So sometimes, we asked God why. amidst of all the praying and the faith that we all had, things still happens the way they are. so why did she do badly? and why did they change their mind then?
so it is of human nature to question God, and most of the time, it tests our faith. But, what are we going to do about it? That, that is the most important question.
So, i recall that particular MKC session we had, that bex was telling the children about how God answers prayer.
Amy Carrmicheal had brown eyes and she always wanted her mother's blue eyes. Having heard about God's faithfulness in answering prayers at a young age of 8, she prayed to God with all her heart, mind and soul that He'll make her brown eyes blue the next morning. And so, she went to sleep.
She woke up the next morning, obviously disappointed and couldn't figure out the reason why.
Amy was in her twenties when she became a full time missionary to India. As controls were quite strict among the villages, no outsider- except Indians- were allowed to live in these villages. Thus, Amy applied cocoa and coffee powder all over her face and covered her hair with a scarf. It was then that Amy thank God for her brown eyes. Without her brown eyes, no amount of change can make her look like an Indian and reach out to the people there.
(of course la, lets not talk about contact lenses)
So, there is a reason for everything, and everything works for the good for those who love Him (Rom 8:28). Sure, we are dissapointed. but we can't do anything about it, but pray that woman knows how badly she's done and strive to change her stream next year, which i overheard her telling her fren on the phone the other night (THANK GOD)
So apart from relying on the sports school, we still had to choose 6 other schools, for just in case purposes. as we chose, we realised that she over qualified for many of those schools. we figured out that if she had done a lil better, she would only be able to qualify for the schools that were not as good. being the top of the stream now, she was able to apply for the better schools!! =)
Well, as we said, if it is not His will, we shall just continue to put our faith in Him. Besides, He has proven HImself to be good and true over my last 20 years.. and i love my Jesus so much. =)
well, i figured out something else too: my sister, she, teaches me to be humble.
