School's started. Had this hope and this expectant joy when i first stepped into year two of college life. Surely, that is the hope and joy that the Lord has blessed me with. The refreshment during youth conference and simple yet pure joy amidst the Christmas celebrations. When i think of him, i am just humbled.
We did not have any tut in the first week of school. =)(Such good things dont come by very often) Song, tim, leb and me spent most of our time hanging out after school. Did my QT faithfully. We had dinner with teacher gerald and elaine. The sharing really benefited me a lot. It was just so uplifting, so encouraging. I felt that their lives did reflect the beauty of the Lord and I was just so compelled to do my part for the Lord too, allowing him to take the place that He deserves.
Sadly, that was the end to a wonderful week. This week has been quite bad. With all the work piling up endlessly and activities resuming, I was just so carried away. i am just so glad that i can now view things in a more positive light. How then can I keep that focus? The troubles (and ironically, the enticing traps) of the world, the worldly pursuits (that merely provide temporal satisfaction), the giving in to the flesh.. Love not the WORLD. I should just focus more on His Word. I realise how easy it is to slip away and depend on others, rather than the Lord Almighty.
I had made some new resolutions for the new year. One is to keep the focus on the Lord. Let him take the centrestage. keeping my eyes on him. Also, I need to try and think of studying as a responsibility that he has delegated to me. If I do well, I am doing my father proud. I really need to get that into perspective before I actually start on this Alevel year. Sometimes, pondering over the last year, i realise how meaningless and blind i was. =) I must also try and excercise more often. Like 2-3 times a week. It all revolves around the idea of being mentally tenacious.
The memory verse that we learnt in church proved to be really useful. At times, pride sorta got into me. But let not the "wise men glory in his wisdom". To put things into perspective, i am not even that smart in the first place, just plain hardworking. It must be all that teasings that really seeped into me. *praying that i may be humble. All things are left to Him.
