I wonder how I am going to survive this year. People say design school is like that one, especially the foundation year, it takes time to adapt and adjust the biological clock. Makes sense, and I don't deny that it is very true. What I'm worried about is whether I can serve in Y-Comm ministry to the fullest, considering the amount of time I'm left with besides my school stuff. Let's see what I have to handle in this coming year:
School work - Y-Comm - CCA (maybe 2 of them) - Hall stuff - Work (freelance)
I'm not saying that I'm the busiest person in the whole world, I'm sure there are people who have even more things to handle in their life (their load). Take for example, just the closest people in my life, my CG mates. Most of them are studying at tertiary institutes (and some are already working =P) and yet they still serve in their own ministries with their all. Some even have more than one ministries to lead. The closest example that I can think of is 'Boss' =P Even though she's already working, ending at 8pm everyday, sometimes unable to come for service because of the responsibility she has in her job, she still serves faithfully, leading Y-Comm without fail, coordinating stuff and arranging meeting and stuff. Even others like Ben (with his NS stuff), Jiancong (with his final year stuff), Puay (with her new semester modules) and Layling (with the whole lot of design stuff to do) have their own busyness and they still give their all to ministry works.
Hmm, when I think about it, it's really a human tendency to have self-pity within ourselves, the longing for others to pity us, to regard us as the most unfortunate person ever. This is selfishness, and the fact that we have this feeling shows that we're still not dependent enough on God and His providence. God spoke to me, "What good is it to have doubts?" Self-centred-ness is one of the worst 'defect' that we all have. I still have it, but I'm learning to see things from God's perspective, and to think less of myself and more of others. God, let me see the world through Your eyes!
And for the JC2 peeps, I'll keep praying for your studies! Work hard for God and do your best for your prelims!! =D

My verse of the day:
"Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
...
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own."
[ Matthew 6: 26-27, 34 ]
