verse of the day + some reflections
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”
- Hebrews 13:5
this verse sums up what i've been struggling with for the past few days.
i pray that i will keep His promise close to my heart.

yesterday was the last class of Social Problems.
i was sitting there, listening intently to the presentations, and was truly amazed at how smart my classmates are. haha.
if i've always wondered what my passion is... i gotta admit that i really love Sociology.
i may not do well for my sociology mods, but it doesnt mean that i dont like them!
anw, digressing,
i was doing my QT just now, and suddenly something came to mind.
the fact that i'm in SMU and have the opportunity to be among intellectual classmates means that i have the potential to contribute intelligently too, right?
it just hit me that maybe, i'm not living up to my potential.
i dont believe in chance nor luck.
i've always thought that i'm in SMU cause God wants me to reach out to pre-believers in school (which is true),
but apart from that, surely He has put me in SMU Social Sciences because i have some interest/potential in this area...
know what i mean? it's like, He could have placed me in Computer Science (which was what i would have done if SMU didnt accept me), and there, i would still be reaching out to pre-believers.
but i would definitely have an extremely difficult time in Computer Science because i dont have the interest/talent/skills in that area at all.
hmmm.
do i make sense?
okay so random. haha.
but yeah... i guess the takeaway is that,
i do have the potential to do well. God knows my interests, my personality, and He has placed me here for a reason.
since i have the opportunity to study something that i really like, i should make the best out of it.
only then can i graduate from SMU with no regrets.
dont waste your potential.
live life with passion.
dear God, please let this conviction be rooted deep in my heart.
