"i live to worship you, i breathe to worship you..."
i thank you Lord that you've drawn me to your side once again.

there's project mate of mine who's been mia-ing on the entire group for weeks at a stretch. today was the dateline to come up with something concrete if not we told him that we'll have to exclude him from the group. he sent a copy of his work over to us via email and it wasn't very good/comprehensive (given that we all had the entire term to work on it). i talked to him, found out he has some family problems.

so i started to pray for him and it went something like this. "Lord please give xyz a peace of mind, your peace"... and then suddenly, i did a double take and realised that i wasn't giving him much peace of mind either by wanting to exclude him from the grp (although he did try). our group also thought of requesting the teacher to grade our sections individually and tt was just selfish to think about it.
well, i couldn't be the one who should be hindering God's answers. so i decided for myself and the rest of the group members decided too, to give him one more chance...

perhaps many people will say that what our group just did was plain foolish. like how can u trust a guy who hasn't been doing much work, doesn't attend lectures, group discussions, promises to get work done but never does previously... to do the work now? aren't we scared that we might get a worser grade just becoz of one person's inefficiency, laziness etc.?

but there is a hope in God. and somehow there is a peace from God when i finally did what i did (and the group too) that nothing can take away. i only pray that i will learn not to judge anyone and depend on the grace of God, more and more for every day of my life. i will keep everyone informed abt wat happens to the project. the dateline is this thurs and the presentation is saturday... i dnt feel so stressed anymore. now onto other assignments and stuff... :)
