Today went by in a whizz.
I'm so glad there was a thanksgiving worship session. It was great to be able to bring back the focus to God before the release of the results. Oh and there was this beautiful song we sang...
Till I See Youby Hillsong United
The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You
With all I am I'll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be doneAnd till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You
I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You
You are a voice that called the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you
You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your nameYou know, after the worship, i wasn't nervous about my results at all. I just felt God's peace in my heart. It's just as these verses from Philippians 4:6-7 say: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
When they flashed all the top scorers' names on the screen, and i just felt so proud of everyone, especially those from a1. And at the same time I got more and more nervous about my own results. Then mrs chen started giving out the certs, and it seemed like forever before it reached my turn. I don't like having the last register number. haha.
What i saw on the results slip was completely unexpected, in both a good and bad sense. I'm pleasantly surprised by my english and humans... but some other subjects were disappointing. like a math! =(
But i still know that whatever i have is by God's grace; I couldn't have got through o levels without Him.
My parents were really nice about my results. I'm getting 50 bucks per a1. yay!
To those who met or exceeded their targets, congrats!
And to those that didn't, it's okay. Remember it's just one exam, and your results are part of a bigger plan- God's plan. I Thessalonians 5:16-18 --'Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.' AMEN.
It's more important to earn good grades on God's report card for us =).
Lord I Offer My Life To YouAll that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you O Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaim
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours
Chorus:
Lord I offer my life to You
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to You
Lifting my praise to You
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer You my life
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my hopes, all of my plans
My heart and my hands are lifted to You.
