Finally, the 'biggest' yet also 'the loftiest' project of this month was done today :D. And that was the Classroom Action Research for Pedagogy 2 course. This was 'big' not because of its greatness, the result, etc. anyway but because it needed lots of work. And literally, that made me exhausted and my friends as well. And yet now it's 'done' it is like giving a relieve and time to take a deep breath, while preparing for another projects and assignments until the next holiday on December 17.
And I have just been recovered from seasonal flu and feel a bit more healthy today. Praise the Lord. I am just amazed how God is very faithful both in the hard time or in ease. And shame on me because I am easily tempted to seek comfort zone, pleasure and a kind of 'relieve' for myself. Yet I realize that living in this world is a constant battlefield to tramples the passions, to deny the self and submit ourselves to Christ and to one another, therefore it's always good to keep awake and be vigilance in prayers in every time both at ease or in the turbulent time, asking his mercy upon us, so that we might not be immoderate in the enjoyable moment and not despair in hard time.
And once again, I am amazed with the greatness of the incomprehensible wisdom of God Who allowest us to face each experience in this life for the sake of our salvation, that's never more than what we can bear. Even when it is something which is not in accordance to our wishes, but if it is according to His will, let it be! It's always good to bear patiently and without grumbling everything in Him because through those kinds of suffering and afflictions He purifies our souls and pours out his mercy for us to bear them in His love to draw us nearer to Himself through the narrow way. Indeed everything which are in us now is because of his love!
Therefore, both in the sweet time with friends, brothers and sisters and in the hard time of suffering and sorrow, let's always remember God who loves us so greatly and invoke His Holy name in each time.
For me this time, it's been a good and peaceful time, but the battlefield against the passions, lethargy, desires and against pride in the flesh knows no rest, therefore I ask God to grace my unworthy heart and mind to abide in Him: to see Him more clearly, to love Him more dearly and to follow Him more nearly day by day.
Lord, have mercy on us!
