Focusing On The Focus

Wow, its been weeks since I last blogged. Have to admit that my projects has got the better of me. The sian-zation is really hitting me, imagine the loads of work I have up for next week and you will know how I am feeling right now.

Let me see, I have a OB online quiz test to be done by end of this week, a BCS test, Sociology Test, 2 Microeconomics article analysis to submit, Japanese presentation, Communication Skills Job stimulation interview, Marketing Case study to submit,BCS excel spreadsheet to hand-in and my MST to follow the week after and projects to do during the hols.Arggghhh, I'm like dying inside. Sleepless nights is killing me and the stress is really reaching its peak. Thank God for Joshua, he is always there when I needed someone to pray.

Sometimes I just question myself, have I lost my focus while trying hard to do God's work. I don't mean that SLTC or whatever church activities adds to my stress or anything. I just want to make sure that my heart's condition is right when I am serving God. I might have made some minor careless mistakes in the past which had made me distracted for quite sometime, distracted enough to be lost in whatever I was doing.

However, the one big thing that I want to ask big for this season is that whatever work I'm doing, it will be a form of worship to God. The reason why I want to have good grades, why I am sacrificing my sleep is because I want to bring glory to God. I'm looking forward for my holidays for that is the time where I can really grow deeper with God. So many songs in my mind yet so little time to pen it down. I have not learn how to discipline myself in that area but I know that God would teach me how to in His time.

The one thing I pray for is for God to make my life a miracle, help me to shine my light in this dark world and welcome back the lost. Proverbs 3:5-6 is a verse that really speaks out to me. Thank you Lord for all you've done.

My Strength In Him

The start of school hasn't really been a smooth one for me, history of animosity brew up when it seemed settled and at times I just feel very discouraged by the things going around me. But one thing that I can praise the Lord for is my strength in Him.

Just like the story of David who was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.

I realise that the bible always remind me to be strong and courageous and not be afraid or discouraged. So just as it is written in 2 Corinthians 12:10,"for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Each time I'm persecuted, I rejoice for I find my strength in the Lord. It may not be easy at the beginning, but i feel greatly encouraged whenever I rely in God as He will always make my path straight. In 1John2:14, "because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one."

I will study hard for my education for God. Not because I want to show off or prove anything to men but for the glory of the Most High. Indeed, I will make sure I won't end this year in defeat, but in victory and truly make this year the Year of Victory!

So be encouraged people, there may be times when you feel that things might not be going your way. But take courage, for God has overcome the world. God says that there is only One way to follow, that is to follow Jesus for He is the way, the truth and the life!
