I used to love exams because i wouldnt need to do homeworks during my exams =)
but recently, aahhh... , so stressful i felt. I tried not too, and prayed lots, and then i felt God tell me to, you know, blog what i feel right now. So here i am, doing it by faith..
It was crazy, i practically felt white hairs sprouting when i was forcing myself so hard to study. its not that i dont like to study but its the pressure that i felt. Its the kind of once a lifetime exam so you just gotta try your best and prepare real well. But when you know that you still have a great deal you haven't gone through, its really discouraging and i had a thought like " ahh, let it be, maybe not to study is better, then i wont feel so stressed. I suppose i can remember tomorrow.." I never did it though. I would feel too guilty to do it, hence i studied just as hard as i can............................................... and take the exams and then, I feel GREAT. I believe we are responsible to try our best for God since He had given us much wisdom and grace and opportunity to take exams and leave the results to Him. Thats the way exams would seem to come and go well, and you actually feel a bit sad when you realise that its over. ^^
I suppose the moral behind the story is that, don't stress yourself too hard by comparing with others how much you have studied ( its not worth it, really ), and try your best at living a balanced life and studying hard and rejoice after every exam, cause its God's gift. In a nutshell XD, lean back on God throughout your exams babe~
Ecclesiastes 8:15
So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.

The First Post =)
" ' When the cloud tarried...then the children of Israel...journeyed not.' ( Num. 9:19)
Wait, young man, do not be in a hurry to make a change! Minister, remain at your post! Until the cloud clearly moves, you must tarry. Wait, then, thy Lord's good pleasure! He will be in plenty of time!"
- Daily Devotional Commentary (Streams in the Desert)
I found these words impacted my thoughts and hence i posted it, since i am not sure of what to post for the first time. Hmm. Surely we must wait for God's timing in everything, hard it may be, but we must get our hearts ready for waiting and not be impatient, for He shall make the tarrying sweet and meaningful in time.
So often, i found myself sad and gloomy and i didnt know that it was taking over me. Soon, i realised that i became sad for a reason i myself do not understand and altogether for me life became gloomy, days became gloomy, my thoughts became gloomy. What to do. I am still young and desperately do not want to live a sad life. But there seemed too much things in this world to worry about, to be sad about. Even when i committed them to God, i feel no joy.
By and by, i realised the source of my problem. When you commit something to God, you should really lay it at His feet and leave it there. Dont be like the person who was sitting on the back of a lorry but still carrying his heavy bag, not putting it down because he didnt want to burden the lorry too much. It is already on the lorry! Forgive and let things go. When you trust God, really trust Him and dont limit Him. His thoughts and ways are greater than ours. Get positive, look around and see that the bright sunshine is shinning at you! Be thankful and joyful for our days are short and this is the day that the Lord hath made. There is not a problem to great and terrible that it will last forever. If you have God of the Universe as your Help, what then is too hard?
