Sexy and I know it/ EOS 5


My End-of-Semester (EOS) 5 is in two days. 

Two. Days.

That's two and a half years spent in IMU accumulated in one exam. 

It's the last exam I'll ever take in IMU. 

It's the only obstacle standing between me and going to Liverpool.

Sigh.

I have the right to be melodramatic.

"Sexy and I know it."

That's the way I want to feel before I enter the exam hall: happy, positive, grateful that I've made it this far. 
Nothing short of a miracle, really. 

On a side note, I'm so grateful to have such amazing friends who keep me sane and grounded and positive despite the ginormous exam cloud hanging over everyone's heads. I just hope we all make it through. :)

Also, I'm so appreciative of how quickly my panic mode fades away. Thanks, God. 
The worse thing you can do now is panic.

The Serenity Prayer




God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Always faithful

Are you passing through a testing.
Is your pillow wet with tears?
Do you wonder what the reason,
Why it seems God never hears?
Why it is you have no answer
To your oft, repeated plea,
Why the heaven still is leaden
As you wait on bended knee?
 
Do you wonder as you suffer,
Whether God does understand,
And if so, why He ignores you,
Fails to hold you in His Hand?
 
Do black doubts creep in, assail you,
Fears without--and fears within,
Till your brave heart almost falters
And gives way to deadly sin?
 
All God's testings have a purpose,
Someday you will see the light.
All He asks is that you trust Him,
Walk by faith and not by sight.
 
Do not fear when doubts beset you,
Just remember - He is near; 
He will never, never leave you,
He will always, always hear.
 
Faithful is He who has promised,
He will never let you fall,
Daily will the strength be given
Strength for each and strength for all.
 
He will gladly share pain with you,
He will gladly give you peace.
Till your tired and weary body
Finds its blessed, glad release.
 
When the darkened veil is lifted,
Then, dear heart, you'll understand
Why it is you had to suffer,
Why you could not feel His hand
 
Giving strength when it was needed,
Giving power and peace within
Giving joy through tears and trial,
Giving victory over sin.
So till then just keep on trusting,
Through the sunshine and the rain.
