sooo BUSSSAYYYY

Many of you would have already read my prayer letter that I sent around to you or your parents. hence, many of you would have heard about the ridiculous workload that I've been trying to get through lately:

• year 12 work
  
• Organise speakers for upcoming school event (as education captain)
• Korea missions work

Now i was FREAKING OUT when i was first told i had to organise that speaker. it was the first time that i was asked to do something for the school, and it had to be during such a crucial time! Of course, the other captains saw it as no problem, as they probably weren't as concerned about VCE as i was. At that point, i was struggling to be motivated to do anything. Though i had a month to organise it, it felt like a massive wall that obstructed me from wanting to do any study.

It didn't help that i had a fair amount of work to do for korea as well--i had to study almost 6 chapters of "Missions and You" (our mini missions textbook) as well as write up a nice lengthy prayer letter to send out to my prayer advocates. In addition to all of THAT, i still had to somehow maintain my regular studies and SAC preparations, and i was freaking out about my upcoming English SAC (as its worth half the unit, my practice responses were only worth C's and the book is S#&%!)--i've been struggling to have any devotion time, and i'll confess, i haven't been able to keep up with the weekly readings. At one point, i felt that i was about to break down, but God gave me a bit of strength and i held on.

Instead, all that formed and became one heavy ball of stress in my mind, which released cortisol around my body which weakened my immune system which then made me more susceptible to sicknesses and hence i caught a big cold on saturday. YAY for psychology!

i would have ranted all of this to some of you, especially aaron LOL and thank God i did, cos he passed me a nice verse that really got me going--he mentioned it in his last post, but i wanna repost it cos its AWESOMU:

"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than people." Colossians 3:23

I was quite blown away. At that point, i actually wanted to look for some speakers, i actually wanted to read my crappy English "novella". And because of that, i've somehow put those thoughts aside and am looking forward now.

In fact,

• i've emailed 10 organizations, and though 3 have said no, i so far have 1 speaker =) and it actually felt really good to see their positive reply =)
• I was actually able to finish reading the damn book, and i just finished my English SAC response for next week, and i'm quite happy with it :D

So PRAISE THE LORDDDD :)

Literally it was about last week when i saw August as a massive obstacle, but it seems that God has already overcome it for me. And knowing that, i can confidently finish the rest of the year off because i know He always has my back! Even though i'll have to raise $2500 for Korea, even though my Japanese oral exam is a few days after potential Korea Fundraising night, even though i'll be going crazy when exams approach, even though i may possibly be arriving back in Melbourne on the morning of uni course confirmation/information, I know that God will always see me through.

These past couple of weeks have already been a big test for me, and i have a feeling that these tests will only get bigger! But, again, GOD IS ALWAYS BIGGER!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW

EVERYBODY PRAISE DUH LORD :D

hoping you all have an awesome week, God Bless :D
