Hm.... its getting a little unbelievable. Somehow somehow.... God always pull me through and somehow somehow things just happen. Its seem normal to me experiencing cycles of pulling hair moments and then a delivery moment and it goes on and on and on and on.... While usually a description of having a divine touch from God usually conjure up an image of something that is super-big and occurring only when you fasted 30 days, the little little things that I have pulled through on a regular basis seem to testify otherwise.
Ok,cut the crap,all I wanna do is to journal down this season and all its stuns(the exam Juggernaut and his side-kicks) and how they are simply no match for God who probably yawned at them. Simple chess moves he made and of which I would want to give thanks for:
The Friday Service Before My First PaperWhile there were people complaining about having a friday night service, I was actually very glad that I had something to calm my nerves down before my first paper. I had been studying much harder than previous sem thanks to the absence of certain distractions haa but its been giving me butterflies in my brain and those butterflies were threatening to spread to the rest of my body. So, the wonderful experience of God's assurance really brought me at peace. While its never comforting that there are people reading lines of their textbook while I read the lines of the worship lyrics displayed, I reckon a touch from God beats any mugging attempts and definitely salvage my mental condition which is key for remaining sane and sound before my paper.
The Sat CG After My First Paper
Ok, so the paper was taken but i had certain physical discomforts as I did the paper and it really drained and brought my spirit down alot. The worst thing to do after that probably is to turn up for unit CG and disregard the comforts of my healing bed. I was thinking in my mind that I didn't want to drag the atmosphere down and really wondered if I was able to convey the WOG in the right attitude and conviction. Wellsssss, if its a unit CG,means the unit leader have to be there right? and if there is a big hole in teaching slot,won't it be like super-weird?? Haa but thank God for the decision to pull it through and go cos' it wasn't an attendance thing as God instantly converted my heart to one that trusts in him as I worshipped and won't you have it? A teaching that was based on the right attitude and heart condition. I even told my unit that really thank God for the worship,if not i might not be able to teach at all and God knows how long I would take to settle my heart at home.
The Sunday DMM Before My Second Paper
Its beginning to sound like I want to thank God for every single thing that happens in my life in this limited cyberSPACE but bear with me cos' God really moved so much during this period. What happened for that sunday DMM was also another touch of God through worship. This silly me got caught up in the web of worrying again,seeing how behind time I was on certain modules and how time was taunting a limited human with its constant reminders of what is to come. It was really refreshing to worship God and this really prep. me for a marathon at SMU later.
The JieXun Camera incident
Ok enough about exam Juggernaut! I will have plenty to deal with when his spawn, results release have a showdown with me on 22th Dec. I am going to talk about this particular camera incident that occurred midway through the exam season and cannot be described in any other way but divine.
Ok, during another unit CG, I borrowed jiexun's camera to record my teaching and after that in a sleep-deprived mode, cared only about my duck rice infront of me and left his camera to be taken care by the cleaners in admiralty food court. The amazing part was that I didn't even notice that for 3 whole days and was hypnotized into thinking that it was still in some corner of my room. Well done,smart guy.
Anyways, poor JX was driving down to claim the camera from me as he was hard pressed by his brother to claim it back and it was only at that moment that I realised that it wasn't with me anymore. In a desperate frantic mode, I started calling up eyewitnesses and concurred that it must had been at the food court. Wells,it doesn't take rocket science to figure out that my chances of claiming back a 1k camera being left to the wilderness is very slim. I even pictured in my mind some person eating at the foodcourt table after me,thanking God that idiots like me exist and gleeing at the prospect of having a normally out of reach new 1k camera. Multiply that one person by 3 days' worth of them and man, it got me on my knees praying to God for salvation.
So, the next day I asked my mother to go check ou with the foodcourt cleaners first as I had school and the response was negative. Not that there was much to expect anyway. (Meanwhile I had only told my mum I lost a speaker in the shoebag and haven disclose the 1k camera yet.You see, I will probably take my exams in hospital after that.) Nevertheless, being the ever reluctant person to pay for 1k worth of my life (that is 3mths pay), I still enquired of the cleaner who gave me the same negative response. Somehow, there was a voice that urged me to carry on with the coffee aunty and she pointed me to the manager who brought out the 8th wonder of the world and my salvation as well. Now, I make it a point to trust coffee aunties more than cleaners but anyways, it is pure divine. Nothing other than His interference could have saved me. The manager even state that I was quite lucky as they usually turned over their lost items to the police after 3 days.
The CIP
Ok one last one! As some of you are aware,we are doing a matthew event cum CIP event and I was tasked to link up with this organisation. We prepared hard and discussed about the ideas for coming up for an event but alas, due to certain clash of interests, were not able to pull it off. However, by the time that happened, it is 1 week to our proposed event and also a detriment to our build-up towards Christmas!
Just for your information, lots of homes are actually booked during the Christmas season like 3 months before Christmas in case any of you planning a similar event. So, I spent sometime camping beside the phone, entertaining many rejections and weird responses,reaching the brink of giving up. However,someone interfered again. Not Kanye West but our ever faithful God! We managed to link up with a home and reach an agreement for an event this weekend. Praise God! Please pray for us that as we now face the arduous task of preparing well for the event with only a few days to spare, God will keep interfering and interfering.
I think its really a crime to not blog all these down and leave them to the dust of my memory. Wells, what else can I say? and i shall leave it as that.
