Hi all, this is my very first post on Secell blog and the 2nd in my entire life.. haha.. Well I guess most of you should be still having exams or is about to finish by now. Weekend is here!! Persevere on. I was sharing on how I get through my University life for the past 3 years and I mention a little on how I cope with my exams. To me the first year of exams for me is a horrid time. I was super stressed up (before & after my papers). I did not share this during my sharing but someone told me (after a year) that my character, things I do was hurting to the person. The worst thing is that I didn't even realize it. I really felt bad after that and of course I apologised. The main reason why I share this is that there are times when the things of the world get to us and we just forget to watch our tongue and actions and now I do my best to think before speaking.

It was after my first semester that I begin to remember what God has promised me in the beginning. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I always pray to God this thing saying, "God you brought me into this course, I'm going to trust that you are going to bring me out of it." From then on exams to me are just another part of my life. I no longer feeling extremely stressed up (It does not mean I have not stress at all. haha).

Recently I came across this part of the bible which says,
"But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside. I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread." Job 23: 10-12
I know that now is the busy period for most of us but remembers to spent time alone with God. It’s a struggle sometimes between studying for the exam the next day. I personally struggled with it before and I can say it’s not easy but is definitely essential.

That’s all for now till the next time I blog again for my 3rd post in my life. “Gambade” (Hope I get the spelling right) for now. Just a few more days to go…

Even as we go through the exam periods, it is good to reflect upon just why are we studying so hard for. As Daniel mentioned during last Sunday's Masterlife session, we should not be too caught up in grades, and instead should just study hard and entrust the results to God. Of course, this is easier said than done; we all worry for our results. It is during such times that this particular verse has helped me:


"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7

Indeed, the peace of God is a wonderful thing to have during trying times such as exams. Something to note here is that we should present our requests to God with thanksgiving. It's hard to imagine going to God and say: "Thank you God for the exams.", but in essence that's what these verses are saying, that we should be thankful in all circumstances. It's part of the process of renewing our minds, something we just covered last week. So the next time you present your request(s) to God, let's do so with a thankful heart and also with faith, that God will carry us through.
