Calm in the Storm.

Monday in 2 half hours.

School has barely started and I'm already wondering if I'm in the wrong course. Having zilch background knowledge in the topics I have to present on is stressing me out greatly. I don't understand half of what the teachers are saying; constantly have the urge to tear out and crush my half-scrawled notes midway through lessons and scream.

But, I remember that just as life is more than food and clothes, so is life more than studies. I don't know when the next earthquake will strike and wipe me off the face of this earth. I could be spending my last hours lamenting on something that might never occur.

So,

The bad: I still have to live with my circumstances, no matter how horrible it is.

The good: I can look forward to what good God can bring out of this (like turning junk into something useful).

Everything is all about perspective. If I focus on the bad all the time, I will go crazy. If I know that HE is in charge of everything, everything seems to pale in comparison.

Got a reprieve from the stress from school in the form of a visit from a friend. Had a wonderful day showing her and her aunt around. Today I think I talked more than my utterances of the whole week in school added up. I am seriously deprived -.-

A man was on-board a ship with the captain when he heard that a storm was coming. He started to panic and told the captain about it. The captain looked at him and replied, "Don't worry, son. God knows about the storm."

God knows about your presentations, He knows about your fears; 

He knows everything, Charmine.

Take heart, my soul.

除你以外，我還能有誰？
