RJ quest

Thursday, July 3, 2008

yesterdays RJ was really a question that really help to refresh my memory and which remind me of god's love and his wisdom. below is what i rote:

What is the most special experience in your life so far? How has it affected your perspective of life?

The most special thing that I experience in life happens last year. It is also that time that changes my view on god.
Previously, people keep telling me that he is real and living and that he will perform miracles and that he works in way that we cannot see. All I have is just head knowledge and not experience and therefore I don’t really believe that it will happen. But now I can say that I believe fully in him since I have experience him.
It all started when I was very engrossed in my co-curriculum activity which is choir. I had many performances and competition coming up. And as the dates are nearing to the O’level dates, my parents were against me continuing it as it somehow affected my studies.
However, on the other hand, I liked that CCA a lot and really wanted to continue in it. Furthermore, I had a position in it which assured me that I can obtain an A if I continue to participate actively. And I did not want to waste all the effort that I have put in for the last few years which can actually achieve an A but if I do not continue, I would be down-graded to B which is a waste if I were to quit.
At this point of time, I was really disappointed and pressurised. I tried to tell my parents that I did not want to quit but they keep insisting on it. So I turned to someone that most people would think that it is superficial and is not true, which is God. I was telling him that if I am really meant to quit, he (God) have to plan a way for me.
Weeks passed. The decision has been made by my parents. I had to quit choir partially. It means that I go for choir only once a week and that I do not need to go to any performances and the competition. Moreover, the teacher-in-charge said that I would get a grade B definitely. I was angry at the moment as I thought that all my efforts were gone and at that moment I asked myself: is this God that I know as true as what others had said?
Months passed and it was time for the preliminaries exam. After our last paper the head of department of CCA gave us our score sheet of CCA to allow us to check whether there is any mistake such as missing out events that we participated but he did not record. When I receive the sheet, I was surprised and shocked that I actually got A. All of a sudden, this thought came to my mind that it is actually God that helped me through to allow me to get an A so that I can deduct 2 points from my O’level result which indeed helped me a lot.
From then on, I started to believe that He is indeed true and living and also, I started to cast more of my care upon him believing that he will help me to solve it in his own ways which will benefit me a lot.

haha...is kind of long...hope i can get a better grade this time...
