Today is April 1, 2025.
Almost five years since I posted my last blog entry. My previous post was written while we were in the middle of the pandemic and life was full of uncertainties back then. When I came across that blog entry a few days ago, I realized that God has indeed answered my prayers I wrote back then. My life now is a result of that answered prayer. I’ll write a more detailed post about this, maybe later.
I decided to write a blog entry today because March has been wild and a lot of things have happened since the start of the year. In the past month alone, I took the comprehensive exam as part of the requirement for completing my masters, but with little preparation. I enjoyed that journey, though it was challenging because I met new people and learned to share the struggles with my batchmates to make it feel more bearable.
The last month was also one of my busiest in years in terms of spending time with people. I was able to catch up with officemates, old friends, and an old flame (or spark?! haha). It’s maybe because I want to maximize the remaining time I have as a full-time student.
March was indeed a month full of ups and downs for me. But if there’s one thing I think God is teaching me in the past days, it’s total dependence and trust in Him regardless of the circumstances. He’s teaching me to rely completely on His grace and power and not on my own effort. He’s also teaching to be grateful to Him and praise Him when the situation is calm and free from worries and stress.
“Rejoice always, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV)
