You study everyday;
and you feel like having fun at the same time. I mean, all the time!
Anyway,
Life has been great here. Realized that time passes so fast. It is already half of the semester, and it has been a week since Spring Break.
Did nothing much during the break. Went to SixFlags in Dallas, TX, and to the zoo in OKC. Other than that I was just lying around and being lazy, not forget to study a little bit.
Somehow I did so much better in my tests. Getting A means scoring at least 90. It seems impossible but I put in the same effort like how I did back then, and somehow I did much more better.
I thank God for all the great people that I met here. Many people are surprised that how fast my network/connection grows, given that the period of my stay in a foreign land is just about 3 months time . I guess sometimes I just can't stop meeting new people. For those that know me well, this is part of my life principle: Meet new friends.

from France, Kansas, S.Korea, Colombia, Chile, M'siaEveryday is a new day and I am super-blessed. And I am so happy these days. In fact, the days when I felt sad were merely 10 or less than that. I guess. I can't remember when I was sad. Well, except days that I were a little stressed, because of exams.
I have a story. I called it,
"God's way"
So, I was asked by my lifegroup leader to give a lesson on the Thursday Lifegroup after the Spring Break. I have no confidence at first, but somehow I decided to take the first step and see how far can I go, with God by my side all times. I came up with a topic about problems that we have to face in our lives, and a few scriptures from the Bible. I prayed for wisdom and just waited til the day arrives.
Of course, I doubted my ability and wanted to give up, Mr SA Tan will try to talk you out of doing God's work. Somehow I manage to hang on, persevere, and have faith in God.
I included scriptures like "If God is for me, who can be against me" (Rom 8:31) and "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil 4:13) and one of my all time favorite quote "Don't tell God how big is your problem, tell the problem how big is your God."
I am not sure whether it will be the right message for everyone in lifegroup. On Wednesday night I was still nervous about it, still have the thought thinking canceling my lesson. Right at this time during worship session in church, MJ (worship leader) just stop and started to talk about problems in life. This is unusual because WE DO NOT STOP A WORSHIP SESSION. He asked us to sit, and said he found it unusual but he has to say something.
You know what?
He said everything that I have written last week. The message that I have prepared. Nobody knows about it, only God knows. MJ uses the exact bible scriptures and my favorite quote. This might be a coincidence for you. But I take this as confirmation from God. And I am so confident that I'm going to do good.
Thursday, time for my biggest challenge, because I never teach anything "religious" before. It turns our great. And I know that why God has given me the wisdom to preach about problems in life. Apparently one of my friends is facing a big problem and feeling very depressed. So depressed that anyone could see it so clearly. And I thank God that I have helped me, to hold on to God and hang on in life. I'm sure he is much more better now.
This is my story. And it is only one of the amazing stories that happened in my life. I experienced God more than before. And it is a good thing. A good feeling.
