Isn't God wonderful

Hi all,

Blessed Mothers Day

So glad to say that I was able to keep to all the commitents i made.

• I email and even called my bro...but i did not email him everyday as he had not reply my email even after a few days,wanted to give him time to digest all my mails.....:)
• I am writing weekly on my blog and this is quite an improvement for me.
• I sent a few parcel to my friends as an encouragement.

Hmmm.... thats quite an achievement for me.Please pray that I will have strength to carry on what i need to do.

A few months ago, i wrote an article on prayers being answered again and again and again.Well today you are going to read a testimony from a precious youth(Andrea) in my church and how God ministered to her...Be blessed

My Testimony: How God helped me in my form 5 first exams Hi everyone. Let me give you a brief introduction about myself. I come from Methodist Secondary School, and I am in Form 5 this year and I study in one of the two best classes in Form 5. Today, I would like to share with you all about my testimony in my first term Form 5 exams. But before that, let me let you guys know a bit about my history.

I had always been used to doing things by myself, for example, studies, projects or any form of work in school and in church. I liked to depend on my own abilities and strengths in carrying out such stuff and when it went well, I say, O thank You Lord that it went well, but I did not really choose to depend on Him cuz I thought, I can do this all alone. And well, Form 5 came, and I have to admit, it is hectic, and worse still, being one of the top students in my class there was competition as usual, like every single year.

But the first time was usually very important to me cuz if I did well, I thought, I can give teachers good impression, then I can gain favour with them, and people will know about me and all those, and that sort of mentality made me tired in studying because I studied more towards pleasing my parents, teachers, friends around me, and my own fame. And I really wasn’t happy doing that. And I realized that instead of doing better, I actually did worse. My first Sejarah monthly test was a terror. I did not study well for it and I got one of the bottom few results in my class. And I was sad and disappointed and I asked God, Why did u do this to me? Now people will look down on me, I cant gain favour with the teacher, people will think I don’t have such a good memory, and during that period of time, I had thoughts such as, I am so not smart, I am actually dumb, and that Chinese proverb which goes kept going on in my mind! For those who don’t understand it means ‘if you’re smart when you’re young you may not be smart when you grow older’. And I thought, I am so worthless, so lousy, this time position in class sure drop lah…

And then, it was a Friday night I still remember, when a Bumimas trip was cancelled, and Aunty Sheena was at my house, and I got to confide to her about my problems in school and in certain subjects, and she told me that, my self worth is not in my results, and that God loves me for who I am, and that His grace is always sufficient for me. And that was when I came to the realization that, Oh dear, all this time I had been studying for totally wrong reasons, no wonder it became so unenjoyable! And I decided, I gotta change. I gotta learn to do things not by my own strength, but by God’s strength, AND I gotta do things for Him, and not for my own glory or other people, because it’ll be so meaningless doing all those for earthly reasons. And so, my perspective started to change.

For the 1st term exams, I was not really very well prepared for it, but I said O Lord I am doing this to my full potential for You, and I choose to trust that You will give me strength in doing all things including this exams, And I pray for the wisdom of Solomon and supernatural alertness in my exams, and guess what, He actually gave me way more than I expected. For my calculations papers such as Mathematics and Additional Maths, He gave me such supernatural alertness and focus and I was not distracted by things going around me. Before each paper I reminded myself, ‘This is not for me, but for Him’ and guess what, I sat each paper with joy, peace and an assurance that He was guiding me through, and I maintained my position in class. He showed me how, if I choose to trust in His providence, I can receive far more than if I choose to rely on my own limited strength. All glory to God.

If God can use little me......God sure can use you too....

If God can transform and touch Andrea' life, He sure can do it for you too...

Be available.... Be willing... Be transformed by His love and power!!!

Its all because of Jesus....

Sweet blessings

Sheena Jeremiah
