Yoz peoplez!
yea! My O's are over!!! =D
Firstly, I wanna say a BIG THANK YOU to you all who have prayed for me, encouraged me, and helped me, during this period of revision and examination.
Next, I just want to share with you all about how God's favour has indeed been upon me during this period of time...
The 2wks b4 Os, I was getting frantic n worried coz i dun feel ready to tackle e Os, there was so much i havent yet revised n practiced. e service just b4 Os, the preacher was sharing about surrendering. What a timely word. God spoke to me and I suddenly realised that though i have been praying, but i wasnt letting go & refused to let God take full control. So at the altars, with tears rolling down, i TOTALLY surrendered my O levels to God... and indeed i felt totally peaceful and at peace with myself, allowing myself to study/revise better.
1st wk of Os, God gave me an opportunity to pray together with my frens. more like i pray for e grp of us, include non-christians. i prayed w my frens everyday for e 1st wk, though we stop e 2nd wk onwards. *shrug*
i really want to thank God that indeed His peace was always with me, allowing me to pass thru e 1st wk, which was very very hectic, easily. even for e 3papers in 1day, when we were 'quarantined' whole day in sch coz we take amaths P2 earlier than e rest, we had an enjoyable time to our surprise... gd treatment, more relaxed environment, more freedom.
2nd wkend, WORSHIP EXPERIENCE!!! I really felt so happy & blessed as i really worshipped and praised God with my all, fr e depths of my heart, something which had been lacking in my worship for far too loong. wkend b4 my eng paper, i practiced my eng P1 by writing 2compos, and emailed 3 of my teachers, hoping they will read it, marked it, critic it.
Praise God! 2 replied, encouraging me while 1 even corrected the compos.
2days free b4 physics P2... studying in sch w my frens... thk God 4 my physics teacher who made time 2 help us, even if it means talking to us till 7.15pm, & even trying to calm us down & encourage us.
day b4 physics P2, on e way hme fr sch, i suddenly got worried bout nxt day's paper. catching the hints, i knew tat i may become depressed n get so down tat i wont b able to study tat nite, so i started praying, n asking pple to pray 4me praise God! after a shower, i was ok & able to study, n e encouraging replies continue to keep me going.
oh, and for history elect & ss, the topics i spotted came out!! For history Stuctured Essay, out of the 3 questions, 2 i spotted, & my fav topic came out. source-Based topic was my 2nd guess. For SS, i was spot on for the themes tat will come out for structured essay, & my fav came out, again! Praise God!
i want to also thank God for keeping me in good health during this entire period. the only time i fell ill was last weekend. i started to have running nose tat cldnt stop running even after taking medicine, that led me feeling down & not myself, weak n feeling ill on sunday. after resting when i got hme, i felt better & was able to carry on revising/preparing. monday was much much better, although nose was still running... though lesser than on sat.
PRAISE GOD!! when i went to school in the afternoon... no more problem from my nose... yeah!! it dint run, nor get blocked, but i was quite in tip top condition as i sat for my last 2 papers... yeah!
God has indeed been faithful, n by truly depending on Him, totally surrendering my O levels and myself to Him, completely trusting in Him, I have drawn closer to him during this period.
He also sent many different individuals who encouraged me during this period, through SMSes, prayers, and emails, even thru my teachers.
I definitely COULDNT had gone through this period alone. He knew it all along. He sent my family, frens, teachers, leaders to help me. But most importantly He personally brought me through, His joy and peace always with me as His presence was.
Indeed, "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus."
I finally truly understand & experienced for myself what this verse means.
May you experience God's love, power and favour.
I have indeed "Let Go & Get a Grip on God"... and "Do my Best & Let God do the Rest"...
