&; SAY WHAT? Turn to God in the darkest hours! (like now) :)
&; FEEL WHAT? :)
&; HEAR WHAT? Hillsong - Soldier

Hey everyone, just wanted to share something I stole from Huiting (I hope she doesn't mind :p) that stuck a chord in me.

As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear.

When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all our activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.

I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me,that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet.

You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend a lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me.

Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you.. I've got patience, more than you will ever know.... I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.

I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought, or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.

Well, you are getting up once again. Once again I will wait with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!

Your friend,
GOD

Right now as we're having exams, we suddenly see the need to pray and ask our Heavenly Father to help tide us through this exam period, help us remember what we've learnt, divine understanding etc etc... But do we only turn to him now because we need him? How many times do we turn away from praying, thanking and thinking about him, reading his word just because we're too tired, too busy, too embarrassed?

But if we're too tired, how'd we find the time to watch TV before we sleep? If we're too busy, then how come we're online right now, me typing this and you reading this? And if you're too embarrassed, then I think you should really pray behind closed doors so no one sees you, and ask God to help you not be embarrassed about Him! Cuz we're his ambassadors, by our praying, our actions, our words, we testify for Him.

Prayer can be simple, it doesn't take more than a minute to bow your head and clasp your hands together and whisper a prayer of thanksgiving or whatnot. Recess is 45 mins, surely you can spare ONE minute of that time praying? :D yeah sure canteen food isn't THAT nice, but at least we even have food! So that's enough for us to praise and thank God for!

Hope this encourages you guys to draw nearer to God and thank him for all the fun and stuff we've had this year together as a class!

GOD BLESS FOR THE REMAINING PAPERS!!!! XD
