God never fails. He never fails even if
we continually disappoint Him all along. That is how amazing God’s love for us.
It was a different kind of elation that
Monday night of November 26. A friend surprised me with a text confirming the
results were in. I was shocked. I was expecting it to be released by 28. It was
what a website published earlier. And just minutes later, a classmate texted me
‘CONGRATULATIONS! YOU PASSED THE EXAM!’,that
moment I could only think of God, His amazing love and generosity, for yet
another answered prayer.
For the past few days and say months,
after the exam, I was paranoid. I mean literally, I was. Exam results kept
haunting me. The optimist me assured that I will pass, but there’s the evil
pessimist me who kept on insisting I will fail. But it was all in my mind, just
the thoughts that I kept on rewinding inside my head. And how little faith have
I got!
I blog about my L.E.T. experience here
before, on how it went and what exactly I felt when I took the exam. But I
forgot to write about a terrifying thing that happened. I LEFT A SINGLE ITEM FOR THE GENERAL EDUCATION, UNANSWERED AND
UNSHADED. I COULD NOT FORGET IT; IT WAS A MATHEMATICS ITEM, #68. THIS, THIS WAS
THE REASON OF SO MUCH FEARS AND WORRIES TO ME.I was delirious. I was full
of “what if’s” in mind. What if the machine would jump and skip more items in
checking. What if I fail because of myclumsiness?
I feel so sorry for myself for those
times that I was doubtful of His ways. I did believe, but I did not trust. I just
thought, “DearJesus is this somehow a
challenge on my faith?”, “Am I tested
if I trust Your ways all along?”.This transformed me. I was transformed by
trouble.
Maybe God meant for me to pass the
teachers board. He meant for me to become a teacher, a licensed teacher. So
that in the future, as I serve His purpose, I will shape minds and touch
hearts. And that I can impart my skills and abilities. Use the talents He has
given me. Influence lives and spread His words.
From this day forward I promised you Lord
to live life full of love. I will keep on kneeling and serve Your purpose for
me here on earth, and continue to love you every day Jesus and Your people. I
am happy that I made it. I am especially happy to see my family wearing extra
special smiles on their faces with what I have achieved. This is an early
Christmas and birthday gift from God.
I
WISH NOT TO BE THE PERFECT TEACHER IN THE FUTURE, BUT I WILL WORK HARD TO BE
THE BEST TEACHER THAT I CAN BE. For with God, nothing is impossible.
I REALLY COULD NOT EXPRESS TOTALLY IN
WORDS WHAT I AM FEELING AT THE MOMENT. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY AND DELIGHTED THAT
GOD HAS GIVEN ME THIS WONDERFUL MOMENT IN MY LIFE, MOST ESPECIALLY TO MY CAREER. I am also grateful that I was not the only one; we
made it, my classmates from the University of Southeastern Philippines – Tagum,
BEEdsection D1. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
