I did very well in my Revit BIM courses at Humber College in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada. I got a 98% in the Introduction Course, 97% in the Intermediate Course and 100% in the Advanced Course. I am not out of the woods yet since I have to take the Autodesk Certification exam. To Jesus Christ be the glory. It is truly God's favour that has allowed me to score so high. Please continue to pray for me regarding preparations for the exam. Special thanks go to my notetakers: PS, SL and AW who helped me. And a special thanks to my professor, ZK, who showed mercy in the grading schemes.
I attended my new accepted student orientation today at Tyndale University College and Seminary in North York, Ontario, Canada. I got a chance to meet with faculty and students. It was a good time. I will be starting my Masters of Divinity studies in Spiritual Formation in 1 week. Please pray for God to prepare my heart, mind, body and soul for the experience. There is a retreat for one of my courses that is mandatory. I plan to pray and meditate on God's grace, mercy and provision.
I want to take a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Associate exam. It is important for me to take this in order to show my commitment to sustainability in the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) profession.
I am trying for the Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged essay writing competition. I am approaching it from the perspective of a Christian apologist witnessing to Objectivist/Atheist non-believers. I hope to do a good job but my initial draft is a bit disjointed. Please pray that I would have an over-riding cohesive vision and thesis for my paper.
I am also partnering with RG for the 2014 Evolo Skyscraper Design Competition.
My 4 projects are still ongoing. I have set them aside in the interim.
I have an audit to attend to. Please, please pray that I would have a favourable outcome.

Overcoming Discouragement
The recruiter did not reply to my email inquiry or telephone call for a follow up. Maybe I will just leave it be for the moment.
I also received a letter that I did not get selected for a scholarship. My friend did get selected so I am happy for him.
I am discouraged about being able to pay the tuition for seminary. I received the OSAP package in the mail to send supporting documents but it seemed really complicated.
I have yet to register for my seminary courses.
There is a BBQ tomorrow for accepted students at Tyndale seminary. I signed up but I have not gone to sleep yet.
I have been reading a book by Joel Osteen and watching his sermons online as well as sermons by his father, John Osteen, David Jeremiah and Charles Stanley. I even watched a bit of Joyce Meyer. I like all of them.
The old 70's sermon by John Osteen was about overcoming discouragement. He mentioned about a palm tree that was able to withstand a hurricane because it can be blown over and still remain rooted in the ground. When the wind stops blowing, the palm rights itself back to the vertical position again.
The bamboo is China's symbol of weathering adversity as well because it can bend with a force and not break.
How to be like a palm tree? How to be like a bamboo?
By attaching oneself like a branch to the vine which is Jesus and bearing much (spiritual) fruit.
Jesus pushed through his tribulations despite adversity and discouragement. He was betrayed, denied and falsely accused. However, he persevered. He was given his greatest test which was the cross and he passed it and was raised back to life from the dead by God.
If you are experiencing adversity and discouragement, root yourself in the Rock of Salvation which is Jesus Christ through faithful prayer and Bible reading. Talk with a pastor, Christian counsellor, elder or mentor and get wisdom about the situation you are in by gleaning from them.
God bless you and keep you.

Opportunity knocks
I handed in my Advanced Revit BIM course analytique assignment. It wasn't too bad doing it but it was time consuming. I will be worth a bonus 5% of the term's marks. I need all the help I can get because I messed up on the phasing part of the exam. I did OK on the design options though.
I have an interview on Friday with a recruiter for an interior architecture position. They require Revit.

Busy again
First,
I still have a cold.
My 3 Revit exams went well. I got a good mark in the intermediate course and my parents are going to spot me the cash to take the advanced Revit course.
I have 4 projects that I am working on in a freelance basis: 1 with a church plant, 1 for a Christian coffee shop and 2 cottages different clients.
I am on standby for X-Design Inc. The owner will contact me for piecemeal work. Still nothing yet.
Please pray that I get over this cold.
Thanks and God bless.

Reprieve
My parents (God bless them) helped me out with the car repairs. It looks brand, spanking new. The auto body mechanic did a good job.
Anyway, I also declared a major for the Masters of Divinity program: Counseling Clinical.
I hope and pray that I can straighten out my act (lol) so that I can be of service to others who are in crisis. My life seems to be going from one crisis to the next.
Anyway, pray that all will work out.
The job with the firm's interior design job is piecemeal so I will have to get another part-time job.
Please pray for me.
God bless.

An accident
I got into a car accident today. I glanced off the rear right side of another stopped car. Damaged her rear tail-light. No one was injured thankfully.
I always thought that listening to worship music and having a Jesus fish on my car would be like talismans for me avoiding accidents. I guess I should be thankful that it wasn't more serious.
Please pray for me and for the other driver.
God bless you and thank you.
