Doing well in uni for Him

Ok... Tot i would only blog on sunday but cannot take it liao, especially when i just came back from "Friday Night Out" at FCC. It is equivalent to our very own Livingstone network meeting every month but this event at FCC is only on the last friday of every month. There's praise and worship and preaching by pastor.

While i was there today, during the praise and worship time, i suddenly feel at home. Suddenly feel tt i am in magic box, at livingstone network meeting...oh... how i miss tt place and every month's network meeting man... anyway, the praise and worship was very long... like 1 hr plus...

and then an invited guest... called dave ( if i remember his name correctly and i dun even noe whether he's a pastor...heez...) came and preached abt living for God and submitting myself completely to Him. and then he showed a video abt a true story of a father and his son doing a marathon. His son is brain-damage and is kind of wheel-chair bound. But his son told his dad once that he dun feel he is bounded by wheel-chair when he's being pushed on the wheelchair by his dad, thus they decided to take part in some kind of a triathlon race (swim, bike and run). So during the swim event, the son will be lying on a rubber boat which is tied by a rope to his dad's anke and he's dad would swim. Then for the bike, the son will be sitting in front of his dad while he's dad pedals and for running, he will be sitting on his wheelchair while he's dad will push the wheelchair while jogging. and they took abt 1 full day (from morning till nite) to complete the event. Kind of tiring for the dad, isn't it?

Well, our God is like the dad i mentioned above. He's the one who will push us when we have trouble, when we are caught up in a situation which is beyond our control etc until we reach the finishing line. Just like what Dave said, "When we are running a race for God, Satan will not run beside us and said, 'Come on! You can do much better than this.' Instead Satan will try to make us fall and try to demoralise us."

When i was listening to the sermon, I was thinking, "Hey, isn't that what Satan has been trying to do to me ever since uni starts?" Spirits of doubts linger within me during the first week of sch. Dunno whether what modules i enrolled in will be the path God wans me to take. Dunno whether i will fail this module or what. Hey but then God speaks to me during the sermon. Told me that He's in control and should live a life for Him. Hence i shall study well in uni not for my career in the future, not for myself or my family. It's for Him.
