God is GREAT

God is SO SO good.
he has just saved me from eternal damnation, and the possibility of failing my chinese SIA.
We were supposed to present our SIA today, but my groupmate forgot to send our powerpoint over. When we realised it, with less tha an hour to the presentation itself, i felt my stomach go lower and lower and lower. and fear rise like a great BIG bubble. We desperately needed our powerpoint, and we desperately needed to pull off our SIA, which constitutes 30% of our overall grades. For the next 30 minutes, my teammate tried calling home to get it sent over, but to no avail. I had every reason to believe that we were 30 minutes away from being barked at till we cried, or worse, made to sit through to the presentations of first two groups only to stand up in front and see our marks slide far far away.
as our first recess was about to end, we decided to go see our chinese teacher and BEG for a postpone, although she had said VERY firmly that if we screwed this up, there was absolutely NO chance. All the way down to the chinese staffroom and down to the canteen (where she was eating), i just prayed and prayed and prayed. i prayed for forgiveness for doing this project a little last minute, and i prayed that Christ would miraculously intervene. All the while, at the back of my head thinking " God WIll answer, cos the scripture says he will!" yet another cynical part of me was saying: we are doomed. God is going to punish us for doing this last minute. ah. i wish i would fall down the stairs and hit my head or something.
When we very timidly approached Liu lao shi and told her our dilemma, she just said "gai tian loh!".
i felt like laughing, and crying, and jumping for joy. i felt like singing and dancing. God HEARS. and he does, and will answer! There is no way lao shi could have been so merciful, and so NICE. We didn't deserve the extension. I knew it. we had absolutely NO chance of getting this extention. but GOd intervened, and he answered! HAH! Don't you think it's Godly- coincidental? Last week's sermon and this? And it isn't just today. God answered my prayers yesterday, even half-formed, unspoken ones that i felt was just TOO impossible to EVER happen, so i didn't ask. Yet he answered them!
yesterday, i missed the bus to take me to chua chu kang to cheer on my fellow trackmates. I had mistaken the time for us to leave class, and had only realised it half an hour after the bus had left. i was frantic, and i rushed out of class and dashed across the bridge. I felt horrible. i was so sure that i had missed Claire's race, and i was so sure that Ms tan would frown horribly at me for being late. I had no idea how to get there, except that there was a zero in the bus number, and possibly a 3 or a 1 or a 9 or a 7. After killing myself in anxiety, i arrived at the bus interchange and asked the information desk what bus to take :307. so i dashed into the queue and waited for a very short time, until the bus arrived. when i rush up the stairs to the stadium, i saw Ms tan in front of me, and all of a sudden, i was so sure that Ms tan was going to kill me. But, suprise, suprise, she SMILED at me and waved me in. and then i saw Claire and Joy walking out of the stadium in their track suits and i half-registered that they were in their warming-up attire. I HADN'T MISSED THEIR RACE! i could have shouted for joy. God, you ROCK! Thank you for letting me see claire run! otherwise, i'd have felt terrible. what kind of a lousy friend would i be if i didn't even go see one of my closest friends run? Anyway, GOd is so wonderful, marvelous and superb and all the other beautiful things that cannot be spoken.
