BLESSED BLESSED BLESSED TO BE IN FINALS WEEK
Praise report: Finals week is halfway done! At least for me…I’ve been so stressed in all my studies…that the moment they are over, I feel like crying, letting my emotions get the best of me. All the way up to each final I’ve taken (I’ve taken 3 so far), I’ve been great…a little stressed but definitely knowing that I had no time for anything else but study study study…and of course reading for encouragement…which without I would be a lot more stressed. Today, I finished my econ final, the last final I had great concern in, but after it was not all fun and games. I’ve been so physically and emotionally drained from all my study that when something little came up, I started to get anxious, very anxious…especially at Jared because he’s the only person I feel comfortable enough to let see this side of me….but praise God, he has been so good to me…after reading halfway through Joshua lately, I’ve seen how much power he has! and then today, I looked up a daily bible verse and this is what I got:
Psalm 42 Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
God is so amazing and really speaks to you when you are in need. After reading it, I was so encouraged…and asked myself why is my soul in turmoil? I will and forevermore praise you and put my hope in you.
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.Psalm 42:11
“ The brown bag, of course, had its imperfections. While some kids carried roast beef sandwiches, others had peanut butter. I have no way of knowing if all of those brown bags contained ‘nutritionally adequate diets.’ But I do know that those brown bags and those lunch pails symbolized parental love and responsibility.

Man I love San Diego people. I love how they are sooo down to just do crazy stuff like make costumes and stuff. Anyway here’s a picture of Delia, Jared, and Jackie (not SD but whatevs) making our costumes of the lost boys in peter pan:
And here’s us!
I’ll post up the final outcome soon!

“God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.”
- Soren Kierkegaard
I often post about my faults for the mere understanding that I need to be more humble. I love the visual of my life as a stone block and God chipping away at the useless things. But me struggling to let it go along the whole process. But recently, I’ve been getting better at just letting things go. Patience is what we all need. Think twice about each action. Hold your tongue. Speak only what you can accomplish. Listen before you speak. If I could, I would sew my mouth shut, but then I wouldn’t be able to eat and therefore would die. Not to mention, i’d probably scare myself everytime I looked in a mirror.
On another note..
My mom told me the recipe of success. She told me that it’s just two things. Hard work and Patience. You work hard as much as you can and your patience allows you to stay consistent. When the opportunity arises, your hard work will have prepared you to take it and execute your plans. She told me that although my future is in the hands of God, that doesn’t mean it’s time for me to laze around and waiting for an opportunity to fall from heaven.
