Life is full of ups and downs, like a cosine or sine graph that waves constantly up and down. One minute everything is smooth sailing and then a split second comes, your life comes crushing down. Ever wonder that to everything that happens, there is a reason behind it?
Recently, I've been feeling way discourage about my academics. I might not be working as hard (partly of me to be blamed) but things seems to get worse and worse. I cried out to God only when my exams come and when there ain't any, I won't beg God like crazy. Sounds familiar isn't it? We treat God as if He is the "Ultimate problem solving machine" while we neglect His love and peace and joy that He'll so gladly give to us if we ask. Someone told me when we pray to God, don't look to got but LOOK AT GOD. Look at His beauty and splendor and His love for us. Hehe of course, I've been naughty sometimes... :-) Man, I've been playing too much PC games and my finals are like in two weeks time!
Well I've been reading Ecclesiastes since this week. And the first impression I got was that this book is primarily about "WISDOM". And this morning while I was seating on the "throne" (if you get what I mean, I bet you do that too every morning!) I came upon this specific verse saying.. "The finishing is more important than the beginning" and it has been ringing in my mind for the whole day everytime I fret about my studies. Currently I'm a second year (sophomore student) and am not doing so well. Maybe God is trying to cheer me up and to just press on and finish my degree for the finishing is better than the beginning.
A note of encouragement to those depress dudes out there like me, don't fret, just press on and end it with God in style!
Cool!

hey man you know how i finished my studies? i cried to god the whole last year cause i was just blocked when i wanted to learn...
one evening someone told me: "First semester '06. you gonna cry of joy." i thought: ok.. so.. and continued struggling for the whole last year of studies. i really don't know how i passed my exams but in every examination I wrote exactly the mark i had to have to pass!
and when our class teacher told us everyone passed i cried.
so tell me about these problems... i know.
and this "finishing is better" idea is nice! never thought about it before.
