By natural standards I was woefully, inadequately prepared for the Economics exm today. My CGL told me to just do what I can and trust in God's favour. To be honest, I felt that if the paper attacked me viciously, I would have had no defense. Praise God. The very topic that I was unsure out almost didn't appear in the paper AT ALL!Two of the essay questions were discussed during lesson time, at periods I was ACTUALLY LISTENING!Favour, favour. I don't know how well I'll do for this paper but whatever the result, I will trust in the Lord. My circumstances can change but 2 things never will.1)The Word of God (Isiah 40:8)2)God's agape love for me! (Romans 8:39)Let's all spend more time in the Word. It was one of my expectations for the camp and thank God, I am falling in love with reading the Bible. Through the Bible (which is forever the same), we gain a deeper revelation of God's love for us (which never changes either!)! Geography tomorrow... Wait, why am I typing this if it's Geography tomorrow? Gotta run!P.S. Can someone tag the verses above? TY!
God bless,Darren

Here is an excerpt from an email that I Reen, JC South's beloved CG leader, sent out. It really blessed me and I hope it blesses you too!How does knowing my Abba's love for me cause me to overcome every temptation?
Knowing His love is to know that the One who loves you is the Almighty Creator and the One who freely gives and desires for you to enjoy all things in life. Most importantly, He gave you freely (yet it was not without pain) His Son to die for every sin, every short coming and every missing the mark in your life.
Why Joseph was able to overcome the temptation? How are you able to overcome that porn addiction? That gaming addiction? That temptation to just speak bad?
It comes when i know that Abba Daddy provides for me. Joseph saw Abba's love and hence Abba would provide him THE BEST. He would provide him a beautiful wife - one in whom he can keep himself for and he can thoroughly enjoy, conscience clear, joyous on the Wedding night and able to savour every moment with her. Hence, it was not just being conscious of God but of a loving, giving Father.
Similarly, when you ask Abba for a revelation of who He is. He will surely answer you because His heart is for you. No more comparisons, no more looking at where you fall short anymore because your source is from Him direct!Greatly Blessed, Highly Favoured, Deeply LovedDarren
Abba, You love me.

Will be at HistoryMakers 7 from Monday to Friday. But please don't stop visiting to tag. Abit sad if I get home and see nothing new. But even if thats the case, I probably won't be too sad, cos camp is going to be AWESOME! Pray for me! And for those who couldn't go for camp, don't worry. When the prophet Samuel sought out the David for anointing, he got it anyway even though he wasn't present when Samuel arrived. God will never shortchange His people! ( Samuel 16:1-13)God bless y'all,
Darren

I'll be lying if I said I am totally fine with this.Seems the school decided to use the same person who has won two prior competitions this year for PESA. Sigh. When will I get another chance? There are no more public speaking competitions this year and next year I'll have to compete with new J1s. And I'm to help him with his speech. Not that I find that horrifying but it would be nice... if I could present my own speech rather than channel a modified version of it through him. But strangely I don't feel as sad as I thought I would. Maybe its because I expected it, or that I left the decision to God. I know that in the end my future is decided and it is a bright one. Nothing can change that!Planning a DG outing is a real chore. Hopefully this Saturday is fine to celebrate Mindy's birthday. HistoryMakers camp next Monday! Its going to be awesome. Greatly blessed, Highly favoured, Deeply loved,Darren (and you!).P.S. The the 1st letters of each word in blue appear together somewhere on this blog in picture form. Can you guess where?
Abba, You love me.

Guess how the PESA trials went? (I have a strong feeling that it was... wait, never mind.) Me and the guy who won every competition he's been for. The one to represent CJC to be selected by Monday or Sunday night. I'm just going to leave the result in God's hands. Arrow service this afternoon! Can't wait. I want to receive a revelation today to dispel my twisted, turning, tumultuous thoughts(yay for alliteration). God bless you all and DG, looking forward to an outing soon!
Abba, You love me.

Well, its the second day of the June holidays. And if you are a JC student like me, that means extra remedials, extra lectures. Not that its bad actually, they have been really helpful. Tomorrow I audition for representing the school in PESA(Plain English Speaking Award). I'm not sure if I wanna get in so I'll just let go and let God!DG outings! CG outings! A break from school! And most importantly, HistoryMakers!
Abba, You love me.
