Some oppurtacles and obstaclunities

Today I got the message that I didn't pass my exams... It's not over yet, I have a last change; I will do mathematics again next wednesday. It kinda came out of nothing, because I was almost sure I would not have to redo any of my exams.
Next to that I'm also busy with a stageplay in which I play one of the leading parts. It's very fun to do, but the performance with public will be next week, so I've got a lot on my mind, because we still need to practice, but now I also have to study for maths again.
Enough to worry about, but I try not to. I know God is there with me and I will learn from every situation.

I just regret the fact that not everybody can see problematic situations in such a way. My parents for example, they worry a lot more about me graduating than I. They feel like I will lose one year of my life if I will not graduate. I won't be happy or something if I will not graduate, but next to that I just see it as an oppurtunity to get to know God better and spend more time with Him, learn other things. There's more to life than your study or job.

I just pray for the people around me who have sorrows and a lot on their mind. I want to encourage them to seek God in their problems and just rest with Him and receive His love. Last year I learned a very important life lesson which said: See opportunities instead of obstacles! I think a few of you know exactly what I'm talking about.

God I want to thank you for your presence in every aspect of my life. Even when the sun doesn't shine, I can come to You and I feel Your warmth in my heart. I pray for those around me, that when they have sorrows, difficulties in life, problems or anything else, You will comfort them and give them Your love and peace. You said: "I will give you rest" and I thank You for being true to that. With all my heart I want to share Your love with those who need it so much. You are a graceful God and I thank you for that. Please fill my heart and the hearts of my family and friends with the desire to speak the truth, to forgive and bless each other. Open our hearts Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.
