with all my heart
finally 2 of my tuition kids are going for their final battle! the math paper tomorrow! thank God for seeing me through tuition with them despite my exams and busy schedule. both of you, jia you!!!!! do Your best.. NUS! yay! S/U option! so happy that NUS decided to allow us to see the grades of the previously S/U-ed modules and decide whether we want to retract our S/U option. amazingly, for one of the modules (real estate and investment law) which i S/U-ed because i didn't think i could do well for that, i just checked and i got an A-!!!!!!!!!!! yay!! so retracted my S/U option!! so i'm in quite a happy mood now! the other module i S/U-ed (contemporary physics) i got C+, so left is as S/U module. my physics really cannot make it...
dinner at cicada with 4 friends last saturday... it was a nice romantic place... anyway, it was wl's birthday dinner so she decided that we all had to wear skirts or dresses! guess what i wore?!? thank you for the dinner treat. God loves you with His unchanging and everlasting love. <3
i was just flipping through the pages of my little black diary book... reading the verses inside.. at the bottom of the pages meant to be used for noting school stuff, this was the verse i used:
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men
Colossians 3:23
Lord, forgive me for all the times when i do things to seek the applause of men, the approval from men, the smiles of men and the praises of men. teach me Lord, to do everything with all my heart, as doing for You, not unto men. the greatest reward is in heaven, which You have already prepared for me, so as i await that day in hope, teach me to seek only Your praise, Your applause, Your smile, and Your approval in all that i do... and to do everything unto Your glory and not my own.
He reminds me that as i study, as much as i don't exactly totally enjoy studying, that i should study for Him. grades don't matter to God. what matters is that i reflect God in the way i go about stuyding and fulfilling my responsibility as a student. many times i get sucked into the whole "must do well" syndrome, and when i don't do well, disappointment sets in... i think i got to learn how to enjoy the process of studying! (:
exams are so close, coming up and ahead. scary.
my bahasa indonesia is so lousy!!
help me to trust.
