I saw this photo on Shaunice's blog and was surprised.This photo was taken on 31 Jan 09.This photo do bring a smile to my face,haha.That is because everyone is smiling. :)
It was the Church cell outing.One thing I realised is that we care for each other.I mean while we were cycling,we will stop to wait for each other as the slower ones catched up.The whole cell even stop cycling while Caroline and I went to the ladies,even though we didnt ask them to wait for us.So nice of them right? But I feel kind of embarrased to make them wait for me. Thank you brothers and sisters for Christ !
On 30 Jan 09,MOE sent my mum the sms saying Christina Lian Shi,you are posted to Nanyang poly,Hospitality and resort management(C67) under 2009 JAE.It was around 7.15am in the morning,when my mum woke me up and showed me this sms.I cant denied that i was disappointed.I thought i got a chance to get into NY JC.My L1R5 was 13,minus 1 cca bonus point is 12 and i opted for the CLEP which gave me 2 bonus pts.So that means i got 10 pts.After that,i tried to sleep but couldnt.So i woke up like 20 min later to do the online appeal for NY JC.(To show my sincerity, I have to act fast.)Before that day,I keep praying and telling God that no matter where I am posted to,I will trust in Him that He has the best plans for me.However,I cant help being disappointed.I started listening to worship songs and i cried.
I cried not because i could not get into NY JC but because I was sorry for not doing the things I have promised God that I will.Some questions that went through my mind were:
How many times have I say i will go to the ends of the earth for you God,but I didnt?
How many times have I gave excuses for not spending TAWG with you?
How many times have I thought of posting sth to shout Your fame but failed to do so?
How many times....
I felt so sorry for not walking closely with God each and every day of my life and yet have doubts about God's existence.And yet want God to answer my prayers.
I cried knowing that God never fails me ,knowing that He will forgive me despite the times i failed Him,He never stop loving me.I felt so sorry and was touched by His love for me.
God was always there for me,be it happy or sad times.
How great is His love for us,beyond men's understanding.
So now I have appealled to NY JC and is intending to appeal to tampines jc and catholic Jc.
All I need is to trust God, that whatever school He place me in,it is to prosper and make me grow.
I love you God and I know you have the best plans for me.The same as you put me into Mayflower Secondary School,where i overcomed part of my stage fright,height phobia and how you sent Valerie to invite me to church.
Thank you Lord!
