chinese results

well school i must say has been really exhausting and the first few days have left me really drained, with many assignments still on the 'to-do' list.

but i thank God for my chinese results i got back today. i managed to obtain the highest possible grade, which is 7 points for the exam. yes, 255 out of the 271 who took the exam got 7 points too, and the standard of the chinese language wasnt that high, but i really thank God for my grade because it is kind of like a triumph for me. this is the first time 1 john 5:14 - 15 came alive an incident; uncle winston quoted this verse for me on the last night of the mission trip during the affirmations. i did not really take the verse to heart back then, but i memorised it anyway and i really see how powerful it is now.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything
according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we
ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

before the exam i was praying to God to help me through this exam, and he really did pull me through. right before the release of the results i told myself that whatever grade i got, i would say a prayer immediately to God, through the noise, through the shouts of joy. and now i really feel that i really dont owe my achievement entirely to myself, but that God's hand was firm in guiding me.

schools getting tougher, my body, mind, and emotional level is getting weaker, but it's comforting to know that God knows my weaknesses, and that one day they will all be stripped away.
