Pass can le?

"What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ."

Philippians 3:8


I remember talking to Joanna on Friday night after Del’s G12 dinner. She was rushing home to do work and I was still hanging out with the rest. Jo ask: “ DMN, no need study ah?” I say pass can le la! Well, I didn’t know why recently I could easily say this statement out. Huijuan is one who focuses on grades…No A means failure, the whole world can collapse. This is a statement that is coming from a girl who topped O levels among the Sec 5 cohort, top in Temasek Poly, top in NIE. (not trying to boast here, want to emphasis my point) I think it is difficult to have come out from my mouth. But after last semester when Simon was admitted to hospital in the midst of my exam plus some other things, it dawned upon me what was important in my life, it is my family including the spiritual one and KNOWING GOD! If God wasn’t in my life, I will not know how to remain calm and peaceful when Simon was admitted. If del and the rest wasn’t there, I didn’t know who to confide in. If my cell didn’t send encouraging sms to me, I couldn’t have the joy in me. My friends, today I am not trying to say just get a pass in your results or just do ok in your job. Please by all means still excel in them! I believe God will give me at least a 3rd class honours. But today are all those school grades and work climbing over you, controlling you? Are they the most important thing in your life? Do you consider them rubbish? Today is our priority on spending time to know God, building God’s family or munching on these rubbish?
