I am super stressed now ok? its 9.30 and what have i done? what have i been doing all day? why can't my parents just bring my younger sibs out?blehit seems that i am putting blame on any other beings now. i dont like it. and i cant express it. idiotic. i think i am gonna cry again. ahhh. i have been studying geog, perhaps all day. but nothing went into my mind, what kind of rubbish this is. ='(God save me. i am so scared of getting retained. lj say i am distracted half the time. quite true actually. but the point is. I DONT KNOW HOW TO. sighi am going crazy. i think so, because of stress, i hope not. i cant wait till exams are over. but i hope that i can get another week to study. but, no time left. i have about 11 hours more before i face the wrath of the papers. :'(is there a solution to all these stresses?things didnt go as well as i had planned. dad and mum didnt tell me that they were going out today. if i knew, i would have continued studying till perhaps 2 or 3 or even 4 am. i spent my energy on cooking dinner. trying to shut my sibs up. wasting half the time to study doing that. ='(boo hoo hoo. i guess i just have to stop complaining and get started in working.Phillipians 4:13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.Galatians 6:9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.A testimony..The brokenness I saw in them... the yearning to live a Christ centred life...It's useless telling Christian youths to "behave" themselves and "be a testimony" to others, especially in school, not to "strive for things that will not last" but strive for what is "eternal"...It's not about a set of do's and don'ts.It's not about the doing.It's about the being.It's about Jesus.It's about how transformation can only occur when an individual experiences that life transforming relationship.It's about how an individual gets ontologically inverted back to what it's meant to be.Then we'll suddenly see perspectives changed, that it's not about us at all.Then we'll suddenly hear of lesser crude jokes and vulgarities.Then we'll suddenly sense the strong urges to know Him more.Then we'll suddenly see them praying for their friends showing more concern for them.Basically... lives transformed.And it doesn't apply to them alone.The closets must rattle on.If you're reading this and if He prompts you that you're one of whom I'm saying this to, then you should be one: I'm so proud of you. ;')Lastly, a prayer for all those who are taking fyes along with me.Dear Heavenly Father,Thank You for the love You have for me that endures forever, and for the faithfulness that You have shown throughout my life.As the days draw near towards the all important exams, Father I pray that You will draw me even closer to You, to know that You are the God who brings me through it all.All the stresses and pressure to achieve or even to pass the papers can get a little bit daunting at times... Father I pray for strength not of myself but from You, to know that You will sustain me even as I revise my work.Teach me to commit the results into Your hands, to know that my worth as a person is not in the results that I will get, but wholly in You alone. Lord I pray for Your will to be done, not Your will for me... but Your will alone, not asking that You bless me with disctinctions... but for the results that You have purposed.Teach me day after day to know that it's not the results that matter but it is the attitude that I am putting in that testifies. Lord I acknowledge that it is very easy for me to succumb to peer pressure, but I also know that Holy Spirit You are in me to guide me and rise above the temptations to simply follow along.Grant me wisdom in the way I uphold myself as Your child... so that others may see the difference. Above all, grant me closeness to You, that I may continually commit everything into Your hands.In Jesus' most precious name.Amen.
