2008 has been a really hectic year, with lots of ups and downs but no matter what, I really want to thank God for seeing me through the whole year. Without Him, I'd be stuck on my own to face the darkness and difficulties. It seemed to be a really short year where time passed extremely fast, like zoooomz. I must admit, I hadn't been a good girl this year, I hadn't been doing my qt regularly, always procastinating and pushing things aside, only to seek Him when I'm in trouble. But nevertheless, God has always been the faithful God, always there with everlasting arms outstretched waiting for me. And I really wanna thank Him for that.
Being weighed down by cca, council and studies, it's really a difficult time to cope. I knew I made the right choice on focusing on cca and studies, declining exco position, if not I wouldnt be able to survive through. West zone competition, nationals, sec1 orientation camp etc etc, it's really hard to manage everything right at the start of the year, missing lessons during the most crucial part of our secondary life. I had always thought I'd break down anytime any moment because during commons, my results were devastating but God guided me through all and encouraged me.
I'll always remember in Jan when I was so freaked out by the chinese o level results I was reminded of a verse in the bible and it really assured me.
Psalm 118:5-6
I called to the Lord in destress, the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. The Lord is on my side, I will not fear.
That night, I was comforted by His word and the next day when I saw an A1 for chinese, I cried of joy.It's really great!
Preparations for O's were like nightmares and the constant stress just made me gorge myself with more and more food. Thank God for the friends that He had placed in my life, for they were with me when I needed help, when I was so so so stress and their words of encouragement really spur me on. Elena, Jiayu, Estella, Yuan, Fangyu, Ferny etc, thank you guys for everything :D
Whenever I felt as though I screwed things up, God, you made a miracle happen, so I'm gonna trust my o's results into your hands.
v34. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! for His mercy endures forever.
v35. And say, "save us, O God of our salvation. gather us together and deliver us from the gentiles, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in Your praise"
v36. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. and all the people said "Amen!" and praised the Lord.
I'll forever remember God's work in my life, amen.
