I'm set free!

Although it's 2 weeks before my 1st ever exams in NUS, I must say i've never felt so free on the inside!

Though today's a little tiring, 4 hr lecture, went to HDB before tat and consultation,but on the inside i felt free n relaxed inspite of the pressure. this is what i really call peace of the Lord! After the last few days of tremendous revelation on the negative spiritual effects on competition, now i realised it's actually sth scary.

Was having lunch after lecture with a friend, as i wanted to borrow his notes to reference. He began to share that he's very angry because of the system and if he does not earn 5-6k eventually, he will punish the government or sth(sounds very strong , ah?)I told him to chill it off a bit, no need to get so intense one. n seeing him so stressed up while studying, i asked him why not relax n calm urself down and his response was "I cannot afford it". and that began to strike my heart, and saw wat i was doing during the past weeks, studying so hard for dean's list, but not enjoying the process at all, even had the response of "i cannot afford not to get dean's list". to think of it, i am thankful for the Lord that He pulled me out of this. Painful it may be, but it's for my good. then went to the consultation venue, prayed for protection of my heart from that and prayed for peace of God to come upon his heart.I do not want to lose who I am in christ, just because I want to compete and prove a point! I have decided all the more,i want to enjoy this journey! If i get to be in dean's list, Praise th Lord for such fantastic results, even if i don't get it, i will still praise the Lord that He has seen me through the semester n scoring above 3.5 for CAP.

Lord, as far as i am believing you for Dean's list, i only wanna do it with the joy, peace and happiness of the Lord. Help Me Lord through this exams and i know as i continue to serve you as a CGC/helper, i know you will see me through n bless me abundantly! You will not shortchange me! =D

Tmr's another day of revision n is for my not-so-strong module, calculus! Gonna work hard for it and revise it well!of course not forgetting to pray and live a balanced life!=D

Let me end this blog with a verse that really struck me the past week:

Gal 5:26 (amplified bible)
Let us not become vainglorious and self-conceited, competitive and challenging and provoking and irritating to one another, envying and being jealous of one another.

Remember, be free to love n accept myself and one another without feeling the pressure to compete or compare!=D I am secure in the Lord and will walk according to the plan God has for me! I am not threatened by others!
