the past week's been pretty eventful. haha i cant say if its a good or bad thing. but well. one thought to dwell on again-

"that we who first trusted in Christ should be, to the praise of His glory." -ephesians1:12

to the praise of His glory. ;)

got into law! haha. i found out at 1am in the morning when my dad checked the law website. and i have to say that this particular experience with what the world would term a 'victory' was, well, different. instead of being my usual estatic scream alot and call everyone i know, i made thanking the Lord my first response. (maybe part of the reason was that i was too sleepy to jump around! haha but thats besides the point) even the subsequent days after the results i hardly told anyone, and that was rare cos im usually excited about everything and so rahrah most people just want to tell me to shut up already. this entire experience taught me about what it meant to wait on the Lord and praise Him for His love and faithfulness. during sunday school outing last night (which, i must say, had a TERRIBLE turnout 1/3 of the class!) auntie said that at the end of the day, its not about whether you get IT or not, cos He IS God you know, He can give and take away anytime He wants. its about what you learn through it, and if you can learn to wait on Him.

im scared / excited about the next step, but im looking at the example of caleb. what it means to hold on to the promise of God for 45 years, and CONTINUE. with faith enough to ask for the land of Hebron that was inhabited by giants. faith enough to believe that God had led the Israelites thus far and would grant the victory over the people of the land. faith in believing that God would answer and provide, just like He said.

"faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." -hebrews11:1

like it says in john15, abide in Him, and He will abide in you. faithfulness! (:
