were from the childcare that my church operates. it really warmed my heart to see the little children worshipping and singing to God with all their hearts. many of the children may not even know what they were singing but their innocence and child-like faith really touched me. no wonder Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." --Mt 19:14 (NIV) yes, the children can be mischievous and out of control at times. but the joy when you see a smile on a child's face and the knowledge that you have helped to spread God's love to the little ones can make you deny yourself and go on. i hope, i have faith, i know that God will let the seeds we have sown in their lives grow and blossom one day, and they will serve the Lord mightily in their generation. amen!
after that was preparation for CTs. initially my mind was extremely distracted and i did not feel like studying at all. i decided that it cannot go on, so i wrote down all the distractions that tug at my mind. then i prayed about each distraction specifically. thereafter i tore the postcard up and threw it away. i guess the symbolism was significant. i committed the distractions to God and prayed that He would help me get rid of it for it wasn't the right time or season to think about them. the physical action kinda reinforced what God did for me in the spiritual realm.
then before we know it, CTs have come and passed. i found the papers generally manageable and i thank God for being the Peace that guarded my heart, the Strength that kept me going, the Comforter that reassured me during the exams when i was sick. i just thank God that He has helped me reach a deeper level on my relationship with Him, helped me pray and focus on Him for longer periods, and helped me learn the truths in His Word. although i still fall and let Him down, i know i can be caught in God's amazing grace, unfailing love, and the forgiveness through the shed blood of His Son. for we know that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. amen!
God is good indeed :D
