IP(man)

I really thank God that IP(integrated project) is over....

Initially, before it started.. Was doubting my ability to complete it,

afraid that I would fail, afraid that I would not be able to finish in time. Failing would mean I will need to study an extra one year. It's scary... That would mean four years diploma....

Really thank God for bringing me through the whole 2 months.

It was not easy.... Struggled at first to come out with a good concept.

Anyway, looking back, still can't believe I managed to handle a slightly bigger project, slightly bigger than normal assignment. :) not to be proud or show off or anything.... but looking back I can only say, thank you Lord for seeing me through, guiding me, walking with me.... :)

grace

Have been reading this book titled "What's so amazing about GRACE" by Philip Yancey and I have been learning quite a lot from it. Perhaps, it came just in time for various things that are happening in life:).

Sometimes, fighting between showing grace versus throwing anger and frustration over things that happened and can't be changed.

"Don't you just have brains?"

"Can't you just think before you act?"

"You see, the consequences, it's ALL because of you. YA YOU NOT ME!"

Ya, many times, I tend to throw all the blame on others, to dwell in self-pity but many times, this word grace comes in/showed up. The whisper, "Show grace, my dear".

Grace is a very beautiful word. Learning from my Savior, I believe He is the best example of grace shown during His life here on earth. one of the example would be He showed grace to one of the criminals during His crucifixion. Do you think that criminal even deserved God's forgiveness? but Jesus said:"...today you will be with me in paradise."

I need to learn to be more gracious. to show grace. to learn from the One who showed me much grace. to remind myself, in many circumstances, i do not even deserve grace.
