I realise I've been pretty PMS-y these few days.
Sorry guys, I hope you know I don't mean it. -hugs.
Maybe I should start splashing in life's puddles?
Got back Physics and Chemistry BT1 results today. Totally not what I expected, in a good and bad way I guess. Glad I passed both, feeling pretty screwed up that they weren't really up to standard. Got hammered by my mum for Chem results, and she's been complaining that she pays so much for my Chem tuition and I didn't get an A or a B. Well, I'm paying too =.= 70 bucks a month is alot for me, considering my "income" (is only 120 a month), hence alot of it comes from my savings. ): But yeah I think I did pretty okay on the whole, considering i slept at 8 on the night before the Chem and Math papers. Maybe extra sleep DOES bring about miracles eh? HAHA. Guys if you wna know the secret to doing well without studying, sleep earlier (so you can pay attention in class)! HAHA okay don't take this from me I'm not reliable. But well it works for me, so who knows (: [TOTALLY NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK MATH. got a feeling its gona be a big disappointment...]
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
This prayer was read out during the serenity reading today, and I was just reflecting on how meaningful it all was. To ask God to grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, change the things I can, and for wisdom to know the difference between the two. These few days (or rather few weeks) have been rather stressful (or more than usual), having to juggle block test studying, among the other stuff (problems that teenagers face everyday, yknow?), and I've been complaining alot to a few people (If you've been one of them, sorry!) and I realise sometimes things just CANNOT be changed, and I have to adapt to them eventually. I know that God has been there with me all this while, and that will never change. And I think sometimes its through the little things like scripture readings in the morning (which sometimes I dont pay attention to because LBY can talk for AGES) where God chooses to reach out to us, hinting to us the things that we should be asking for, Wisdom being one of them, instead of the shallow, material(well not really) things we tend to ask for.
The last four lines of the prayer speaks volumes, don't you think? (:
