Just checked my past semester's exam results just now. Well, it's not that well. Well, I failed a subject. To be honest, I was kind of prepared for this all this while. Of course I did encountered a lot of problems just before this particular paper, but it's not really a good excuse for the amount of effort I've put into it. It's the first failed paper I've had in my whole life! Guess this is a lesson for me to learn.
I pray that this semester, I'll be able to put the best effort I can on my studies, while balancing my time for my service for God as well as other commitments. This is something I want to do this semester ever since I received a 'wake up' call in CF Camp. I've always wanted to become a testimony for God in the campus and all this while I've put a lot of effort in my service for Him. I thought that as long as my results are 'ok ok' it'll be fine. The camp really shook me and reminded me of my purpose in campus. How can I become a testimony to my coursemates or my Christian friends or even my lecturers if my results are bad?
The speaker of the camp, Bro. Winson heard something very sad from one of his students from TARC. A lecturer once said something like this," Oh, the Christian student...He's always into these God stuff, but his studies is a mess!" This made me really think of the role I've been playing all this while. Am I a testimony? Can I do better?
I don't have to be the best in my studies, but I can be MY best. So, have I been doing my best? This is something I pray that I will not lose sight for the rest of my college years.
Praise God for my results!! I take this time as a really valuable lesson and I thank God for letting me realize this; even sometimes it means giving me a wake up "slap".
Soli Deo Gloria! All Glory to God alone!!
God bless.
