The past semester has been one of great changes for me. I used to be a purely “Sunday-service-only” Christian. After getting back from a blessed trip to a Christian orphanage in Cambodia, I felt a deep desire to get more active in church, and thus started serving in Rock Kidz and began attending CG on a regular basis. On top of that, I also started tithing regularly. As these changes set into place, I slowly found my walk with Daddy God strengthening day by day and needless to say, life took an amazing turn for the better.

Throughout the semester, I worked as hard as how I have always done so for the past semesters. School was not a breeze, with the competitiveness of my fellow Year 4 students working hard for our last semesters, and assignments and tests came by the truckload across the entire semester. I have always been praying for better grades, but the falling short in previous semesters has made me much wearied. There were so many times when I thought that there was no way I was going to be able to score well enough to pull my CAP score up (to hopefully graduate with a 2^nd Upper Class Honours).

Surprisingly, I began to score full marks or the highest marks in my assignments and tests! During the exam period, I also found myself feeling significantly less stressed up as compared to the previous semesters; no more panic attacks before a paper and no more staying up till the wee hours to rush to finish studying. Instead, I found peace in my heart. On top of all that, I still found time to attend CG and spend quality time in church on Sundays, something I have never been able to do during every exam period. Following a sharing by my CG mates, I also anointed my exam scripts with the anointing oil before working on them and submitting!

So, the good news came on results day, when I was welcomed by straight As for all my 5 modules for the semester. Also, in that one semester, I have managed to pull my CAP score from a mid 2^nd Lower Class score to that of a 2^nd Upper Class! Praise the Lord!

I have done nothing more than usual this semester, except to walk closer with our Daddy God, and to serve Him, our Lord and King. Indeed, this is His free favours that I have received. Truly a gift from a Father to a child – not something I have worked for, and neither something I could have worked for on my own. As the Bible says, “those who seek the Lord lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10)”, I have sought the Lord and I have received. This is His love for us with free favours that profusely abounds, and let us all believe and receive! Amen!
