The last two weeks time and God's endless mercy
towards me
Let me start with the previous week. A tough one, If it wasn't the
Lord I'll definetely would have been in Bulgaria already. I had an
important resit in International Labour Law. As I posted some time
ago we failed on our previous defense and we have to do it again
both the repot the presentation and the report. I was mentally and
emotionally unstable and I neededed desperately help. I prayed to
God and waited. This time God worked through Ina (a colleague of
mine), after I asked her for help and explained her the bad state
in which I was. She volunteered to help, of course I had my part
and I had to push her a couple of times to write the report, but
however it wasn't me but God himself working in me. The report was
done and few minor changes were required to be made in order to
complete it. We had a big clash with Allan (my Dutch group mate).
The project was on it's way to fail again. Ina helped again she
spoke with him and me and managed to calm us down.. They both
completed the report. I asked her again about help, we needed to
rehearse the presentation. We rehearsed for a few hours the night
before the defense itself. Then 2 more times few hours before the
presentation on the presentation day. We then had the presentation,
I should underline that Ina helped me again outlining what are the
most important parts I need to present and setup the frames for my
presentation part. I can just say let God bring us goodness and
peace for her kindness to me in this project. We had the
presentation eventually in Thursday in 15:15 in the room I had
reserved (D 107) = (1+0+7) = 8 (the number of perfection) according
to Bible's numerology also the number of Jesus Christ (The God Man)
our saviour. When I was booking the room I thought that this was a
good thing. Booking the room is another story I did struggled until
I arranged the room and invite the lecturers. The lecturers invited
were Joop Vinke our specialty dean and E. Lengton our law teacher.
The presentation we gave was on an avarage level a ways better than
the previous time when it was completely horrible. The defense was
extremely tough, they asked us a lot of questions trying to confuse
us. We manage to answer to most of them although not being
completely confident in the answers. We did a couple of mistakes.
The teachers asked us to go out of the room and they invited us
back in a couple of minutes. I forgot to mention that I prayed to
Jesus Christ to bless me and help me during the presentation. And
he did the presentation I gave was a way better than I could help
the only downside was the fact I spoke too fast and the teachers
couldn't grasp some of the words. Anyways back to where I was, The
teachers invited us in the room and announced us that we're really
lucky and that it is a pass, right on the line we scored 55 with 55
as a absolute minimum for a pass. 70 on the report which was quite
nice, 45 on the presentation and another 50 on the defense, which
in overall corresponds to 55 as I mentioned. HalleluJah! Glory to
the Father The Son and The Holy Spirit, now and tin the ages of
ages! I could see God's work in it. I also had that conviction one
of the previous days that we would pass right on the border line.
And HalleluYah! It came true!
Thanks to
God. Apart from this the late days God gives me a peaceful days
(not much to do for my work). Plamen a close friend of mine who
used to be like a father to me for quite some time before has came
to The Netherlands and is currently living at my dorm room. his
presence is a real blessing because he is nice and living with a
close one especially when this one is Christian is a real blessing.
He came from Spain because there is a lack of work in Spain, since
he needs to earn some money being in the Netherlands a way better
for him since he is not required to pay at least for the lodging.
Sali (A Bulgarian Gipsy) has helped in finding a job for him. We
found him a job but in Lumiere, the place where Ina worked as a
waitress the previous semester. Definitely Lumier ain't the best
place to be and there is a lot of work ... so let's hope that God
would think a beter and well paid job location for him. Now he has
to work for 10+ hours and they pay him only 20 Euro! They should be
ashamed ... Life is hard sayingg all that I should always Thank my
Lord for blessing me with the work I have and granting me the money
he does every month. Glory be Oh Lord of Hosts for being merciful
to me the sinner ! Glory to You Holy and Mighty in power! We
already started the new semester. This semester basicly we have the
following study modules: SHR (Strategic HR), IBP (International
Business Planning), IMM (International Marketing), we are also
adviced to follow the lectures from the previous semester since
Vinke decided to join the E and the G cluster, we have HRA2 and
Project Management as well. The previous semester I passed
everything except Business Ethics ( I think ain't sure yet ) and
HRA1. Me and Ina has to do it again the HRA1 again unfortunately. I
pray that the Lord helps me to pass this semester without failures
and helps me pass the ones I couldn't have this semester and to
keep sustaining me and care for me just like he did so far. I
forgot to mention in that post that the fact that Plamen (Papi) had
work now is again answer of a prayer I addressed to God. So Glory
be to The Eternal and Truthful and Merciful One God! This week we
have guest lecturers from Romania (Timisoara University) and Russia
(prof Bib and prof. Belkin). Today the day was quite nice through
God's mercy! Soon I'll be going to bed. Thanks for the countless
mercies Oh You Holy of Israel !
