Exams!! plus thoughts

This is written for those who got their results or are even taking the exams!
I just want to encourage my classmates serena, kai ling and rozanne...
Don't worry about anything! If you trust in the lord like i do, i am sure he has his reasons in doing everything..and i am very sure that his plan for your life will be so much better then the plans that you yourself plan! Trust me! i know many of you all work very hard for this promotional exam, but i am sure that no matter how hard you work, if God wants you to pass, you will pass!

If you wish to find someone to talk to for encouragement or even a listening ear, you can always call or even sms me!=)

I would like to pray that God will give you the neccessery encouragement and comfort that you need, as long as you pray and believe in him...
As for those who are currently taking their examinations, O or even A lvls, i would like to encourage you and provide you with a verse that tiffany shared with me...
Philippians chap 4 verse 6-7 "Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ"
I hope that this verse will really provide you with comfort!
Oh! btw, the bible say like mulitple times of do not be anxious!
Hmmm..i just wanna thank God so so much! like seriously! cause i dunno...don't you think life becomes so so free with God around to be able to shoulder all your burdens, worries and fears?
lalalala...

oh! a thought came into my mind during school hours while talking to serena...
In good times, when ppl are happy, they will praise God and love him and really really thank him like lots!!
However, in the bad times, it is so so difficult to love God and thank him...
In my experience, i found out that many of the christians backslide because of all these problems they face in life and they just do not have the passion for God anymore...
This is because, they do not see the big picture that God sees...(for all those who take econs, i am talking about the long run benefits and successes)
Thats why, i fear that my friends or even anyone will just hate God because they cannot obtain their personal goals at the moment!
You know, there is one encounter when i went into IMH (institute of mental health), there was this girl, she was a christian before...she was there because she suffered from depression and start to cut herself when she face problems in life...her choice wasn't having a prayer or even to turn to God...the first question that i asked God is "God, why did you let her go?" then i realise that she wasn't very closely intune with God...if she is, she wouldn't have cut herself because she would have known that our body is considered as a temple of God and we really have to treasure it and not to abuse it.
Why called temple?
It is because God lives within us and he uses us to be a living testimony to others!

OH!! Do you know that when one becomes a christian, satan has to ask God for permittion first before he can attack us?! COOL RIGHT?!
hmmm..you may ask, then why God wants to let satan attack us? Ain't we his children?
God wants his children to stand strong for him and not just being a christian that dies off easily...
He wants to test our faith and to love him no matter what we face! Don't you think that if you are God, you would want to find out who truely loves you and who do not?

I feel that we have to thank God for all the troubles that we have and the problems that we encounter? Do you realise that when we face the different troubles like exams, family or even realtionship problems we will tend to run towards God? this will help us to strengthen the relationship with God!

My father ever once told me, why would you want to believe in God so that you can do the impossible and things that are beyond your own capabilities?
hmmm...i feel that why wouldn't you wanna experience the impossible and the things beyond your wildest dreams?
When you believe in God and make him as your one and only saviour, it is not just about doing the impossible...it is more about having a friend and helping one get through all the troubles of life!

Have you ever thought about what life is all about? i thought about it once when i was around 13 to 14? i asked my parents and relatives...and the answer that they give is "life is like a cycle, you live and then you die and then you recarnate"
In the past, i feel a sense of emptiness in my heart, like something is really missing...
i mean, like you just go to school everyday, come home, eat, sleep and watch tv like for 365 days in a year? As for the adults, you all just work, home, sleep, work, home, sleep? Is there any meaning in all this? These are things that i thought of...

As you know, i was from a buddist family and i couldn't feel anything nor gain any help from the budda...
When i got to know God and really draw closer to him, i realise that this emptiness in my heart is now being filled! i feel so much happier as a person and i started to talk alot and kinda loudly! (cause previously i am a very quiet and not very sociable). Once i got to know God, things change and all the burdens that i previously have just disappears! haha=)
Oh! if you don't believe me, you can go and take a look at my blog when i was sec one! (nicoleliang.blogspot.com)..i just saw it yesterday...
I feel that i have changed from a very unhappy little girl with lots of complains to a joyful one!
And it is all because of God! He transformed me! yay!

God loves you!!
