Amazing II

I received a sad news yesterday. That was the first call from baby. Baby said he cannot come to Australia to study anymore. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I wasn't ready for this, as we have been planning on his arrival and others more. The news hit be badly.

Then, baby went out to talk with his dad. He is not my dad, and I don't have time to bug him or his dad forever. So, I'm sure this is my final chance, to put all my faith to believe in Jesus. I did my final prayer on this matter, said that I'll leaving everything onto Jesus, and that I don't have to worry about anything already.

True enough. I called baby after a moment. And guess what, he can come study in Australia!

Oh Lord Jesus, thanks for answering my prayer.

I'm sure alot of people will think that this is ridiculous, God doesn't answer prayers in minutes. Well, firstly, I have been praying on this matter. Secondly, miracles do happen.

Amazing

I remember vividly the time when I was taking my AFW1300 Money and Capital Markets exam. It was the most terrible feeling I've ever had.

*Before the exam:*

I was struggling. VERY. There were 13 chapters in our text book. I hadn't studied all. I only read through around 7 chapters, if not mistaken. This is a very dangerous situation for me, because in the exam, there would be around 6 questions. "What if all 6 questions come from the chapters that I hadn't touched?" or "What if half of the questions I hadn't studied before".

I cannot fail any of my exam for that semester. If I fail, then my dream to further my studies in Australia would be crushed in pieces. FML! I cannot take any chance. I want to PASS!!!!

Well the night before the exam, I was studying in my room. I was feeling very nervous, so I prayed to God, for guidance and memory. After my prayer, I continued with what I was studying. I felt a sudden urge that I have to study this particular chapter (which I have already studied weeks ago, which I will forget due to nervousness).

Initially, I thought that this was a waste of time! I have already studied that chapter, I want to continue studying other chapters that I haven started with. Deep down I had a feeling God wanted me to revise that chapter. I keep quiet and just followed.

*Exam day:*

I called my mom earlier that day, I told her I wasn't prepared for the paper. I'm scared that I will fail. Actually, I have been calling her for the past few days to tell her how scared and affraid I am of THAT paper. My lovely mom didn't give me any pressure, she just told me to try my best. She didn't even nag or me or anything! *SO LOVELY*

Then, I prayed again before entering the exam hall. Everyone was nervous, because AFW1300 was a pre-requisite subject with a failing rate of approximately 50%. ARGH.

So I sat down at my place and looked at the question paper. "Hmmm, this looks familiar..familiar..familiar.." I thought. The very last question, "OMG THIS WAS THE CHAPTER I STUDIED! The questions were a little bit different from the usual tutorial question, but I studied! I know how to answer!" Proud to say, I did my paper with confident =)

Write...write...write...scribble..scribble...scribble...Punch calculator...

It was a 3-hour closed book exam. I think I finished my paper in about 2-hours. I lift up my head and saw a lot of people still writing, A WHOLE LOT OF ANSWERS. FULL PAGE ESSAYS. I was like, WHAT? I started to become nervous. Did I miss anything?
*Checks answers* I know, I am the type of person who will not walk out of the exam hall earlier. I don't wanna regret in any of my papers. I'm affraid that I'll suddenly think of something that I can jot down in my answer script.

*After the exam:*

I feel so relieved, I thank God for all the guidance and strength and faith I had in Him. I called my mom and told her everything I experience, and baby was there too. The whole thing, from how nervous I was, to how calm it can feel after that, it was unbelievable!

A person who was no hope of passing the paper, in the end got a "D for Distinction"! This is awesome!

Praise God for what he has done.
