Today, I woke up at 6:45 to do some last minute studying for my 9am exam. I was making breakfast and texting my friends to wake them up so that they can do some last minute cramming too. So while doing this, I looked around, looked outside.. just to absorb the day. There was a bird chirping and it got a tad bit annoying. But then I realized, Wow. I'm not exactly sure what I felt, but it was just an amazing feeling. I was studying for biology, and everytime I learn something new, I just really appreciate God's creativity more and more. We take everything that we see and know for granted, when all of creation is truly screaming "YO, GOD IS AMAZING."
As I was walking to the exam, this song was playing over and over in my head: Amazed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQAPMRpNoe8
After my exam, I also got a chance to talk to a friend about how God's been faithful every step of the way during this first year of university. I think during these past 8 months, I've truly experienced all the ups and downs that a person can experience...The craziness, the anxiousness, the fatigue, the joy, the pain, the loneliness, the thrill, the temptations...but most of all, God's grace. Honestly, I'm not sure how I would have coped without God's presence in His Spirit and through the brothers and sisters that I've met here. Would I have grown in the same way if I'd stayed at home? Or maybe it's just the fact that I need to make a conscious decision daily to live Christ out and be a witness, instead of assuming that everyone else already knows me as Christian.
Anyway, I'll let my words be few. :)
