Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
I guess it's been over a month since I last updated and I do apologise for the huge delay. The last time I blogged, I guess I was still in the middle of exams. I must've been more stressed than I felt because I lost a ton of weight, which concerned me ever so slightly since I was eating LOADS at the same time. Anyway, the long weight for results are over and I'm sorry to disappoint so many but they are BAD.
I opened my email yesterday and a flood of emotions followed from the news. Right now, I'm waiting for my Uni to tell me what to do next. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to graduate this month though technically, I still have enough credits to get a 2:2 (like B-). It was a great reminder from a friend almost immediately after I got my results that if I graduate, I praise Him and if I don't, I praise Him. It certainly is a huge challenge for me and it was really hard to not wallow in my failure and disappointment.
This morning at Church, we sang 'Eagle's Wings'. You know it?
'Here I am waiting. Abide in me, I pray. Here I am longing for You. Hide me in Your love. Bring me to my knees. May I know Jesus more and more. Come live in me, all my life, take over. Come breathe in me and I will rise on eagle's wings.'
I guess as I continue to wait upon the Lord, this is my opportunity to really discover more of Him. Praise the Lord indeed that He does not require a piece of paper or any qualification and that He can still use me as I am. For this, I praise Him! Please do continue to pray for me though as I wait for instructions for the next week. Whatever the future holds, whether far into the future or even just tomorrow, He is there and is still in control. I am abundantly blessed with such supportive friends and family and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with me in prayer and support too.
Will keep you updated.:)
Until then, meditating again on His promises...
"Trust in the Lord will ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding..." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
"Rejoice in the Lord always... be anxious for nothing... and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding il guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus... to be content..." (Philippians 4)
