He gives and takes away.
the past week can simply be described by one word along: BUSY.
we totally reached the maximum quota of tests you can have in a week. on wednesday, GP Mock Exam; on thursday, GP Package test; on friday, Geog test. and you know what, i think this is going to be the worst geog test i ever did. im just hoping for a pass. SIGH. i totally didnt plan my time wisely and thus, byebye to my A grade! to top them all off, i had my GP resource file and assessment file due on friday too. and i had to stay back on mon and tues for unofficial sectionals to learn teachers' day songs. so as you can see, the week was really burning me out.
thank goodness there's no more official cca until after Promos. so this means i was home today! haha.. a thing that is not very often ever since i entered JC. did my math tutorial 19 which took me an awfully long time. then i slacked around in between to watch Time Between Dog and Wolf. Lee Jun Ki rocks. heh.
in the evening, i went with my parents to NUH to visit Mr Lee who lives in Blk 47. as i heard him speak of his mishaps since he was very young, i couldnt help but tear.(of course, i tried my best to control and if they do come out, i tried to conceal it.) it just was such a powerful testimony on how God did so much to protect him despite him not believing in God. there were so many instances where God somehow saved him from dying.
that just impacted me a lot. it's like, here's this guy who suffered so much and went through so much. i look at myself and think of how healthy i am, how blessed i am to have my family by my side till now. and the fact i have an awesome education and relatively good standard of living. many others are just like me. however, because our lives appear so fantastic and problem-free that we just forget about God. God is so merciful to everyone; He kept on picking Mr Lee up from the depths of death even before he gave his life to Jesus. how much more can God do for us who believes Him? but we just always 'forget' to attribute the good things in our lives to God.
He is a God who gives and takes away. our lives belong to Him, believers or non-believers alike. when we say we believe in Him, we are saying that we are willing to acknowledge this fact and really let Him rule over our lives. do we have to go through what Mr Lee went through to understand how God works? i hope not.
on another note altogether, i was just wondering whether i should give a shot at Medicine for Uni. haha. i'll prob just aim to be a GP and not specialise. then i can do a post-grad on Psycho. well, just a passing thought.
