Learning point today: Misunderstandings happen but God sees me through

well, today has been a different day for me..but i thank God for seeing me through at that point of time. it happened during lit class..the grps were supposed to discuss abt the comparison thing..yup.and my grp had actually finished most of the job..just need some final touchups..so we disucssed abt who does what..and Mrs C. kept thinking i was very free and had nth to do..we were supposed to write down notes abt the work but my grp didnt write cos we did not need to do much..then the bell goes..she shouted, Jaime! that's why i kept calling your name! you took my words for granted on your grp's work! I was in total shocked..what did i do wrong? mmm..ok..her stare was super scary.but then at my seat..God was actually comforting me..i felt calm..but not knowing what expression to give. then as we left the class..my grp member went up to her to explain.and when i showed my notes to her..she just held my arm..and i thought she wanted to say sth to me..but i guess that was her form of comfort..or maybe apology but as i walked out of the classroom..yes..frens came to me and said its ok la..not your fault and stuff..but i felt that made me more sad! of course..little tears came down..but when i went back to mrs koh's homeroom..i sat there and thought..God had a reason for this..HE wanted me to know that misunderstandings do come our way..and we should not treat it seriously..and i felt better after knowing that God was with me! this incident kind of make me remember what happened in pri 6 where the teacher misunderstood me and use the wooden ruler and hit my hand! haa..that time i was younger..not matured yet..so i cried..but then the tcher apologised..and i felt better!
And God had a reason for the teacher to scold me today..instead of my other grp members..HE just wanted me to think through..we shouldnt blame the person for misunderstandings..So, i thank God for being my comfort today! smiles :)

God's reminder for me today..

Well, i realise that one month has passed..just like that...time is ticking fast..and God reminded me that i should not waste time anymore..time is precious. i gt back this test result today..and realised this is the second time God had dropped a bomb on me..i was really wwondering why..i know that there's a reason behind this..i jumped to conclusions too quickly..but i sat at the table..staring at my mistakes..taking time to think through carefully..have i done my best? Is God trying to tell me to put in more effort into my work? I 'm sure now..He wants me to focus on my work..at the same time..not neglecting Him. I thank God for this second bomb dropped on me.so i could tink carefully..and i thank God for Rachel who talked to me online regarding this..i shared with her..Encouragements are important! We are on the journey of learning till we go heaven! What we have on earth isnt important..but we should store our treasures up in heaven..for example..glorifying God instead of pleasing men. yup..thats my learning journey today..Its time to work hard! Lord, i pray for Your mercy on me as i go through this crucial year. May You allow me to work hard and also glorify You at the same time. Amen.
