i am blessed

The past month's been a whirlwind of activities. it started from the studying for juris test and subsequently my 6000 islamic law paper on morality. besides the public law assignment last semester, this has been the toughest paper to write. but i am happy to have completed it. the research required of me for the paper taught me a lot and gave me a real education on many current affairs concerning Islam today. these issues and problems are real today and they also help in one's understanding of the global conflict of terrorism. it was amazing to be able to read in depth and write a paper on issues that are real and pertinent today, stuff that you read on the headlines regularly.

along with jurisprudence, i can say it has been an amazing semester. it is a joy(and pain sometimes) to read relevant stuff. REAL stuff. i have been blessed to study a subject i enjoy and which relates to my human experience. studying law is a god given opportunity, considering how bad a student i was in secondary school and JC.

But i asked God to lead me and He did. i still remember the song 'The Potter's Hand' which we sang in church just after i made the decision to retain. i was afraid, not knowing whether i chose correctly. but i decided to trust God and that song ministered to me a lot. Thereafter, the greatest miracle occured un my life and i got good results, good enough for NUS Law. if you knew me in the past you would never see me being a law student.

i didnt have the discipline, and right now, i admit i still am too lazy and slack. But God continually works miracles and sustains me. and i am just thankful for studying all that i am now. to God be all the Praise and Glory.
