Little snapshots of life

Almost done completing the first week of school…

I am going to try to write a post everyday, just to get myself writing again.

Let’s see how this goes (again.. hahaha)

I realized how lazy I was last year so I am going to try to motivate myself even more to do the things I need to do.

I finally declared my major (finally!) I finally moved and got it done. So I hope this semester I will be able to be fully motivated to study while hanging out with friends.

…that is all …

I think if I have to read another article about another philosopher, I’m going to go crazy (too bad that is what the class is based on..T_T)

Balancing classes, studying, and playing with friends is so hard x_x

Got back from SPC retreat on Monday! I had a blessed time and was able to figure out my calling from God. And it was amazing to be able to see someone who lives against the normal flow of NOVA and living out a genuine Christian life. There were many lessons that I learned:

1. God prepares our hearts for what He wants us to do, whether it takes 1 years or 10 years.

2. He WILL provide for our needs 

I am glad I was given the opportunity to go and gave a challenge for me in my own life. JESUS is my strength and provider.

But it is so hard to keep that in mind throughout life. Especially when I thought everything was going great…I find it hard to comprehend why this had to happen. I know God puts us through challenges in order to help us to grow and become closer. But i cannot help but feel frustrated because of this situation that I wished had not happened. Why now, when it was almost perfect. So frustrating and I just wish I did not have to deal with this right now, especially with school starting in 2 weeks. This is just another ANNOYING thing that just had to happen. :/

I can’t believe I am almost done with freshman year of college. It went by way to fast. This is really weird - I feel as though I just moved in yesterday. But through this year I have learned more about myself and grew in my walk with God.

Strength is what I need to carry through my finals - strength to know that God is always with me, wisdom to do well in my finals. All of my studying is NOT for myself but is to PRAISE GOD. This is what I need to remember - to GLORIFY God through my studies because I am BELOVED and LOVED by God. 

This year has been an encouragement because of all the people I was able to meet. Meeting all kinds of brothers and sisters helped me grow in Christ - I LOVE ALL OF YOU! (ICFAMILY <3)

Goals for next semester:
1. Grow more in my walk with God
2. Fellowship with my ICF family
3. Get to know the new freshmen class coming up
4. And yet GET CLOSER with my class
5. To never stop loving and trusting HIM because he REDEEMED me and brought me into new life

A little bit of fun - I hope this doesn’t happen to me but I know it will.

So, had a snow day today and it was so much!

Yesterday was so much fun though! Played in the snow, had a snow ball fight, last night snacks, and watched “She’s the man.”

But right now it is really really boring. There is nothing to do…I have just been sitting around in my room, eating, chilling with other people in their dorms, and watching t.v. 

I am glad, though, to see so much snow. That makes me really really happy~ 

Except being stuck on campus. o  m  g …

It is really entertaining to see all of the snowmen and snow piles around campus.

2. about

3. all

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! There are so many things I have done that I wish I had never done. Most of them are really stupid and lame but I learned more about myself through those experiences, even though they were really stupid and I regret doing them now. I would need more than 5 sentences in order to tell them.

This is deleted because I did not save it and my computer turned off by itself yesterday T___T

1. How beautiful everything is outside because it is God’s creation. 

2. Piano and music.

3. FOOD

4. Will I sleep before 12am (midnight) today?

5. Homework and studying - -;;

6. What am I going to do with my life?

7. How I want to hit my mailbox because it won’t open whenever I try opening it.
