Blessings all mine, with ten thousand besides

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, to the Laaaaaaamb~

Yes, I had three near misses in the circuit. I knew, just knew how close my back right wheel was to the curb. So every single time I was like 'help Lord Jesus!' and schlooop, slipped right pass the curb juuuust barely missing it.

Whew!

I wasn't very nervous last night, cause I realized that pass or fail would be in God's hands, and as it turned out, it was. Got my cg mates to pray for me. Dad and Mom prayed for me too this afternoon before they sent me there, and that helped a lot too! (Cause Daddy pon tang work this morning because his car was being serviced hahahahha~)

During warm up I really felt the test results would be ambiguous, and really dependent on God's will. So while waiting for the tester to arrive (I had 45 mins >.<) I just prayed about everything I could think of, all the people and things I haven't really sat down and talked to God about yet.

The amazing thing was that I just felt so calm during the test. A certain knowledge that I wasn't alone. And I'm sure I wasn't, or I'd have failed my test instead of passing!

I think my tester today was a nice person too. He fined me six points for 'not really slowing down at the hump', and when I went over said hump at 'too fast' a speed he did this bouncing movement. Lol. I was totally thinking 'what are you doing >.>?' (I think he just didn't want to let me to breeze by with zero points.) But besides that on the road it was just soooo smooth. When I went for my warm up there were obstacles galore, but on my test route there weren't any. It was drizzling during my warm up, but the sun was out during my test.

By the time I went down the straight road and back towards the driving school, I was just so happy cause I knew I hadn't screwed up. But I didn't let myself go 'WHOOOOSH' until I had finally parked the car.

Pardon for sin, and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide!

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand besides!

The version of this hymn by Selah has the male soloist really belting out the last word of 'great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me~' and when I first heard it I didn't agree. I thought this song was reflective and so it should end gently.

But after today I know just how he's feeling. The gratefulness, blessedness and joy just burst out in that last 'me', impossible to hold back. The knowledge of how much one is indebted and completely unable to repay.

I think maybe I've grown abit today :P

Au revior, driving school. I don't have to darken your doors again.

JOY TO THE WORLD! XD

Oh yes, while I'm at it I shall blog about the SMU law musical. It wasn't 100% professional, but it was entertaining. I enjoyed it very much. If my church musical can reach the same standard, I think I will be over the moon.

Their music and lyrics writer samuel ng is another talented person who doesn't have professional training. Haish. People like him make me a wee bit depressed. I mean, what's the point of all the grade 8 in piano and violin? I think his musicality is way better than all my classical training. Sometimes talent just can't be replaced. I can't even composed for nuts, so what's the point of grade 8...?

But God intends different things for different people.

Alright, Shana wants to be mentioned, so here's your one paragraph of 'fame'. She was the first person to respond after I mass smsed everyone. Haha. (Happy now?) And she asked how I took to the gory graduation video. I tried to ignore as much as I could of it, and spent the time praying that such things would never happen to those I know.
