Miracles Happen because of God's Grace

Time really really flies in USM. It has been a year now since I enter this "deserted" university in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan. Hahaha... Just finished Phase 1 Professional Exam a few days ago and started my movie marathon since then.

Thinking back, I was still busy with the CNY performance a few months back, balancing dancing training with academic stuff. Everyday, I had at least 4 hours of dancing practice plus at least 4 lecture notes to read up. It was quite stressful but I really did have fun! CNY was closely followed by Selanjar 3 (CA), which all the Chinese feeling quite tense up since we had been submerged in the performance too much that we had lost our directions academic wise. But really thank God that I manage to score an A in the exam. Hehehe.... Happy!

I wanted to prepare for PRO 2 months before, but it seems like I can't get the right mood to concentrate and focus on my studies. Homesickness is the main problem. So, I decided to go home during the first week of study week. I planned to finish at least 4 blocks of notes at home, but guess what? I was addicted to TV shows throughout the week and only managed to scan through less than 3 blocks of notes. Anyway, charging up at home brought new breath to my revision back in the hostel. :)

Reading and memorizing are totally two different things. And so, I get really frustrated when PRO approaches, realizing that I wasn't able to recall most of the things I read previously. The only thing I was able to do is to pray hard. And this time round, I know deep in my heart that I wouldn't be able to do it without God's guidance and blessings. Finally, I learnt to let God and let go. For every exam paper that I sat, I went in with a calm heart and strong faith. It was amazing to have that kind of feeling, especially during this major exam as I've never experienced such calmness ever. Praise the Lord!

Anyway, I just wanted a pass for this exam so that I can get the ticket to go into 2nd year.

And today, the VIVA list has been released. My friends urge me to go and check whether I am in the list. And my only reply was,"Ahhh, its is impossible for me to be in the list." I was still doing beads and then I received a call from PPSG admin, asking me to go for VIVA interview tomorrow!!! Arghhhhh!!! I was so shocked that I manage to get an A for PRO! I was still trembling after putting down the phone, knowing that I'll be shoot by a panel of doctors tomorrow during the VIVA interview. I just don't want to be embarrased. So, should I continue reading tonight or should I just enjoy myself (being shoot by the doctors 2mrw)? Hahaha....

God's grace really guides me through all these and I am grateful for everything that He has given me in life. Thank God! God is good all the time.

The Wisdom In Hot Chocolate

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were discussing their lives at a class reunion. They decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired, who was always an inspiration to them.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work, lives and relationships.

Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups. Some cups were porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite. He invited each to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

When they all had a cup of chocolate in hand, the professor shared his thought.

"Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones."

"While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourself, that is the source of your problems and stress."

"The cup that you are drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink."

"What each of you want was hot chocolate, not the cup....But you consciously went for the best cup."

"And soon, you began to eye one another's cup."

"Now friends, please consider this....."

"Life is the hot chocolate.....

Your job, money, position in the society are the cups."

"They are just tools to hold and contain life."

"The cup you have does not define, nor does it change, the quality of life you are living."

"Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we failed to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us."

Always remember this.....

"God brews the chocolate, He does not choose the cup."

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything."

"They just make the best of everything that they have."

Live Simply......

Love Generously......

Care deeply......

Speak Kindly......

Leave the rest to God

Remember

~The richest people is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least~

Enjoy your hot chocolate!

God Always Answers Prayer

When the idea is not right God says "No".

No ~ When the idea is not the best.

No ~ When the idea is absolutely wrong.

No ~ When it though help you, it could create

.........problems for someone else.

When the time is not right God says "Slow".

What a catastrophe it would be if God answered

every prayer at the snap of your fingers.

Do you know what would happen?

God would become your servant,

not your master.

Suddenly,

God would be working for you

instead of you working for God.

Remember,

God's delays are not God's denials.

God's timing is perfect.

Patience is what we need in prayer.

When you are not right, God says "Grow".

The selfish person has to grow in unselfishness.

The cautious person must grow in courage.

The timid person must grow in confidence.

The dominating person must grow in sensitivity.

The critical person must grow in tolerance.

The negative person must grow in positive attitudes.

The pleasure-seeking person must grow in

compassion for suffering people.

When everything is all right, God says "Go".

Then miracles happen:

A hopeless alcoholic is set free!

A drug addict finds release!

A doubter becomes as a child in his belief.

Diseased tissue responds to treatment,

and healing begins.

The door to your dream suddenly swings open

and there stands God saying, "Go!"

~ Dr. Robert Schuller~

If the Lord has you on hold... hold on!

If the Lord has said "NO" to you... thank Him!

If the Lords is molding your heart and mind... go with His change!

If the Lord opens doors that you have asked Him to open... Praise Him!

Be blessed wherever you are in your life today!

God has His hands on the situation!

Another Masterpiece of God

******

This is a fire rainbow : the rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena. The picture below was captured on the Idaho-Washington border. The event lasted about an hour.

Clouds have to be cirrus, at least 20K feet in the air, with just the right amount of ice crystals; and the sun has to hit the clouds at precisely 58 degrees.

Footprints

One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach

with the LORD.

Across the sky,

he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,

one belonged to him,

and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,

he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of his life

there was only one set of footprints.

He also notices that

it happens at the lowest and saddest times in his life.

.

.

This really bothered him

and he questioned the Lord about it:

LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,

you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that

during the most troublesome times of my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why

when I needed you the most you would leave me.

The LORD replied:

My precious child,

I love you and I would never leave you.

During your time of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that

I carried you.
