Today is the exam date. 70% to pass. Spend mid-night oil on studying and feeling so tired during the paper.

Bad mistake. Misread one question. Answer not the way question wanted. 10 marks gone. Alas, that was a giveaway question really.

Collected my mishap and then again, smile again. It is always so natural to react to situation like and start thinking, what if I fail..blar blar..and it goes on.

Collected back, these are minor issues. Well, lesson learnt. Dun sleep late before exams.

Life has blips. We need to identify these. Sometimes we dun weigh every event of life and react rightly. Our natural self has a personality but that has to be subjected to transformation. This is not an easy part. Yet it is not the self-reflection of that personality that is important. Too much introspection result in self-awareness and result in self-burdensome.

The proper way I see from the bible is to reflect on the mirror of scriptures. Reaction to scriptures is far more important that self-examination itself. Not that it is not necessary to have self-examination. Paul prescribed its importance in 2 Cor 13:5 but he compared to ask whether you are in the faith. You see faith comes by hearing. It must be regulated examination. An examination of self against scriptures.

Our goal is more like Christ not more not ourselves. Paul, Peter, John has their own personalities. That is a fact. But they have one common goal, be like Christ. And in fact they are coz they know Christ. The pursuit of Christ should over-ride our desire of just self-examination but transforming to Christ. A mirror does nothing except reflection but the desire of glorifying Christ does its work in having a worshipper of Christ.

Blips they are. My Lord is in control of all things. Well life has blips. A thankful heart I say is right spirit towards Christ who gave me life. Blips or no blips, life is good because I have Christ as my Lord.
