Who was I to think that I could oppose God?

Acts 11:17 So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?
From the reading in the book of Acts chapter 11, Peter was explaining about what he had done in Caesarea (Acts 10). In Caesarea, Peter and his brothers came to Cornelius' house and preached a number of people including some Gentiles. And while Peter preached, the people who heard Peter's preaching were baptized by the Holy Spirit. Some circumcised believers criticized Peter that Peter had gone to the house of uncircumcised men and ate together with them. Then Peter told them that God had given the Holy Spirit to the Gentiles as God had given the Holy Spirit to people who are filled with the Holy Spirit already!
Personally, Peter just gave us a great reflection. Sometimes we think that we are better than others. We think that others are not worthy enough for God to work in them, but our thoughts aren't true! We are all loved by God unconditionally. When the Holy Spirit comes unto someone, it means that God is working in that person that no one or anything can stop God's mission in the person.
Now, I would like to share about my not-so-long-ago condition which is quite personal and embarassing, of course, but I want to trade my shame for God's glory!
It all started with a little dream of a little girl (who happens to be me!). I don't know, since I was small, I've always wanted to continue my study in Singapore though it is just a super tiny country! Just about a year ago, mom asked me if I want to skip High School and jump to college. And I was "Yeah, of course! Why not!? I can skip at least my two exhausting years in High School!" And so, Mom, my little sister and I went to an education exhibition downtown. Before that, we prayed together in the car so that the Holy Spirit would lead us in choosing the suitable college for me. Then we found one which was really convincing, had cheaper fees (than any other colleges and universities) and had requirements were not too difficult.
Not long after that, I decided to take IELTS test in February. Unfortunately, I had a horrible dengue fever just about two or a week before the test. When I got better, I heard that my grandpa was horribly sick! Finally, I did the IELTS test in a rush! Because as soon as I have finished the test, I need to go to the airport, take an hour plane all by myself and visit my grandpa in hospital! Well, things ran quite fluent that time except for a 6 which was VERY lame! At first, I really want to get at least 6.5 or 7. But I've prayed and I got a 6 for IELTS. Maybe God just wants to stop me from being arrogant (I was one of the youngest candidates during the test).
Mom told her friend about my college thingie. SURPRISINGLY my mom's friend wanted her DAUGHTER to have the SAME program as mine in the college I'm heading!!! This is totally insane! To be honest, there are some cases in my life in which I DO NOT welcome company (like close friends or people I already know) and this college thing is ONE of the cases.
Actually, mom's friend's daughter didn't want to get to college, she just wanted to enjoy her High School life. However, her parents forced her to go to college, which meant forcing me to accept company!
Finally, she gave up on struggling for her High School life (WHHYYY!!!???) and prepared herself for IELTS. When mom knew this, mom indirectly ASKED me to teach her friend's daughter. Mom asked ME to tell this girl the tips on how to answer the questions.
Those moments were undeniably unpleasant. All I had in mind was like 'what a copycat ...'
Then, I realized something. If this is God's plan for this girl to continue her college with me, who am I to stop her? Which means stopping God!
I cried so much because of this (yeah, you might want to think I'm just a little too exaggeratting, but it really happened). The reason why I do not want her to go to college with me is that I'm just trying to avoid people comparing me with someone else. One thing that was unfair was that she could start her college earlier than me (if she wished to) because she is older than me! Hey! I was the one who found out this college thingie first, not you, sister!
So now, I'm just learning to let go things and let God work. I do not want to stop someone's dream and future only for my satisafaction. I want to learn how to share and not become selfish.
Mom's friend's daughter is currently preparing herself. Please pray for her. And pray for me too so that I can be more humble and not selfish.
Amen!
