Finally, I got all my grades yesterday and I passed every course I had last semester. I feel very privileged. As I attended my first classes this weeks, I noticed that some classmates from last semester were missing, a couple didn’t pass a certain course that was pre-requisit to some courses now and some had dropped half-way through last semester because some classes were too tough. I struggled a lot for certain things and I sometimes had no hope of succeeding at all, but I just thought that it would be weak and stupid of me to stop persevering. So that’s why I feel privileged, many people who failed, I thought they were better than me.

I am remembered over and over again that I must live by faith, that my purpose here in university is not to focus on my own success, but to focus on God’s purposes. It’s not that I don’t work hard in my studies, I do my best, but I don’t worry about what will happen. I care about the people around me and how I can tell them about Jesus. Is there a matter of a greater importance than that? Don’t be misled. I am not an evangelist at all and I don’t talk about Jesus often. But I’ve seen that God has been giving me opportunities to chat with people, one-on-one, outside classes. We don’t talk about Jesus yet, but it’s relationships that are slowly building and I think people will get to know me more and I don’t know, will be more interested next time I invited them to the Folies Lunaires, or any Christian activity.
