With a turn, I look and smile. Saying, "Indeed I've grown. Indeed I've matured. Indeed I'm blessed and indeed God is real because indeed, He has carried me through all that I've gone through."
This is one of my bestf, Yun and I. In the year 2007.
I know I skipped all the way back to the end of my Dark forest memory reminiscing collection but I feel its appropriate.
After all these years, my goals in life has changed. My aspiration has changed and so have my personality. I've learnt a lot, I've seen a fair bit and I've done numerous things.
Today I had my parent teacher interview (like I've mentioned in my earlier post), if you knew after getting my results back I was hugely disappointed. I didn't meet any of my goals. Not even the subjects that I've been soaring in. I prayed, I worked hard and I kept my promise to praise God no matter how I have done. Some of you might say: Hey, don't give up it's okay, you can do better next time. Or even some: Where was your God then when you needed Him?
He was there all this while. He was there the day I was just an embryo. He was there when I was a foetus. He was there when my fingerprints and footprints were being engraved onto me. He was there when I took my first cry. He was there when that surfer saved my life. He was there when I scooped that girl out. He was there when I sat my paper and He is there no matter where I'm headed.
Though I didn't do as well as I thought I could, I actually learnt an important lesson through God not granting me my request to reach my goals. He made me realise that He is far greater than these. Today, going for the parent teacher interview, being compared to my year level, I'm actually doing really well. 1st in Math, 5th in English, Top 10 for Human Bio, A for chinese and 18th in Chemistry. "Improving" was the common word I've heard. & The common question from dad: What could she do to improve further to reach her goals of As? & their replies are: "She's already doing it."
Frankly, if I am not who I am today, I wouldn't be where I'm at. I use to be the one who goes the opposite direction. What do I mean? When someone says: You must study. I rebel and never study but instead always play. When they say: You need to be quiet. I will say: I'll show you what it means to be noisy then and make a heck of a chaos.
So after all, God did deliver me. To Him all the credit goes for giving me such burning passion, such perseverance, such willingness and such obedience because honestly, it's a MIRACLE because I'm not that kind of person. But now, He, the One who blessed me so richly has been moulding me. This unworthy child. In awe.
& I miss you Yun Xin. I am exhilarated that you guys will be throttling by. :)
