It begins..

Tomorrow it begins....

4 straight exams over 4 consecutive days...... >.<

I wished I had managed to prepare more.... I wanted to have written up all my prepared answers before it begins, so that each day I'll just have to concentrate on cramming it all in.  However that didn't happen...oh wellz.

First up is Greek - my most confident one...and the one I've done the least work on (did not touch Greek basically until today...and even then I only spent half the day on it).

Then is New Testament.  I'm confident with Acts (2 questions to answer), but not very prepared with the Epistles (1 question on genre/audience/purpose etc..).

Church history I've written up all my prepared answers...surprisingly!!  So I hopefully should do well..as long as Rhys doesn't come up with really different questions >.<

Last is Old Testament... in which I haven't managed to even find the answers for 2 of the questions...but oh wellz...I'll have to do lots of work on Wednesday night...which will be very hard after 3 exams hahaha...

On another note... I'm pretty sure I got caught by a red light camera yesterday (actually i'm 110% sure cuz the flash went off).  I dunno what I was thinking... I was just dazed and drained from all the study...and was driving home......I knew that there was a camera there...but yeah...

Really sucky...cuz I think the fine will be like $350....

But the more I think about it...worst things could have happened than just a fine.  Really, worse things HAVE happened in the past... so this is really nothing.  It's a big waste of money... but maybe God allowed me to get caught like this so that I would learn.... it may save my life some day???  I dunno...but I've been doing heaps on Job and wisdom literature.  Seeking wisdom and understanding in life......  And in Job we have God answering Job, explaining that his plans are bigger than just about Job (and infact bigger than even just humankind).  

Every time something bad happens... instead of just crying out to God "why meeeee???", maybe sit back and think that maybe God has a bigger plan somewhere in this.  And by this, I mean bigger plan than just about yourself.  People always say God has a bigger plan...thinking that maybe through misfortunate something good will happen - like you'll grow, you'll learn...etc.  But it doesn't have to be about you.  Bad stuff happens in your life... maybe cuz God has a bigger plan which has nothing to do with you!!  

Just sit back, trust God who's in control of the universe... and enjoy the ride!!!
