Hey. This feels rather awkward but! Something, has been repeatedly .. repeating.. in my head for these last couple of days. And in the previous entry, I know that it was more than a coincedence that the verse, Psalms 46:8 was where these words of this extremely familiar thing was extracted from. Oh, yes. And it was mentioned at chapel as well, so its definitely, more more than a coincedence, hence further increasing the need for me to write this.

"when the oceans rise and thunders roar,
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still, know You are God."

I know some of you have been feeling, discouraged/stressed/tired/anynegativefeeling lately. Sometimes, we feel like giving up, or sometimes we just feel like we do not have the courage to do what is required of us to do. Sometimes we feel inadquate, we get stressed and our brains feel like exploding. However, remember: everything is in God's plans, and whatever that is done in our lives are in His hands as well.

We try our best, we go all out. But sometimes, our human capabilities.. they're only this much. We can stress, contemplate, labour till every bit of our physical bodies break but God is still the One who lifts us up. At the end of the day, everything is still in His control, even though things may not appear to be so, they still are. So, just fall back into His arms, and completely surrender everything unto Him. Easier said than done, that I know. But remember: with God, all things are possible (: and that includes truly having an everlasting flame burning for God in this school.

" 'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered." - Mark 11:22

And that, is simply what we need to do. To have faith in Him, and everything will just follow. So.. smile! Because every new day is another day to live for God - Who is truly, the Reason for living.

In God's Love,
tessa.
