Blessings in Disguise

I just can't put into words to describe how happy I am now. Even over the moon seems unhappy enough!

Recently, I have been really busy on many things. All the way from December, I didn't have much time to look into my future studies. I did have a little spare time when it was early January. So I took some time to decide on a school to further my studies. So far, it only seemed like MDIS is the best choice for me after considering many circumstances.

I then contacted with the staff at MDIS for inquiries. As that went on for a few weeks, I was juggling between helping my sis out for her wedding as well. I've had so little time for myself but I really didn't worry too much. My worries only came when I was unsure if I am ready for studies.

So I left everything completely to God. Let it be if it's meant to be. Of course, nothing would be drop unto you just like that. Not all the time. Never take God for granted. I kept reminding myself on Abraham's case. His faith. Taking the first step. Whether if it's a mistake, if it's out of faith, God will make it right.

So I took my first step, although unsure, I went on to rush in my application for MDIS. Last Friday (29th Jan) was supposedly the deadline. I got it done on time. So I felt a load off my shoulders. I don't have to worry about what to do next. I was sure there's bound to be things to do already.

I was told that I needed to take up the Advanced Diploma course first in order to get my Bachelor of Arts Degree. It's a package. 8 months AD, 18 months BA. So it would take me 26 months approximately. And then I was just slightly concerned about the rush as the AD classes would start on 22nd February. I haven't settled my accommodation at all. So I just told myself, travel daily will be fine. Just trust God's strength.

Today, God gave me the biggest surprise of my life so far. I received an e-mail from the school saying that the university approved my diploma results, allowing me to go for the BA course directly! 18 months and starts on 8th March! I couldn't believe it but immediately I knew, God want's me there, He is telling me I am ready to study.

I went to the point that I was crying out of joy. Pure joy. I held it and started sending e-mail to my sis and bro-in-law. I just couldn't wait to share this joy. They were with me all this while and this is definitely how God works! I had to share it!

God always gives us more than what we expect. Just keep walking with Him. All He wants was us to Love Him. When we do, everything else is secondary. The greatest commandment that most of the time, we neglect or take it lightly.

Matthew 22:37-40 (New International Version)

³⁷Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' ³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' ⁴⁰All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

This is my testimony. More will come and I'm sure of it. Looking forward to a great year indeed. Praise God!
