Move that mountain.

This race against time has never been my strong point. Resolutions at the beginning of semesters to start afresh and be more organized & disciplined have never come to fruition. But because of this, the more aware I am of His abundant grace - "...where sin increased, grace abounded all the more" (Romans 5:20). What sounds like a paradox can just be taken the way it is. Pr MacArthur said the Christian faith/Bible is full of paradox and that is what makes it beautiful. Because human beings are unable to comprehend paradoxes and thus will never be able to write the Bible with their own finite knowledge. 

This sem has been one speedy ride. It may be psychological, but winter sems always seem to go by quicker. And it's finally December! Marks the coming of another new year, where I can FINALLY say that I'm a Year 4! But before I move on to that, I really have to clear my credits for this semester so that I can experience Japan to the fullest next year before I graduate. The mountain of reports is so overwhelming but if I've learnt anything from last semester, it is to work cooperatively with adrenaline, and try to experience how the Israelites felt when they were being chased after by the Egyptians. But here's the good news: God parted the Red Sea parted for their exodus and drowned out all their pursuers! So similarly, I believe that God will take my over this mountain by... I don't know, maybe digging a tunnel through the mountain. Or moving the mountain, which really takes faith on my part. ...Or, if He wants me to work harder, He'll make me climb over it. But whichever way, let me have faith that He'll bring me through it!

Also feeling like the tortoise.
Slow and steady wins the race...
