Exams, and exam.

I've been praying that God will teach me how to trust Him, and to let go of my self-sufficiency.

These few weeks He's really answered that prayer.

Last week, this and next have been and will be my most academically demanding weeks I've experienced at Penn yet. But although I'll be sitting for many exams, I know the real exam for me is not one of intellectual endeavor, nor perseverance, nor human intelligence. It is a test of trust in an Almighty God whose grace is sufficient, who is my strength when I am weak, and who is my all in all when I feel helpless.

If you could remember me in prayer, I'd really appreciate it. I've to say it's been quite overwhelming and stressful.

Sigh. 7 more exams, and I'll be home. But it seems so far away.
