yesterday is the day that i have been dreading for. i had my research project presentation that is worth 20% and with duration of 15 minutes long. i set up my mind to do not just well for it, but awesome!!! that's why i haven't been socializing much the past week but focused on my presentation content and memorising of the script. i am so thankful for a school friend of mine, also doing the presentation, who lived in the same building as me. because of this convenience, we can practice presenting to each other even late at night. and we practice til we have confidence in what we're presenting and comment on each other's presentation.
my pastor sent us as often a text message and this is what it said, "You need to remind urself this truth in every second of ur life. 'God is with me, nothing to worry.'" so i prayed yesterday before leaving the house that things will go smoothly and they did! praise the Lord i actually had enough time yesterday to come early to the meeting room to practice presenting one more time and editing one little detail on my result slide that matters a lot if i dun change it. it would just kill my confidence during the presentation if i didn't have time to edit it. next thing, is that i really wanted to use a laser thing for us to point stuffs on the slide. and we managed to get it! and adriani, also from padang, came to panel our presentations. i am hoping she will be lenient towards me since we are both indonesian and come from the same hometown. hahahahahahahaa. anyway, so after the presentation ended (i went second among 3 other girls), i went home to rest. then something crossed my mind. i left my laptop charger in the hospital! and i need my laptop to do this 10k word report due next friday and to do my other revision. so i must go and get it. i left the house at 5.30pm and was hoping to settle it all by 6pm so that i have enough time to go for cell group at 7pm. however, the office door was locked when i reached as it was already after hours if it passed 5pm. zzzzzz. i waited for 15 minutes for someone to come out of the building but na-da. no such luck. so i texted my supervisor whether he was in or turning in tmrw. but he said he was neither. i almost panicked but tried to keep calm. because keeping calm makes me be able to think that i can settle things better. then as i was on my way back home on the tram, my supervisor called and said that he could stop by to pass me his key because he was going somewhere as well. what turned into a gloomy day suddenly turned bright for me. plus, my cell group leader called to say that he wants to drive me to the cell group location. it was already 6.30pm by then and i told him that he would be late if he were to pick me. but he insisted on fetching me cause he didn't want anyone to be late tt day. haha. if i were to take the public transport, it would take me another hour with lots of walking, and using a car would save me from all of that. some would say that i was lucky, but for me, i know i am blessed. My mum always tell me that good things come to those who is good. and at that point in time, i felt like i did good. no matter what i did before, it didn't matter anymore. yesterday, i felt like i had start afresh. from not coming to cell group for 2 weeks, yesterday coming to cell group again, i felt so refreshed. maybe i need to take those breaks off, i dunno. but what i know is that yesterday i was meant to come to refresh my spirit and catch up with friends again. and we had good dinner too after that @HappyPhoenix.
so yesterday started well and ended well. it was not a perfect day but it was definitely a blessed one. and that's all i need. to know that i'm loved in Him. and i know you all can feel it too if you called out His name and acknowledged Him as your Lord and saviour. i know i do.
