People who know me would know that I find it hard to stay awake and alert for the whole day of school. Well, my OP was yesterday at 2.00pm. Guess what? I reached school at 7.30am!
Well, I had to reach early to do something important, but I was still worried that I would get drowsy and fall asleep before my OP! I didn't exactly have a peaceful night of rest the previous day either. So I did the only thing I could. I smsed my CGL, John, and asked him to pray with me that God will fill me with energy, and that I would only be tired after the OP. Frankly, I wasn't confident that this prayer would be answered. After all, I have asked for energy in the past but didn't really see it manifest in my life.
I'm so glad that when we are faithless, God is still faithful. Thats how much He loves us! Amazingly, I was full of energy for my OP and only fell asleep on the bus on the way home! I think I really woke up everyone in that room, student and teacher alike. Like that song "Speak Peace" by my church, NCC, goes:
"Though I go through waters and I walk through fire
I'll not be dismayed, nor will I be afraid
You will deliver, You will provide
Your arm is mighty to save"
The line in green is the promise I've seen manifested in my life through this whole PW period. I wasn't working well with my group until as recently as 3 weeks ago, and I had no idea how God will turn it around. But with God, nothing is impossible. I can confidently say that I share a good relationship with my group members now. How it happened, I don't know. All I know is Who is responsible for it.
God's arm is truly mighty to save. Remember how I struggled during my promo exams? It was my fault that I didn't get enough studying in. But God's grace saved me.Does this make me want to slack more? No! This makes me want to live life fopr God's glory!
Beloved, if you are facing an impossible situation, remember that nothing is impossible for God.
Abba, You love me.
