Humility

Finally, it’s finally~!!
I get to feel the real meaning of being inferior…
It’s not a good feeling though.

One of my main reason of coming to NUS to do my undergraduate is
to challenge myself, push myself to the limits!
Well, I did~
I’m far beyond my limits now.
Sleep deprived + piled up assignments + lagged behind time in syllabus

Finally, I understand how one can fail a test~!

I must say, I’m truly grateful that I have great teachers who guided me all along, especially the tuition teachers.
But being spoon fed for the past 19 years, finally, I understand what is
real studying~

Finally, I understand that 24hours a day is really not enough.
How I wish I will not need to sleep.

Finally, I get to experience what is the meaning of being lonely
and the importance of having friends.

Finally, I get to feel what it is like to be defeated and hopeless.
I get to feel the importance of always going back to God~!

Aha~!! Now I got my own story!
Year 2006…. so many things happened~!
In fact, the amount of growth I get this year far surpass my teenage years.
It’s just so amazing~!
Looking back, I can see God’s hand on every single event that happened.
His plans somehow works perfectly fine.
As what my father have said,

神试验人为要提升我们上等的品格。
试探则增加人下等的品格。

I know this phrase was translated by my father from english.
But haha… somehow I only caught the chinese version of it.

All the "testings" that God has allowed it to happen really uplifted me in every aspect of my life, spiritually, socially, and intellectually (not so in my studies but knowledge in other areas)

Ah-ha~ the topic of this post is "Humility" right?
Well, of all the things that I’ve learned, understood, acquired, obtained… so far taught me a great lesson!!
That is, without God, I’m nothing.
It’s by His grace that I’ve managed to come thus far.
Really grateful!

 

Life is just so fun!!!
God is just so good!!

note: (to those who at one time felt that I’m a bit odd.)
I think I’m becoming more and more normal.
Normal as in being able to feel what normal people will feel when certain situation arises.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Hmmm….. But the process of me getting all these enlightening is a bit unique.
But I guess everyone of us is special, all of us have our own unique story.

I’m still sticking to the Vision of ministering to the 2nd generation christians!
I don’t think this is a new issue in christianity, there must be books around..
Hmmmm….
