2 first-times

Ha! As if you had a choice...you'd have to allow me for breaking grammatical rules. :)

I'm currently experiencing the last stretch of my second to the last semester of being a college student, by my Father's grace. Whew!

Seriously, it's all about Him. His voice. His plans. His hand upon my life. His eyes looking through me. His hug whenever I feel alone. His abounding love. His immeasurable grace. Guess what? He's literally more than any word you can think of to describe Him. What do you expect, He is everything.

Just recently, I witnessed His grace of wisdom. Not once, but twice. Both in the context of not having been really prepared for final exams. Yeah, THE final exams. It's the very last shot you get to prove to your professor that you deserve a good grade. Don't ask why I wasn't able to prepare for those exams, coz I'm not gonna tell you anyway. ;P

I'll let you in on this "secret," anyway. Hehe Moments before each exam, I had no worries. Some might think it's just plain confidence. But I beg to disagree. I was nervous. Hello? I was about to take an exam and I barely finished reading through my notes, let alone the books. But there was peace from within, I was in a state of calmness. I felt this before, but most of the time it's because I was confident of the fact that I did my review. But this one's different.

He's definitely up to something.

What does one do in that situation? None but pray. Now that sounds foolish, you'd say. And I'd agree with you. After not having done my part, I pray and ask Him to do His part? That seems too selfish and insensitive. But really, what would you do? Hmm?

And so I did pray. Haha! I asked for His His brains. I know I do not deserve any part of it. But He really is a Gracious God. Wala na akong masabi. :)

If you're gonna ask how I did on those two exams, I don't have the numbers, yet. But I answered the questions, most of them in essay, quite smoothly. Yey! Hehe He's in control. And He doesn't need to prove it.

<flash praise report: after having been one of the poorest presentors during our mock defense, our group ranked 2nd best in class for the final defense! haha! yey Lord!>

He's definitely up to great and unimaginable things. Need I say more? :)
