HIHIHIHI DEAR CG =)

jo-aaaannnnnn heereee XD

Okay i just wanted to liven this blog up again after.... so long.

So I guess all of us finished our exams already, well except grace but we'll pray for you grace :)

OKay so I wanted to share something that happened at the beginning of this week. === my exam week.

On sunday night, after reading the devotionals and stuff, I was going to sleep and I was trying to tell myself to.. calm down and stuff

Then I thought of something that happened a long time ago. For my physics paper, I wanted to glorify God through my grades. But then, my grades deproved from my bio grades. And... i got REAALLYY SAD. At that time, I was not upset that I did not get reaaaly good grades. I was upset and confused that why when I wanted to get the grades for God.. my grades HAD to deprove!

But on that sunday, as i was praying, God just told me this: Grades to glorify. Not try to glorify for grades.

That was the phrase that helped me get through my exam week without worrying or whatsoever. AND this week was one of the best weeks I've reaaly had. even though it was my exam week. I studied, yeah. BUT WAS IMPORTANT IS THAT THIS WEEK GAVE ME SOO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE by being a witness for God's love. By not worrying, we actually stand out and yeah it was great =)

So throughout my exam week, it kinda whizzed past and.... my focus wasn't on the exams. But rather staying calm such that non-believers might get curious and ask. Or give me opportunities to share. Like how I could with my close friend one of the days.

I guess my point here is that: Sometimes evangelising isnt all about having to speak out to share to others. Sometimes, evangelising can be doing God's will and hence, stand out. And I realised that through my exam week so it was REAALLYY a greaat weeek for meee. XD

I also wanted to encourage you guys to be calm during exams, knowing that God will pull you through, no matter the result. What's important is not the result, but how you react to that result. God doesnt need high grades. He wants your heart. And by trying your best, He can be satisfied. XDDD

Yep okay I gues this doesnt reaaly help you guys now... since your exams are over. ahahaha but it's a thought :)

Okay then BYEEEE!!!!!! Have fuuuun but remember not to go overboard. ahah. and graaceee. study hardd!!! and we'll pray for youu.

with love, <3 Jo-Ann

Hello CG! MY EXAMS ARE OVER!! Okay, anyway, to those whose exams are still on, or coming, I want to wish you all ALL THE BEST & GOD BLESS! Thanks to those who have been keeping me in prayer throughout the exams:) I have been praying for you guys so I hope that God answered... Those of you who are still having your exams, here are a few verses for you to remember so that you'll be motivated and stay happy.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
God is by our side wherever we go & whatever we do. He told you NOT TO BE TERRIFIED so don't freak out during your exams. God will be there even though you may not feel it:)

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer or by 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 Jesus Christ" Philippians 4:6-7 Again, don't be ANXIOUS. Tell God about your worries and he'll calm you down. Cause your problems are soo small like a microorganism compared to BIG DADDY GOD!:)

That's all i have to say! Do your best for your exams for God's glory:) BYEBYE!

LOVE, CELESTE:)
