The most amazing things happen sometimes, and I know they are nothing less than God's grace and power.

Remember I was quite disappointed with getting B for HCL because it was one of my stronger subjects. Well the next day while I checking the marksheet I found out my grade was an A!
I then heard from my friends that the teachers decided to round up your score to the next grade if you're only short by 1 mark. So my final grade for HCL jumped from B to A, and I didn't even pray for it! God really knows my heart, and I really wanna thank Him!

And there's more to come..

I got back all my major papers last week, except Physics and Elective Geog. Because I know my Physics is not reliable (highest ever was B4), I didn't take it into consideration, and I calculated my minimum L1R5 to be 12, nothing less. Well I wasn't disappointed, nor was I very happy with the score. I just accepted it. With 12 I'm eligible for JC, and I'm glad enough already.

Then I was talking to Lim Young one of the nights online, as he shared with me how God was working in his life and how he got the scores he got, I was reminded of God's kindness to all of us, and by trusting in God, leaving everything to Him without worry, He will give what is best for us. And I remember feeling immensely amazed by God's control over our lives and how much He takes care of us, and as I stopped worrying where I'm gonna end up next year, all I could do was think how great and powerful God was.

Then Monday came, time for Elect Geog and Physics papers to be returned. And guess what? I actually got an A1 for Physics! To have distinction for Physics is like having climbed Mt Everest for me! It was such an impossible task, and I know without strength and help from God, it'd never have been attainable. It is to God's credit once again, and not my efforts alone. With another A1 the minimum I can get for my L1R5 actually dropped by 2pts! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could actually get anything lower than 12! This is truly and surely God's hand at work.

Through all these God has taught me how His ways are and will always be way way above mine, and how to let Him take the driver seat, to let Him take control of my life while I follow where He leads me. It is not my will but God's, and I have learnt to trust in Him, put my best in all I do, and leave the rest to Him, and He will take care of everything else. I cannot fully describe how comforted I feel knowing this..

I think God's love and graciousness is like the sea - vast and immeasurable. And God is really good to me, so good I don't think I even deserve it.

Thank You so much.

The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse, nor will He harbour His anger forever; He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him;
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
