The first month of 2010 has indeed been a Year of Restful Increase for me.  After constantly anointing my papers with the anointing oil, God has proved to be ever so faithful in delivering me.

I managed to get 80 for A Maths, which has always been one of my weaker subjects.  God helped me top my class for E Maths, even though I did not manage to finish the entire paper.  If you think that’s all, you’re wrong.  For the recent Biology test, I got a B3, which was a shock for me, as I have been always getting E8.  Physics concepts and formulas that were once a chore to me are now a breeze, after constantly involving God in my revision.  God also over-answered my request to pass Chinese, and gave me an A2 for it!  I also did well for all my other subjects, when I thought that I would fail some of them.
 
Studies aside, God has also opened many doors for me.  In my CCA, I qualified for the Founder’s Award, despite not doing well for most sections of a strict and rigorous test.  I was also nominated for a leadership position in my House.  God has also helped me to manage my time. Even when there are many tests to study for and homework to do, God helps me slot in time to enjoy breaks in between my studies.  I am also able to spend time with God and in His Word, and each time after doing so, I feel more empowered and energized to study!

Looking back at the past month, there was no way that I could have attained these results by myself, as I was overwhelmed by homework and deadlines to meet.  As Pastor Benjamin shared about “resting and reigning”, I really started to experience ‘reigning’ over my circumstances through ‘resting’ and allowing God to guide me.  After taking on a ‘restful’ mentality, and trusting in God’s unfailing goodness, I began to feel less stressed, and even started to enjoy my revisions!  Instead of fearing the giants before me, God has allowed me to face them with a positive mindset. Many of my school friends are puzzled as to why I am able to remain stress-free even when tests are around the corner.  Indeed, after I chose to let go and let God, my life has never been easier.

I believe that this is only the 30-fold, and the 60 and 100-fold blessings are on their way! All glory to Jesus!

The Blind Side: Seeing God’s Love

Text by Jenny Faith

The Blind Side is based on the true rag-to-riches story of football player Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) and the woman whose love and compassion helped to transform his life. Michael was a homeless African-American teenager who suffered through a traumatic childhood of neglect and violence, whose life takes a remarkable turn after he meets Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock), a white, Christian lady.  The two first encounter each other after Leigh Anne spots him on the street, clad only in his shorts and t-shirt, in the freezing winter cold; Leigh Anne invites Michael to spend the night on her couch, the first of many, and he eventually becomes a part of the family.
