His wonderful grace

Of all the semesters I've gone through in uni, I believe this year, this semester especially is one of the most memorable ones. This being the last year of uni studies has piled a lot of stress on my poor shoulders. Funnily enough, I'm the one holding the shovel piling it. So far, no one has told me that I have to get at least a 2nd upper or anything. My family is happy enough for me to graduate.


There's a countless number of times this year when the thought of just dropping honours and this whole degree came to my mind. Why didn't I choose science like what I always thought I'll do? Why am I stuck here doing this male-dominated degree? Why did I choose such a course that is outta-my-league to begin with?


Because God prompted me that day when I sat at the back of the lecture theatre, listening to this guy who graduated from IT engineering talk about his job in Motorola. That day, it felt as though God whispered, "My dear gal, this is the course I've chosen for you. I'll help you through it."


Did He? Yeap. Everything I've acheived in the past 3 years have been nothing short of His grace. The numerous times when I came out of the exam hall thinking that I'll barely pass, He gave me credits or distinctions instead.


So what did He do during the times when I feel so overwhelm and tensed up that I believe I can break anytime? He sent me people.

For the first half of the year, there was another high school friend around who kept me 'chilled'. God certainly has a sense of humour. I've known Marcus for 7 years but we don't really know each other well. Somehow, the friendship grew during last summer and has kept me going for 7 months. Then came 2nd half of the year...he graduated and left. Took me a while to get use to it again. I wasn't alone alone....God sent me girlfriends instead.

Just when the stress starts to peak up again in the 2nd semester, guess who God sent me? My dear sifu..it was a very timely visit, the day he appeared was the day Marcus left after his short visit for his graduation. Sifu had hinted that he'll be coming but he never said when and I always thought that it was just a small possibility.




One week later and I'm free from visitors. 3 more weeks to my thesis due date. I think I can finally walk this last stretch on my own cause I know my God is right beside me, holding my hand as I do this. If need be, He'll let me sit on His shoulders.
