Scholarships

I've just submitted two scholarship applications. To MAS and CAAS. It's been tiring to fill out the online applications, especially the questionaires. It wasn't easy trying to be as honest and true to myself and yet sell myself at the same time. There's this paragraph I wrote in the personal statement to MAS which I like, haha, but i can't put it here in case anyone steals my lines. Somehow through it all, [i took a few days to complete], I felt God's presence with me. The sense of peace and joy are not coincidental, and i feel that even if I'm not even waitlisted, God has a future and a plan for me.

I came across Deut 12:12 this morning during bible reading. Then I read EDWJ [Everyday with Jesus]. And when I combine the two together, this is what I've learnt:

God requires MUCH from us! Our heart, soul and mind, which is just about everything I own. He leaves you none of your storage space so that i can keep what i want. It seems that the God we serve is demanding and when Christians have such a view, of course, we get tired. DUh, it's like having a split personality! BUT, what we truly lack is the revelation of how much GOd loves us. The bible says that we cannot know the width, height and depth of His all-powerful love. But if we would have just but a glimpse, we would find that all that we have to give is not even enough.
