James 1:2-4

James 1:2-4 (NLT)
Dear brothers and sisters,when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.


There's a limit to everything. Cant believe that i actually break down after bearing it for a week plus. I was trying to control my tears during class on tuesday, but once it's time for lunch break, tears just kept welling up my eyes,leaving big drop of warm tears trickling down my cheeks as i ate the noodles. ohwells. How long more do i have to face all these?

Today, i woke up late, heart was still feeling heavy. I was praying hard that I wont be late for class and the chef wont pick on me again. Listening to my mp3 on my way to school, the moment the song "I need Thee every hour" was played, tears started forming again. It was good to depend upon God every moment. The bus came late and i was looking at the time anxiously every minute it goes by. In my heart, i was like, why?? Do i really have to be late today and face the music later in class? One of my classmates texted me and told me that the rest were already in the lab, i was the last to reach. I was praying so hard that i can make it in class by 11am. 10.50am was the time that i alighted from the stop. By the time i reached school, it was already 10.53am. I rushed like mad. Ran to the locker, changed into my uniform, and rushed into the lab. Just when i was about to the enter the lab, i heard my chef told one of my classmates to close the door. Phew. I was just on time! When i looked at the clock, it was exactly 11am. Apologize to the chef and he asked me why i was late. Told him my reason, and surprisingly, he let me off. woahh, throughout this whole process, i can feel God's grace upon it! and wow, the chef didnt really do anything to me today. hahah.. and i choose to believe that it's really the protection from God :) really thankful to God for seeing me through my lab today!

Everyday is like a battle for me and i need to depend upon God every moment. Will continue to surrender the rest of this week unto my gracious Lord! Though along the way, it really hurts me a lot, i will continue to press on and keep trusting Him. Everything happened for a reason, His perfect plan, to God be the glory!
