Thank you Lord!

For the past two weeks, I have been sooo drained. The week before, I had 5 things due - one Speech Acoustics class test and 4 online Stats tests. Also that week, I had lots of post-Olympics operational work training to cover with staff and meetings. This week, I had 4 things due - one phonetics assignment that was really tough and 3 Stats tests. Just handed in that phonetics assignment... I don't know if it's all wrong, just gonna trust God with the results. Plus, there were relationship blues too... maybe because of the stresses from the two weeks. *shrugs*

Anyway, for the Speech Acoustics class test, I thought even if I just passed with 50, I'd be happy, cause I studied the day before. But I ended up with 80%. I actually still can't believe it... but am definitely happy.

It looks like I'm doing well so far this sem. God's looking after me and making sure I get through and maintain my spot in audiology. It's certainly been busier this sem, yet I'm able to cope with so much - but really couldn't have done it without trusting in His strength to see me through the difficult times. I know I often doubt myself - uni, the future... but it's really all about continuing that trust in Him, and I know it can be hard because of the way of society and earth life and just pure human error.

I was doing my quiet time earlier today and came across one of these passages in one of my Christian bks by Selwyn Hughes. Here's my bit of sharing - hopefully it'd encourage you guys too:
Many Chrstians shrink from walking the road of ambiguity and uncertainty in company with God, saying in effect: "My trust is in myself and not in Him." We never like to put it in those terms of course, beause it challenges our self-interest. And if there's one thing to learn about ourselves, it is that we do not like to be challenged, confronted or dislodged. But when we surrender to the certain, we never need to surrender to the uncertain - if we are sure of God, we do not have to be sure of anything else.
It's the struggle of dealing with oneselves - who is to be first - myself or God? We are ofen more concerned about our own purposes than we are about His - hence creating uncertainty and insecurity for ourselves. Decisions decide all other decisions. The moment you fully surrender to Christ, you automatically die to your own intentions and purposes and you gain a new perspective on life. You look out at ambiguity and uncertainty and say "I may not know what the future holds." But if you strongly believe and trust that God holds the ultimate future, then you do know who holds that future.
We are often in situations that prevent us from being in focus with God, and all our life's pictures have been blurred and distorted. Wanting God's way is still a struggle for many, especially with what the future holds, but perhaps it's the last battle to fight for, finding ourselves in situations that are vague and ambigious without fearing the outcome and knowing the issue has been settled once and for all.
Ultimately, we should look to God for that direction - to direct us back on the right track and help us see life from a new point of view - His point of view.
