Passed

Hallelujah! I have passed the PhD thesis examination. Although my presentation may not be perfect to the level of full mark, I have peace in the entire process. Thank Lord and thank you for your support and every prayer for me.

Rehearsal for PhD examination

I have just finished a rehearsal for my Thu's PhD examination to my supervisor and other fellow students in the research group. The presentation time was 50 minutes, which is within the time limit of one hour. After the presentation, my supervisor asked me to give a mark, with a maximum of 10 points, for my presentation. I gave myself a 6-7 points. He then invited other students to give comments. At last, he commented on every single slide of my powerpoint and suggested that if I can revise all the changes, make enough practices to show confidence and be well prepared to respond to all the questions, I will score the full mark of 10.

testimony

Here is a meaningful testimony about a private school for young people who were used to abuse drugs.

"林希聖說：「各人心中都有塊攔路石，要忍耐、咬緊牙根、流着眼淚去處理，你不處理，它永遠也是你的攔路石。」"

Humble

"Blessed Savior, make me humble,
Take away my sinful pride;
In myself I’m sure to stumble,
Help me stay close by Your side. —D. De Haan"

Focus

Lord, I can be easily distracted, let my eyes be fixed on Calvary's cross.

Lord Jesus, who died on Calvary's cross, is sufficient to help me to go out all difficult circumstances that I am facing.

Boundary

Psalm 16
Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge.
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." ...
LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.

Surely, I am delighted to live in the boundary lines set by the LORD!

Don't worry

Bear this in mind:

The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Psalm 46:7
