Elated

After a heavy lunch and a good time catching up with old friends, I found myself drowsing into slumberland right in front of my computer. My short nap was rudely interrupted by a phone call from one of my college friend. Sometimes, I just don’t understand why some people just have the special ability to call you at the wrong time. They are just so gifted.

He asked me about my CIM results. I jumped up. No. He must be wrong. The results will only be out on the 28^th, not today. I explained to him. I know because I was dreading for that particular day, to see my results, especially the last day of my exam when I fell horribly sick. I don’t know how I fared. I dread knowing it.

To add the matter worst, he told me that he failed all his subjects. My heart just dropped. I quickly made a call to another classmate and found out that he too failed a few subjects. Oh no. I ran over to the Administrator’s secretary to check whether there is any mail for me. None. Phew. I ran down to the guard house to check whether there are any new mails. And there are. Lying on the table was a few envelopes and I noticed the larger one, an A4 sized envelope, addressed to me. I grabbed everything and went up to the office.

I caught myself praying to the Lord, begging Him to grant me good results. (don’t you think it’s little bit too late) J As I was sitting in front of my pc with my hand clutching on the envelope, I told God, “Let Your will be done” and opened the letter.

Yes. God is good. I passed all my subjects. I almost cried. He has granted me my heart’s desire. Suddenly, I felt like I’m a spoilt brat. I don’t deserve it. I don’t think I could do it without God. I thank Him again and again. I feel like hugging God, thanking Him for what He has done.

I am elated. I was lost for words. I just want to find someone to share my joy. I saw my friend nearby, gave him a big bear hug. He returned me with a punch. Haha. I don’t mind.

This is the day that the Lord hath made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Thank you, Abba!
