all the words i use can never express or describe God's greatness. so the ones you are about to read will have to suffice.
I love having winter break and spring break. All these breaks not only provide rest, rejuvenation, and catching up with home friends, but i learn so much more about God and get to bring back what i've learned and share it.
The catching up with friends is probably my favorite though. I have been so blessed with friends who are still willing to talk to me even when i'm so bad at keeping in touch when i'm gone in Riverside. They are such blessings in my life that make me feel so special and encourage me so much!! I thoroughly enjoy catching up with them and seeing what God has been doing in their lives and how He has been using them at their schools or work or whatever else. it's great to have home friends. <3333
another aspect i am super grateful for is my church. i feel that no matter how long i am gone from my home church, they always welcome me back with open arms! i can't help but always feel hesitant before stepping back into my church grounds, not knowing what to expect. but from the moment i do, i do not regret it and appreciate the sight of faces&the environment i've missed!!
it's so refreshing coming back after returning from Riverside where i church hop like mad and have never found just one church that i can settle in for the past 4 years.
i thank God for FEC Glendale. <33
lastly, the other thing i am super grateful for is this past Winter quarter!! It has been one of THE most busiest, challenging, and chaotic quarters of my college career. Yet, i've shared in many blessings and grown because of it. But the part i am most thankful and joyous about is my grades!!!! i've never done so well before and it happened in WINTER quarter! how odd!! that's the quarter that is always the hardest to succeed. just shows how God can do the impossible as always :O) i really did work harder than usual in my academics and it paid off so i am very glad about that! it inspires me to work harder ahah. my downfall has always been balancing things [school, ministry, social life, etc].
it also helped that my classes were super interesting: Jewish Americans, Racism in Western Society, and Organized Crime. that made reading very intriguing and sometimes entertaining.
yay winter qtr 2011! <3
oh Lord, thank you once again for your mercies and love. i am humbled and amazed.
my next goal:
"Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness." Romans 6:13
i need to work on my laziness and slothness :Op
stay tuned for more God happenings!! :O]
