Black Shirt & White Words
Just had the most amazing semester evar (with an ‘A’).
Blessed with so much favor from tutors and friends, and by the grace of God i really enjoyed studying every single module i took (maybe not so for Leadership since technically none of us studied for it).
Ended the semester with a macroeconomics finals this evening. Did not feel all too ‘liberated’ after i exited the exam hall, and it seemed like something deep inside of me became empty all of a sudden. No more mugging over the weekends for flash tests on Mon, no more 6 hours straight classes on Tues, no more staring at Mark’s tee-shirt on Wed… Missing a routine lifestyle? Or something more than that?
Saying goodbye is never easy. How i wish there was this pause-rewind-play button and i can enjoy this sem all over again :) But as the year ends and Year 2 Sem 1 comes to a close, i know that the path of the righteous will just grow brighter and brighter; i don’t know how that’s gonna happen but i’m leaving it all in His hands.
Thank You Jesus.

” For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, NLT).
God has ordained seasons and cycles in our lives. Sometimes, when our dreams aren’t coming to pass on our timetable, we can be tempted to get frustrated. But we have to be careful not to allow our attitude to keep us from moving forward.
Understand that in God’s kingdom, every season is not harvest. There are plowing seasons, planting seasons and watering seasons. Sure, we would love for every season to be a time of increase; but without the other seasons, we wouldn’t be prepared. It’s during the plowing seasons when God’s bringing issues to light that we need to deal with. He’s getting us prepared for promotion. If you’re not making as much progress as you would like, the key is not to lose any ground. Don’t go backwards. Hold your position by keeping an attitude of faith and expectancy, even when it’s hard. Keep plowing by speaking the Word daily. As you do, you’ll pass the test, and God promises your due season is coming!
Security camera clips that make the news usually show bad things, but Coke decided to “look at the world a little differently” in this heartwarming viral video. They found security camera footage from around the world showing happy moments: people stealing kisses instead of possessions, dealing potato chips instead of drugs, and offering car assistance rather than road rage.

Other people don’t realize how beautiful this world is. Because of all the negative news they hear about it. But if we’ll take a little time to look at all these beautiful things that this life has to offer, I think the world will be a better place to live in.

Have the opinions of other people caused you to water down your dreams? There will always be critics and naysayers in life. It’s not what’s said about you that affects your life, but what you say and believe about yourself.
One of the most important things you can learn is that other people don’t have to believe in you in order for your dreams to come to pass. Other people don’t set the limits for your life — you do. In Romans 3:3, the Apostle Paul is saying, “It doesn’t matter if other people don’t believe. Their unbelief is not going to keep me from believing in my dreams.” When God puts a promise in your heart, it’s not up to other people to bring it to pass, it’s up to you! You don’t need everyone to validate you. You have to follow the voice of God for yourself and allow Him to order your steps.
Remember, God sees the hidden treasures that you’ve had buried on the inside of you. He wants to bring those treasures out and make your dreams reality! As you get rid of old, defeated thoughts and replace them with what God says about you, you will remove the limits and live the abundant life God has in store for you!

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland;” (Isaiah 43:19, NIV).
Are you going through a situation that seems beyond your control? I want to encourage you today that even when we can’t see it, God is working behind the scenes. He is doing a new thing. He is making a way for you even when there seems to be no way. He wants to lead you out of that dry, desolate place into a place of peace, safety and abundance. He wants to take you from a season of drought into a season of abundance.Your part is simply to trust Him and switch over from an attitude of fear and doubt to an attitude of faith. How do you change your attitude? Start by changing what comes out of your mouth. Instead of speaking about your situation, speak to your situation. Every day declare, “This is the day that the Lord has made. He is taking me into seasons of increase. I’m moving forward with strength through the joy of the Lord!” When you start speaking like that, soon your mind and heart will grab hold of the truth, and it won’t be long before you’re walking in the increase God has prepared for you!
