Sorry this is late!
As usual, I forgot that it was my turn to post about QT. not used to this yet. hardly even update my blog these days... Thanks Jon for the reminder.
Been super duper busy the past week, cos i'm taking up so many new things: frisbee, german language, part-time work at school, preparing for interviews, ocf comm meetings, oh ya, and studies. studies always come last these days. not good, not good. i always try to do things by my own strength and sometimes i just get so stressed out by everything and i snap at ppl around me. but reading Proverbs 16 (now i read one chapter of proverbs a day according to the date) reminded me of my purpose and who i should rely on for strenght and wisdom. Prov 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed". and v9: "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." v 33: "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord."
This reminded me that, no matter how much I plan things and want it to go my way, if I do not commit it to God, it is nothing. All my efforts will be wasted. Some ppl say that interviews are about luck. If you're lucky, the interviewer will like you no matter how ur CV looks like. Or you may be super good, but if they don't like you, you won't get it. If you're lucky, your competitors are not as good as you. Or if you're lucky, your application gets picked up. Sometimes I get over-confident, but so many times, God has reminded me that it is not my own strength that I am getting all these opportunities and that I should always, always rely on him. Lesson: Be humble, and ask God for wisdom and favour, and that He will reveal his plans for you and open the right doors. We as Christians should know where we stand, and with God on our side, we have nothing to fear!
Yup, guess that's about it. Pray for me as I prepare for interviews and juggle so many things. God's strength and not mine!
