Exodus 13:22
Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.
Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.
The O level results came out today and I've been updated of the #15 ER's results. It's a mixed bag of result and consequently even more mixed bag of emotions. Happy for those who did well and my heart goes out for those who would be very disheartened by what they received.
Ever since I've been involved in the youth age group and there are instances of N, O, A level results, it results in a days where my heart goes out to all the students who need guidance and clarity for the results that they have. How do we help those who are disappointed with the grades and feel that their dreams are dashed and their lives path are now ruined.?
I know my life crumbled the day, some 20 years ago, when I was bitterly disappointed with what I received. Only time can really heal such disappointments. The worst thing is the fact that when one is in the midst of the storm, it's really difficult to console them to say, it's ok, when they clearly feel it's not ok.
I'm no longer helping out in the outpost, but my heart goes out for those who are wondering what to do with their life, now that the results do not seem to match their goals and expectations. But yet, at times like this, I'm thankful that God is always there for His people and though I can only try my best to show concern and advice where it is warranted for, God always goes before His people and will guide them in their lives path.
For all the emotions that each of the disappointed ER feels, I remind myself of the truth that like the people of Israel, the LORD has gone ahead of them, so that they could be assure the path ahead is not crappy nor away from the Lord's plans for them.
