long Wednesday!

There is no other day like Wednesday this semester. This day is the day of four classes all at once from 7 am to 7 pm with little break at lunch time (12 - 02 pm). Living under scholarships by God's providence through the sponsor is a very good opportunity for me personally. And one thing that I always praise the Lord especially is that this provides me such rich chances to be obedient and to learn to obedience under authorized leader. The schedule is one of them, thus I am recommended highly to follow each procedures and sets of courses which are available.

However, it is also not always easy to live under high expectation of an institution or sponsor. It needs commitment, perseverance and patience and even sometimes watchfulness for what we are doing. Indeed it is challenging and yet so interesting. And knowing that there are in many parts of that expectation is meant to be good for us, I am very encouraged to do my part as my responsibility toward Gracious Lord and my supporters. And realizing this, I ask for His mercy, because He is the source of all and Who faithfully strengthen and guide me, not so that I would be 'happy all the time' like what the world offers, but He always strengthens and guards me to follow Him and 'do what you see Him doing in you', because I really need His mercy always and always to work each reflective journal, portfolio, caring a friend and even to draw a single breath to glorify Him!

Yes, it is a long day and somehow can be a tiring one. And I surrender this unto Him the Master of all Who fills all things with Joy, because He has come down to our lowest reality, so humble and perfect and has delivered us from bondage of the enemy. He is the Victor beyond all the toils, troubles and sorrows and only in Him we will come to the Father. What a Joy it is that He reveals Himself to be Immanuel who accept and greatly loves us and pitch His tent among us and invite us to participate into His life! O, how amazing this news is really for an unworthy one like me! Lord, have mercy!

Now, Lord I plea unto Thee, cleanse my heart and grant me strength to follow Thee faithfully. Because Thou hast perfectly faithful unto Thy unworthy servant, grant me also O Lord that I might be faithful and without grumbling do what Thou hast entrusted to me. Behold Lord, my feeble hands, may Thou sustain and preserve me. Teach me to love Thee with all my life! Be mindful O Lord for those who has been so gracious and loving me sincerely and forgive and save those who do wrong to me! Let all days be Thy days of Glory! Amen.
