Firstly, to all who dont know as of yet... IM OFFICIALLY done with exams FOREVER!!! that is if I dont have to retain for one more module. =p in any case, I would like to give thanks to God because He has been very good during this period of exams, keeping me awake during hours of sleeping, keeping me in good health throughout this tiring 2 weeks, giving me the energy to wake up every morning, and giving me the discipline to study and try to love what I am studying. Therefore, I would really like to give thanks to HIM for bringing me through so many years of studies!

And nextly, would like to share with all of you what I learnt and what happened to me on tuesday night while I was giving tuition to one of my kids...

When i arrived at her place that evening, I noticed that there were 2 guests over at her house and being the kaypoh me, i asked her who they were and found out that they were actually religious leaders of her Japanese Buddhist religion. And like our cell leaders, they actually go to visit my tuition kid's dad cuz he was suffering from a knot in his stomach. So i started asking her questions about her religion and if she believes in her religious god. And she goes on to tell me "yes i believe althea because many times i pray in my troubles and i feel calm after that." And right immediately after she said that, i heard her religious leaders chanting over her parents over and over again in a foreign language.

And i asked her, "Do u know what they are saying?"
She said, "No but i guess they do..."
"But what if they dont? Dont you think it's really scary to be chanting in language you dont understand?"

- pause-

And immediately she asked back... "So althea why do you believe in your God?"

And to be honest, i tend to avoid that particular question because there's always this fear in me that I might not be able to handle all her other questions so i told her... "Pris, that will take forever to explain and we dont have time today... maybe some other day k?" And i picked up my pen to start marking her work...

And then i felt the Holy Spirit tell me to stop marking and to tell her and that He will guide me. I was really rather frightened but then i prayed a really short prayer and i put down my pen, and told her... "Ok come let's talk!"

And i started telling her about my testimony, I asked her questions, i invited her to think about her beliefs and all that. and to summarize, at the end of the conversation, I realised that indeed the Holy Spirit was guiding the entire conversation and that He was speaking through me things i would never knew what to say to someone. And in the end, she told me this...

"Actually chanting is stupid althea because they tell us if you chant, you can become a god. How dumb and unreal is that?"

And i knew God has started working then. :)
