hello!(: exam's drawing nearer and nearer each day, no doubt the stress and pressure is building up but one thing i believe is to have total trust in God. I just had tuition and tcher mentioned how cool I look, I don't even show any signs of stress or whatnots. Then I said it's not because i'm not stressed, just that i dont show it on the outside, so why frown when we can choose to smile? I feel that it's really how we handle the stress that we have. Just yesterday, one of my friends was feeling so stressed and kind of draw away from us. Cuz the 3 of us are Christians, so my friend used the hard approach to wake the girl up as she didn't want to go for the lessons after the 1st break but I'm really glad that she went in the end.
Going through this tough period with myself is impossible because I know I myself is not perfect and I have limited strengths, I will fall and may not pick myself up again. But with God, everything becomes possible even the impossible. This year I started out as a normal,typical Christian going to church and cellgroups but slowly I drew away from God due to busyness, not having time for God. However I'm really glad that I'm relying so much more on God now (this doesn't mean that I don't study.hahaha), trusting Him so much more and to have the joy of the Lord in everything I do. so yups. Thanks for your prayers my brothers and sisters(:
Last but not least, just want to share with you all a few verses that have really encouraged me the past few weeks.
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."-1 Peter 5:6-7
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."-James 1:2-4
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind."-James 1:5-6
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."-Phillipians 4:13
So remember to have the joy of God in everything that we do and in every circumstances(: love you guys(:
