...it was just what i needed

Recently, God has brought me renewal.

Renewal of Body, Spirit, Mind, and Heart.

This weekend was what i needed, a little R&R. :O]

I had planned to take a trip to Norcal to surprise a friend for his baptism but it didn't work out [ride-wise]. i was SUPER bummed but later God proved to me once again his amazing plan for me. Because my plans for this weekend didn't work out, i basically had a free weekend and i used it to meet/catch up with people and get some hw done.

It was just what i needed.

Being able to spend some time with the roommates, sleep in, catch up with friends, organize ministry stuff, and get some hw done was a huge blessing!!

I feel ready again to start school now that 1st week is over [and being sick last week really made me feel so behind].
I also feel ready to tackle this year ministry wise :O)

I also have decided which church i am going to attend when i stay on the weekend in Riverside. The message today was very convicting and talked about loyalty in the story of Ruth and it was crazy cause the pastor acknowledged what i have been praying and talking about for awhile, he mentioned how we have to find a church and stick with it; be committed to your church.
It's true, i totally need to just PICK ONE and stick with it! so i figured Sandals is a good choice because i feel welcomed&into the family, i learn so much from his messages&always feel convicted, and even though the church is big i still find community within the aacf attendees :O]

God is good. here is one of the verses from today's message that i really like&want to apply to my life:

Psalm 51:10
"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
