You are so faithful
Like the sun that rises everyday,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the rain that You send,
And every breath that I breathe,
You are so faithful, Lord
Like the rose that comes alive every spring,
You are so faithful. Lord, You are faithful.
Like the life that You give,
to every beat of my heart,
You are so faithful, Lord.
I see the cross and the price You had to pay,
I see the blood that washed my sins away.
In the midst of the storm
through the wind and the waves,
You'll still be faithful, You'll still be faithful,
When the stars refuse to shine and time is no more,
You'll still be faithful,
You'll still be faithful, Lord.

6th may 2008 was my last day of sch. but not really last day of year cux we have attachment. time really flies. one year down, 2 more to go and then "world, here i come".. it's so scary.. :s
as i look back on the past year, i am amazed how faithful God is. the cramming throughout the whole night (something which i promise not to do next sem -i hope- due to the dire consequences), and staying up all night just to finish assignments/projects, realising many things about myself during lectures and what nots, NMs/PGs/crusade DG.. God has really provided for me and been there for me.
i really thank God for how He has guided me and sustained me thru it all.. and i want to trust that He will bring me thru year 1 and to year 2 because He has brought me to it.
i'm really looking forward to attachment, cux it's the more common type of nursing. am excited about it.. about the skills that were gonna perform (simple as it may be).. but then i am afraid. extremely afraid too. i really need to go in there with alot of strength, emotionally, physically, mentally and most importantly spiritually. i need God's strength all the more this time round. but then i may be posted to a respiratory ward instead. there's just so many things to learn and i need a more teachable heart.
well, on a lighter note, the next few days are gonna be relaxing ones. meeting up with people, sakae with my sis, shopping with my mum, slacking.. but then i've promised my mum to help out more in the housework after my exams. will keep that promise.
a few months ago i was the onlooker, the patient's relative. now i will be the nurse, the student nurse. i am afraid.

i survived this week!! slept about 8-9 hours from sunday night till fri evening.. sunday and thurs night was spent doing essays, therapuetic com and case report.. tues had bsf and then had to complete PBL.. was supposed to submit it 2359 (and it was i who gave the deadline this week cux i led -whoops-) but i submitted it at 4am instead.. slept at 4 plus woke up at 6.. wed night i couldn't tahan and slept at 12.. wanted to do my case report but i just kept falling asleep.. then i overslept on thurs morn.. had to cab to nuh, cux i had cardio rehab field trip and could not be late.. it cost 1.35 times the normal rate cause it was peak hour.. :( i wanted to go for FG on fri but my parents didn't allow cux i didn't sleep much.. fell asleep before my parents left at 8pm.. woke up at 10am and helped my dad do stuff.. missed youth praise meeting but then i reached in time for LT meeting.. then we took celine's car to grace n wei song's house.. we play fun games (not the typical youth-ish kinda games) n had dinner.. started to rain so we went down one level and had dinner there..
you ask me how i did it, i'll tell u i don't know.. i really don't know.. but it's really God who brought me thru this whole week.. been listening to Max Lucado book, the audio version of "in the eye of the storm" (want APA format? haha..).. and he said exactly the same thing.. guess while listening to him, i been realising alot of things.. anyway, i don't know how i managed to keep awake this whole week when i slept so little.. i dunno how i managed to smile and laugh even when i felt so tired.. but i do know that God carried me thru.. and i'm really thankful..
but thru it all, i feel super guilty, cux i think i've been quite a bad testimony? skipped 2 lectures this week cux of essay.. broke a few promises, was supposed to donate blood at TH but then i just was so worried that i'll faint cux of lack of blood and sleep (i feel giddy very easily).. think i've not been a really good steward of time too.. was on msn alot.. maybe i should just fast from msn this week.. and also, i know that i'm not really taking care of my physical body.. depriving it of sleep and rest.. but God is gracious and still sustained me.. perhaps He's also training me for shift work in future.
and also, i guess God constantly reminded me of yiling's sms(thanks, sister if u see this).. times of refreshing, here in Your presence, no greater blessing, than being with You, my soul is restored, my mind is renewed, there's no greater joy Lord, than being with You. even though i didn't spend as much time with God as i wanted to, it really made me kept shooting arrow prayers to God and reminding myself that He will carry me thru.. i guess this also made me not want to skip nursing ministry or prayer groups or crusade DG, or even BSF, cux i knew that i could find renewal in these times.. that God could used these times to encourage me and He did.. was really encouraged by worship during NM tho i felt super sleepy while we were talking after that.. and i'm really blessed by the sessions of prayers we had during crusade and prayer group.. think everyone's going thru the same thing and we all realised that we're been so far from God.. but there is so much comfort in just going to God and seeking His forgiveness knowing that He has already forgiven us and is still carrying us thru it all..
after doing my case report, i realised how i've become so grades orientated.. throughout the whole week while doing essays, case report, PBL, i was just trying to pia.. to chiong and just to complete it.. to get as much marks as possible.. i dealt with Mdm Ong's disease and not her as a patient(not that she is a real person tho..).. and i forgot the most important thing- that i am really studying for God.. i think in nursing it's quite straight-forward.. as we're supposed to study for our patients.. to care for them, their condition and their person.. and thru all these, we glorify God by being His instruments..
and oh, on a ligher note, i bought a new mp4! :) super love it.. it's memory is 8 times the size of my old one and only twice the price! and this one has brand, as in not some china brand that i've never heard of before.. haha.. i'm quite thankful cux it's much cleared when i record lecture.. as in there's not so much static noises and i can hear the lecturer's voice much clearer.. and it's touch screen! :)
been resting today.. sleeping alot besides chr.. kinda feeling much better now and i feel ready for this week.. not that we have alot of lessons tho..
and msn is giving me prob again.. so sorry if i dun reply you..
jia you everyone!!! let's press on and be reminded that it's God who we are serving!! :)

God has been really good to me..
i asked Him last week how He can He provide for me. i mean that i have human needs too.. like the hugs and all.. and it's been really great. everyday, i can thank God for sth He has done to show me that He loves me..
mon: met to pray as usual. this time another crusade member joined us at the end. my physio paper started at 8.30am, half hour after my seniorrs left and he didn't have lesson after we prayed. i knew him for about 10 min and he offered to pray for me. it was really sweet. and i really thank God for that cux it was a timely reminder and i felt His peace throughout the exam, though i felt that i've not studied enough..
tues: didn't really study for physio quiz.. cux i was too tired.. had to settle many other things.. but then, i managed to pass it.. and not only pass but to get 70% right for it.. although not graded, i'm really thankful cux it made me feel better.. felt quite sick.. realised that i had fever.. discovered when we were taking vital signs for each other for our practical test next week..
slept 6 hrs for mon and tues.. yet God sustained me..
wed: had fever still but had a not so busy day.. was emotionally quite draining,, we watched "tuesdays with morrie" for PIP lecture/tutorial.. cried like crazy cux it was so touching.. my seniors thought that i was sick cux my eyes were red.. haha.. but the most amazing thing- God spoke to me thru it..
today: woke up at 9.05am, reached sch at 10am sharp-just on time for anat lab. overslept and i didn't hear 2 alarms and it was cheryl's alarm that woke me up. ran for the bus and it was so amazing that i reached on time. :)
many other little things/messages/ people that God has used this week to encourage me.. really thank God for these little things that make my day. and how i feel so loved by God thru it. He has really answered me in many ways..
there's crusade DG time tmr.. gonna meet the usual prayer group to pray before that at 12 and then use wendy(my senior)'s bp set to practice.. she's gonna help us.. yay! :)
i need to fast from msn/blogging again.. did so last week and i felt super good after that..
