Encouragement!

P sent this to me today and I was very encouraged, happy and enlightened! 
"Study not for yourself, not for your friends, not for your parents, but for something much greater, the greatest being possible, God because He alone is worthy of all praise.

Study not with the attitude that school is pointless, but that secular work can be glorious because Jesus, the Lord of all creation, humbly made tables for most of His life.

Study not with a complaining heart, but with a heart overflowing with thankfulness for where you are.

Study not with anxiety but with a peace that surpasses all understanding because you can touch your hair and rest assured that every one of them is numbered.

Study not with the feeling of being overwhelmed with what you have to do, but be overwhelmed by what He has done for you because His promises are sure.

Study not with an earthly perceptive, but with a kingdom perspective because 100 years from now we will be with Christ no matter what.

Study not for the grade, but for the Master because His grading system is better than ours.

Study not with a small attitude, but dream big because God can use your studies open glorious opportunities for you in the future.

Study not with uncertainty, but with peace from God because He is in control, He is never anxious, and He makes no mistakes.

Study not with an unfocused mind, but a focused mind because life is short, eternity is long, and our lives shall not be wasted.

Study not in a self-centered attitude, but in a prayerful attitude because we need God more than air.

Study not for the grade, but for sanctification because our character is much more important than any letter on any piece of paper.

Study for God because, by His grace, He gave you a brain and what an honor and privilege it is to be able to think, to process information, and to study at a school where the education system is better than most kids can ever dream of.

Study, because when you study, you can become fascinated with what you learn because it all points back to a Creator. The complexity of the subjects you can’t understand, the math, the sciences, the languages, the history, the arts, all of it points to a being that is so much grander and greater, a creator that is inexpressibly far above us."
 :D Thank you :D :D

Other than this lovely encouragement, today was a weird day. I am physically and mentally wiped out. I wrote an 9am exam, which wasn't too too good but it's reasonable considering I only studied for a day and didn't really sleep [never again. Sleep is too precious]. So now when I look at my psych textbook, my vision is failing me -____- But should be okay, I shall plow through. What's interesting is that for the second time, I "lost" my watcard today and found it near me. The first time, it was in my jacket; the second, my bag. loool even when I thoroughly checked my jacket and bag I couldn't find it the first time and then I go around campus trying to look for it....I even went to great lengths in searching a garbage can for any possibilities loooooooool I'm such a klutz -____- but all I could think of is "noooo, I have to pay $20 annnnnd that means I can't get the student id ticket for Ripleys nuuuuuu!!!" lol. So thankful that I found my watcard :P Hehehee, back to studying!!
