acta est fabula

acta est fabula - The drama has been acted out.
(Augustus)

Exams are finally over, the time has come to have a break. Well a one week break after which there is the General Assembly then a 6 week placement. However, I am looking forward the prospect of putting some book knowledge into action.


Yet I say acta est fabula because after the exams I always feel they are full of drama. Sudden last minute worries that the wrong questions will come up, the nerves, the apprehension and the concern over failing. Yet somehow once its all said and done it always turns out okay.


Yet I am reminded of the verse:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. - Romans 8:28
It strikes me how little faith I have! How I pray for help, to get through my exams, how the college pray together for help during the times of testing, then when our prayers are answered we are full of surprise! 'O ye of little faith' is what they say, yes the drama is over but lets hope its different next year!

  1. what do you want to be different next year? Do you want the LORD not to answer your prayers?

  2. No i DO want the Lord to answer my prayers, the thing which needs to be different next year is the lack of faith! The surprise should not be there that God has answered rather worship in response to his answering!
