:) Woohoo!

Exams are over! Even while walking my steps seem to be lighter. Oh well, it's only exams right, haha. Haven’t felt so much euphoria in a long time, like my old dog going crazy over a treat. I remember staying at home the entire week, and unknowingly started having a moustache, haha, very untidy. Well at least my mom always cooked and I didn't have to worry about getting hungry :) I must really make good use of this one month break. Which reminds me, I must start training for IPPT…

Had QT with caixia laoshi and a question she asked struck me, 你知道神有多伟大吗? Honestly, I'm not certain, I cant even imagine. If I really understood and appreciated this, then I wouldn't take God lightly. We were talking about the immensity of apostle Paul's joy compared to ours because of the suffering he has endured. In other words God chooses whom He pleases to entail hardship upon, because that person is able to persist and as a result grow closer to God.

Something I read that I find related:

孔子说: "假我五十, 足已学矣, 免大过也。" "孰能无过, 过而能改, 善而大焉。"
圣经约伯说: "我的罪高过我的头。"
大卫说: "我在母腹中已经有了罪。"
保罗说: "在罪人中我是罪魁。"
这些话都是伟大的人讲的。

Hmm, they knew God very well.

Pillow, thank you.

You never fail to provide such warm support.
You’re around even when I don’t ask.
I can be at ease with you, no pretence.
Even though I don’t tell, but I’ve learnt so much from you.
Wise, approachable, selfless, dedicated, mature yet childish.
You’re turning 50, doesn’t seem like it, but it is.
I pray that you will continue to be a source of comfort, encouragement and wisdom to more sleepy people and bring them to God.
Thank you Pillow :)
