Tangerine, Lunch & Boba

Today was a crazy day with 2 midterms. I have to say that it was AMAZING though because God comforted me throughout the day.

In the morning, I was super excited for my midterms after reading this email which I will send out soon. However, my mood drastically changed when I came out of my first midterm. It turns out that I possibly failed it. So, let me talk about each object:

Tangerine-

My classmate saw how down I was so she walked me to the library. Before we departed, she offered me a tangerine to brighten up my day. It is so amazing how a bright fruit could brighten up my day so much! Wow...small acts mean so much =]

Lunch-

I decided not to go to the library because I was pretty down from the midterm so I decided to eat at Ackerman. It was amazing to see Josh there. At first, I was complaining to him about my midterm. No doubt I was not in the mood to study for my next midterm at 2pm. It turns out that Josh had a midterm at 2pm. So, we decided to go to the library to study! Thank you Josh for keeping me accountable! I was able to study for a good hour before the midterm. =]

Boba-

On my way to my second midterm, I bumped into Amy Lin. Dang..that was super random. She noticed that I was not happy and ended up walking me to my class. Before I got into my class, she prayed for me. So, the midterm turned out alright...it was not as tricky as the first one. After the midterm, Amy took me out get Boba! It was a really great meet up.

Well, I want to reflect on how God has the best timing with everything. God used my classmate, Josh and Amy when I needed the comfort the most. My life is full of trials but God has blessed us with fellow believers to demonstrate his LOVE & Glory. This reminds me of my devotions today:

Ephesians 3:16-19

¹⁶I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ¹⁸may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ¹⁹and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

This verse kept my going today.
