The Last Lap

Finished my last paper for my degree programme this morning. I ought to be very happy and celebrating but it was not to be. The paper was quite difficult and I started to doubt whether I will clear this last hurdle in one month's time.

This semester is unlike other semester. During previous semesters, even when the examinations were difficult, I will still be able to convince myself that I will eventually do well. Maybe this is the last lap and usually when it comes to the last lap, it is harder for you to swallow a defeat.

As I looked back my last 3 years at UniSIM, it was a journey full of tears and bruises, having to manage studies, work, ministry and family. I am no Superman and in the last 3 years I do gave up certain things to pursue my degree. At times, I felt like giving up but it was really God that encourages and help me to pull through.

I am counting on God again this time. Like what the bible says "With God, all things are possible!" After all, when Pastor Kong got us to write one desire in our heart during Arise & Build, I wrote to complete my degree programme this year. I just need to stir up my faith, start believing, confessing and visualising!

What do I see in one month's time?? This is what I see....
