GOD HAS BEEN GREAT!!

yeah!!! just one more paper left!!

anyways, here to share what has been happening this week! XD

Indeed God has totally GREAT!!!!

I was getting stress and worried about this week's promos, of which i have exams every day, because i have not yet finished preparations, rather, far from finishing preparations. and i really really did not want to be retained.

initially, i was thinking, if i'm not ready to face the As next year, i rather retain and be more fully prepared. but i realised that i'm not actually ready to go through all the transitions & emotional journey, not being able to promote with my peers&my class (of whom i will dearly miss) and having to start anew in a new class after taking so long to settle and find some sort of bearings in 0836. so i was telling God, i rather not retain.

well, here's a testimony to God's greatness.

Indeed, i was real stressed, since last week, a couple of sudden stress attacks too, though i may seem to hide it all down real well. if i'm to show it, then i'm letting it develop, cant do that.
Well, praise God for his promise, and a particular verse that helped me through my even more stressful Os last year:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God; and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 4:5-6~

yups. Indeed, i told God, "Lord, you know the amount of preparation i did. i could have done better if i've disciplined myself even earlier. But i commit my promos unto your hands. I will do my best with whatever time i have left, and ask for your mercy, grace, strength and favour to be upon me too. even if it's your plan for me not to pass this promos, at least Lord, grant me your peace and strength to survive this promos."

and guess what? He did. His peace was definitely with me. As well as His strength, grace, and mercy. Every time i felt like i'm gonna panic, i tell myself to calm down and i recall the verse.

okay,
Monday - GP: peace & help from God. cld finish my papers, even the AQ(though i dun think i really wrote well, haha) and summary. phew. and able to sort of come out with some examples for essay. =D

Tuesday - Maths: praise GOd!! got time to attempt all questions, and a little time left to think through those questions which i skipped coz cldnt solve... and very very happy!! guess what? i counted.. of the qns i not sure/dunno how to solve/have doubts of my answers... it accounts to... 38MARKS OUT OF 100!!!!!!!! That means, if no careless mistakes, and all things go well, i may get 60marks!!! XD yeah!!! (though highly unlikely) but anyway, that means i have a HIGH CHANCE OF PASSING!!! =D esp since my maths was my worst subject in mid-yrs, and have always more or less been failing all my maths tests... really struggled with maths this year.

Wednesday - History: not very prepared, but thank God went through finish SEA history, though dint have time to memorise anything. but was able to FINISH 4 ESSAYS IN 3 HOURS!!!! yeah. and was able to some out with points for the essays. yeah! praise God.

Thursday - Economics: dint really have time to complete essays but at least attempted all. =) better than midyears, where i spent slightly more than an hour doing part (a) of that 1 essay qn, and completly dint touch part (b). teacher couldnt believe it, and neither could my friends. XP and though i was falling asleep during case studies, dunno what i was writing, but thank God i managed to complete the paper. phew!

Friday - Chinese: okay, the paper was very difficult. the more i think of it, the more i have to admit that it was difficult. initially, i do dun really think, still dint realise that actually it was quite difficult. haha. thank God i completed the papers, nearly dint. phew.


oh well, papers are done, and gotten over with, resting in the hands of God now. Left one more paper to go... physics...
really really thankful to God for all He has done. i really had NO CONFIDENCE in ANY of the PAPERS. He really saw me through it though.

i rmb in the midst of maths paper, i stopped when i realised i keep having to skip questions, i recall this verse, and dialled God's hotline - 333:
"Call to me and I will answer you, and tell you great and unsearchable things that you do not know." ~ Jeremiah 33:3 ~

yups, so ALL GLORY TO GOD FOR HIS GREATNESS, HIS FAITHFULNESS, HIS MERCY, HIS GRACE, HIS STRENGTH, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HIS PEACE THAT HELPED ME SURVIVE THIS WEEK!!! HALLELUJAH!!! =D
