Post-A Level results thoughts

Seated with my class, I was extremely nervous when my name wasn't called up under the "4 distinctions for 4 content subjects" category... Somehow that was so even though I knew for sure I wouldn't be called up.

As the list proceeded to the "3 distinctions for 4 content subjects" category, somehow, this feeling of uncertainty and nervousness was escalating in my heart as the classes of SA, SB and SC were going past... I do not know why, I was just really scared actually.

Then suddenly, my name was called. There was this feeling of sudden relief over any other feeling, be it joy or accomplishment.

As I walked up towards the stage, I felt tears falling from my eyes. They were tears of relief, tears of joy. On hindsight, I realise that I do not deserve the results that I got.

Even right now, I know that all this wouldn't have been possible if God had not been behind me all the way. It was Him who saw me through the studying, it was Him who kept me calm during the papers and it was Him who sustained me through the entire examination period. It really makes me wonder how bad things would have gotten if I had not turned to God throughout the exam period and relied solely on my own strength and capability.

Father, I thank You LORD for seeing me through this period, thank You for all you have helped me, for all You have given me. Thank You for assissting me so faithfully, no matter how undeserving I was. Indeed LORD, I shall sing of Your grace and Your mercy forever and ever. Amen.
