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 !
