When
I was studying a degree in Silliman University, all I know was “studying” is
the toughest work ever. But when I graduated college, I realize that finding an
actual job is even tougher!
How
did I survive in my college life? Oh well, there’s this one night when I found
myself trying so hard “burning midnight candles” just to excel in class yet so unfruitful
and here’s my dorm friends having fun all day and all night not even bothered
about their studies yet excels in class! What’s up with them? Then, I started
going out with them, having fun with them and just enjoying everything! They invited
me to church and there I get to know Christ, received the gift of salvation
from Him and decided to live my life for Him. Since then, my life as student
changed! As a student starting in my walk with God, I hold on to the scriptures
in Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these
things will be given to you as well.” Every
day of my life I made sure to prioritize God. In everything that I do, I would
consider God. I pray before I study, I serve before I play and I don’t
compromise Sunday services even at moments when my exams were heavy and my student load were full. I enjoyed every
day of my student life having fellowships, victory groups and one2one yet I did
not fail in my subjects. I don’t even have to struggle just to pass my course. There
were favours upon favours, blessings upon blessings and breakthroughs upon
breakthroughs in each and every area of my life not just in my studies! Right
there and then I discovered my purpose in life, and it is to honour God and
make disciples. It’s crazy but so true. It seems like I won a jackpot prize in
lotto plus a genie in a bottle with unlimited wish, but it’s more than that. I
realized that all I need was God. I don’t
have to compromise my time with God just to get what I want but instead to hold
on to Him and let Him do the work for me and allow His purpose for my life to
be fulfilled! In Him, I had the strength to do everything and anything without
worrying about something! I mean, He is the only source of my entire being! Because
of Him, I was able to thrive and finished my degree in Bachelor of Science in
Physics in Silliman University in exactly 4 yrs.
Now
that I’m already finished with my college life, I don’t really know where to
go. The field is too broad to be specific. So many competent people that I must
face and so many obstacles to overcome, yet I’m secured that my God won’t let
me down! I’m so excited to see my future and to grasp it with my hands. I know
it would be great for my God’s will is good, pleasing and perfect! C’mon!
PS: please bear with my English and Grammar, I'm still on the process of recalling my stock-up knowledge... Enjoy!
