A wearing week of exams, a great week of faith-evaluation. Praise God for all that He done for me throughout the week.
This week of exams made me realise that I've actually grown so much in my trust in Him. Finally I can say I'm almost back on track. I've never felt so calm ever before for exams. Never. My last exam was my piano exam. Well I had to admit that even during my A's, I was still quite nervous even when I know I could trust in Him.
But this time, well I simply lift up everything into His hands. Well cos I've seemed super calm this week even when I never finish studying, Sally and Chantal kinda dun believe. Well I too was surprised at my calmness. But seriously, the week before, I really felt stress and yet calm. Well why? Cos I've got the Holy Spirit as my Comforter.
Motivated by Sheena, I bought the latest Hillsong United CD. I love the last song in the album "Awesome God". Simple yet powerful.
That's it. The lyrics for the whole song is just the above. I was so blown away when I saw the lyrics and in no time, I found myself singing it all the time.
Some things which I like to share with you guys out there of the things I learnt during Pst Phil's conference and weekend services this week.
Anxiety is the most difficult emotions to rule. Worries and fear are like weeds, you dun need to make any decision for them to appear in life, but FAITH comes by decision. Make a decision to sow that seed of faith in life. Faith was the factor for my trust in God, that everything in my life is in good hands. Phil 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus." Amen and amen. This was the scripture which held me up through my stats exam on Tues. And through the whole week, 10 minutes before and after my every paper, I just laid hands on my paper and lift it up in prayer to God and believe that He'll take care of it. The other scripture which sustained me throughout the week was 2 Tim 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
The level of our complaining indicates the level of our capacity. Complaining is the language of victims. Well... I had to admit that I'm a super procrastinator. God, I repent. Pls pls forgive me. Wanna be a VICTOR, not a victim.
Trial produces patience. We need to be strong to endure hardship and be long-suffering. Strength is formed in tough times and through tough things. Well my life for the past 4 mths was indeed a great trial. 1 and a half more mths to end this trial. "Jo, u just had to endure it." Well this whole week had been travelling to expo for my exams. It's always kinda torturing and super gitty to pass by Bedok every morning. Well I just have to endure it for the one last time next wk and maybe I wont have to travel pass that place anymore.
Be alert at all times and awake to every are in life cos the devil will seize any and every opportunity to destory God's people. Hey devil I phew u. U sux. U belong to hell and not here lo. What makes u think that I'll still let u find a chance to destory me. Although I had to admit that my alertness slackened in my area of relationship during my vow to cause my breakdown, I still am trying to get back on track. God is putting me back so, phew u devil. Dun u dare lay hands on me. I'll bite u. Ruff.....
Well there are so many things which I wanna share about the things which God spoke to me during service and conference this wk. Love pst Phil. Praise God for creating such a great man and sending him to be a great fren of CHC.
