God is great! Amen?

Amen to that. Yes. It has been very very long. It has been almost a year. 8 months to be precise. That this blog wasn't updated. Well, what can I say? I was being lazy and sometimes (really!) busy. What had happened for the past 8 months was truly miraculous. I have been brought to church who is now my best friend, Benedict Weerasena. Oh, how I could ever thank him enough. Let's go back all the way back to December 2010.

December 2010, ending of my lower-6. Having my last scout camp as an exco knowingly 2 days after the camp I have a church camp to look forward to. My scout camp ended at 17th of December. A Friday. The next day was a Saturday. That very Saturday, it's a Saturday I will never ever forget. 18th of December. It started with the Saturday night service in Penang Christian Center (PCC). Pastor Kul Bal was the preacher for the night as he will be the preacher for the Fire Camp which was the youth camp I was referring to previously. It was a great night indeed. After a inspiring, fire-hot sermon from Pastor Kul Bal, it was that night, that very moment, where I received our Lord, Jesus Christ, into my life. On that night itself, I was spiritually baptized. There stood Benedict in tears. At that  time, I couldn't understand why. But now, I do, it's such a joy, such happiness to see someone to accept Jesus.

Throughout the Fire Camp, I was very inquisitive, asking myself questions on Christianity. As the camp goes on, there was serenity. It was truly an amazing experience. As life goes on, I start to realize God's work in me, and for me. I became a better person. I actually started studying. Something that I really don't do often for the past few years. God blessed me with an iPhone 4 too. Hah! That was really unexpected. It was truly a gift from God.

Of all times, I could really feel God's presence are during times when I have exams. It is truly amazing. From Form 1 until Form 5, to be honest, I really cared less about my exams. If I end up failing, I would just sweep it all under the rug. Taking things for granted really. But when it came to upper-6, (probably it's because the fear for STPM) but I really believe it's God's will. I would really pick myself up and study day after day after day. I couldn't care less if slept at 3am in the morning, I would wake up the next day, go to school, and if I'm not in class, I would be in the prefects' room studying or doing my homework or some revision. When it comes to the real exam, although I've barely read much, (but I did a little) ideas and possible answers would keep appear in my mind and I would just answer them. It was truly something to behold of. It's rare when you  don't see Teik Min sleeping during exams if you knew me for the past 5 years.

Now I'm having my trials. Oh thank God, that I'm going through it so well, so much better than how I thought I would. Yet again, God is having his way with me. I'm so blessed. This trials made me realize how much the presence of God, the presence of Jesus, had made me so different. Had so much impact on me. I am truly blessed to be a child of God.

God is great! Glory to the Lord! Amen.
