exams OVER OVER OVER!!woohoo~!
though blog one day late but i'm still as high !!haha great manz!! relieve feeling and just so glad that i walked so closely with God during this period.
ytd's physics paper was pretty easy compared to the past year papers so is not as difficult as expected. so am quite confident of passing but will be quite curious about my grade since i S/U it. haha
anw dunno my GPA how la..need it to help me change lei.. yupps confirmed on changing course alr. however ,the online application not open lei, emailed person in charge ,so waiting for reply.. will be putting communication studies as first choice and second choice sociology.
haiz there's still this fear that i'll struggle alot in the new course and dunno wad will happen.so i really still wana seek God in this, just as during the exams ,i want Him to be close to me.

just came back from running at the src. haha ran alone, so kinda did some reflecting in the shower!!haha, den i realised something to thank God about!!Praise Him, for He is good all the time,even when we do not notice, He is GOOD!!yeaps. i just remembered that many other people will discuss papers with their friends before and after the exam and then they get so worried about their revision or cos they realise there are so many mistakes ,so i actually wana thank God that i do not know much people in the physics cohort such that they will come and stress me, moreover there are so many scholars they sure study very hard and do very well den i will realise how weak i am in the subject and start panic and lose focus in God. cos all the while i felt quite bad that i do not know the physics people cos God's will for us is to spread the gospel to all and not be selective in the people we share,and if i do not initiate a friendship with them i wouldn't be able to share the goodness of God or make my life a life testimony of God's love and strength. Yet,God refreshes me and served my need, He knew how i would have felt and protected me. However let this be a gentle reminder to myself to always trust in the Lord, even in such situation i shall still not waver.yes Lord continue to hold on to me, cos i am weak, i might lose the grip.

thank you GOD =)

Praise the Lord!its another 2 papers completed!!lol really wana take time to appreciate God's presence in this period of time. Thank Him for bringing me thru!! yays! i'm just so refreshed by today's service.
1) God reminded me that when i seek Him ask for more of Him and not more of the blessings. having the right focus is more important than anything remember our purpose here on earth to serve the Lord and His people let all see the light and stop walking in darkness.
2) and the sermon reminded me of how God is always there.. regardless when i'm facing small little trouble or big problems that seem unsolveable He'll be there and His strength is avalable for us to tap into as long as we extend our arms towards Him. He'll will be awaiting to give us that touch from heaven and lift us above all problems. for we are His people the chosen ones that he'll bless and not destroy.
3) wana remember how God always moves when we even when we face small problems he'll be there to save us and i experienced this immediately on the bus trip immediately after service. cos i had stomachache and at first the bus had no seats for me so i chose a nice corner to sit. i closed my eyes and feel if the pain was necessary for me to sit if so i'd pray to God for a seat. den i think i need it so i told God and immediately the next bus stop 6 people alighted and there were 3 pairs of empty seats one pair is the inverted ones which i always get motion sickness when i sit.as i was walking towards the seat, a couple went before me so i 'aimed' for the seat behind them but then a man that just board the bus 'snatched' the seats from the couple den the couple had to turn back and sit at my seat however i was already sitting down so the couple went over to sit the inverted seats. thk God for the seat and really thank God i sat down before the couple came over otherwise i'd need to sit the inverted seats and i'm not sure what might happen.

and also want to thank God for his healing. had a bad stomachache on tuesday was really serious cos i can't even stand straight and had the exact same condition just not and on tuesday yanyu and corinna prayed for me then today the CG prayed for me and i was miraculously healed during both days! Praise God, the almighty Lord!!

okies Praise the LORD!! just wana end by these encouraging verses:
2 Corinthians 4:7-12 "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus's sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you."

yeaps its the start of the second week of exams!! yea really busy preparing for the exams, but in this uni group, u can never study without God!! and it has been so cool even though is really new to me. back in SA we did have a few gather-and-pray sessions before the exams but surely not this much cos most of us are taking the same papers and pray for ourselves and others together. now its so different brothers and sisters follow u all the way (some who dun stay hall ,like me, come down specially to pray for u!) to commit your papers to the Lord's hands. and that is so wonderful. was blessed by simply the physical presence of the people to pray for me,especially during my MAS181 paper last thursday. i don't know why i forgot so many things before going for the exams. was walking halfway there and was already kind of late den realise forgot to bring my jacket(ie left in sbs classroom) and would be late if i go back for it. so sengkim quickly said he run back and get and left almost immediately and later delivered it to me. that was not all, during the prayer itself before going into the exam i realised i forgot to check for my seat number and that being one of my first papers i didn't know can check inside. in my heart i really wanted to be panicky already but there was a voice assuring me there are people around me to help and i continued praying until the prayer ended. den i calmly told the people around i don't know my seat number and they started to think of ways to help me den started to call people who are still in the classroom but initially no one picked their phone den david said he run back and off he went. i was really blessed by how spontaneous these brothers and sisters are willing to help even if it means inconvenience and tiring them physically. after that tracy picked up the phone i managed to get her to get my notebook and read to me the seat number.THANK GOD! woohoo and i wasn't late for the exam!yay!yups so now i really really appreciate those who come down to pray for me and i hope to be one such person who could make a difference to a brother or sisters' exams ;)
Praise the Lord!!

another lovely verse:
Isaiah 41:10 Do not fear, for i am with you; do not be afriad, for i am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

well, long time didn't blog .had been busy studying had a tough week, stayed in school late almost everyday to study for my quiz last week. nonetheless, God has been doing his work in me..really thank God that during this period i still felt the urge to outreach. all i see is the opportunity i have to glorify God with my life instead of just the little time i have left to study for my exams.
and last sat the uni group and yg group had a healing workshop and ps. Peter Truong came!!WOO! yups he was the pastor who led the healing rally during the thai camp. that was a really miraculous sight where many many were heal and it was really a memorable day for me cos it was kind of my first witness of God's power so tangibly. and during the altar's call, xingni prophesied for me. i responded to altar call for God to intervene in my studies particularly regarding decision to change course. and prophesied for God to grant me more knowledge and understanding. and for me to have a still heart because alot of things happen to us ,we do not know why and we may feel that we are suffering but we trust in God that he has the best plan and is in control.that spoke to me cos of the situation i'm in;it is so easy for me to question why God place me in this physics course when i found so clearly i cannot do well and if he had the plan for me to change course,y has he allowed me to waste a semester or even a year?but i really want to follow God as i go thru my tertiary education.after all my life is anchored by God, it does not mean to me anything if i do well academically and lose God.
thank God for refreshing me and assuring ur presence amidst the though time. yes,God ur servant is here awaiting to follow where u are leading me =)

Psalm 63:8 (NTL) I follow close behind u; ur strong right hand holds me securely.
