Just want to share some personal thought my first 3 weeks.. I kind of start my year in church since they have service on the 1st of January 2011. Ironically, I feel that I am starting a bad year. To tell you the truth, I don't expect good things happening this year, maybe because I thought that 2010 will be my best year. However, I was mistaken. God showed me that it is not true. He promised me that this year will be yet another great year. I am really thankful that God has shown me the truth and I shall believe in it, and repent from my pessimistic view.
Nevertheless, God never promise bed of roses as we go through our life. It is evident. My malay results, my EE, my TOK, and my CCA shall testify that. The first week of school was really bad. I thought I didn't want to come to school again. However, during the first weekend, going to the church was really hard. However, I did not regret coming to church, because that weekend, I just feel like I receive a new strength to move on. I started to believe that this year is going to be the best year yet. As the week progresses to second and third week, it is getting better and better. I found that even though the workload is not decreasing, I just feel that I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me.
If my life is like a bed of roses, then I do not require faith. If everything is certain, I do not have to trust Him. The fact that life is full of suspense and challenges, makes my faith grow and my character refined.
I do not know what I will face in the following weeks, but one thing I know is that "everything will work out for good for those who put their trust in the Lord".
