the exhausting period of exams have just passed, thank God! :) i've learnt so much this june hols about myself, about God. i attended the youth camp, Built to Last, and it helped to open my eyes and accept myself for who i am. lots of self-esteem issues that i have battled with the past few years, i feel that all have been resolved, all glory to God! i used to be ashamed about my appearance, my weight, my talents, and the list goes on. i figured out that it is just a growing up process that everyone will face at some point or other. yes, people can compare me to this person and that person, but ultimately i cannot please everyone. there won't be a situation where everyone will pleased and what matters most is how i feel about myself and what God thinks about me. i can honestly say that i felt very inferior as compared to my siblings to in almost every aspect. but with the help from God, i'm proud to say that i'm more comfortable in my skin and i'm just going to be who i am, what God destined me to be. this trying period of exams, i'm super super thankful to God for putting people around me, giving me encouragements and advice at the point when i need most :) i'm sure this is all orchestrated by Him, and it is true that He doesn't leave you but He gave me the courage to face my mid years. this round of exams was particularly tough for me, more so than all the others. of course, it is testing the whole syllabus and it overwhelmed me. i was emotionally unprepared to face all of this and i thought i will collapse under the immense pressure. i did actually, once. but i got back up again, and continued working. thanks to zing, terence, yin qi, emme, just to name a few who really gave me the encouragement to continue to press on! :) despite the results, i can really say that i've given my best and i know that there are still many areas that i will need to improve on in all my subs. God will get me through, He will! karen also told me, God has a plan for all of us, and all we need to do is to trust Him wholeheartedly. even though society's perception of success is the convention of getting a degree in uni.. or getting masters. of course, it will guarantee a high salary, but i'm sure God will lead me to a path for me to go. for the rest of the year till A levels, i will commit everything to His hands, and just do my best!
