I'll be back

I almost forgot I had a blog lol Wait... no I still have one haha

There are many things I want to talk about, but haven't collected my thoughts yet. But to make sure I'll actually post (soon... I hope) I'm just going to make a list first :D

1) Year in Review for 2011

2) Therapeutic Recreation Awareness Week

3) "Let's talk about sex" sermon I heard

Quick updates

Luckily I got to leave work early today :D(flexing time b/c I'll need to work overtime next week ==") I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I don't have anything big planned, but I do plan on making some Christmas cards tomorrow. Bought some craft supplies during the week... hahaha it was such a struggle stopping myself from making anything during the week.

Hopefully nothing will distract me from my plans. And hopefully the cards won't turn out ugly LOL

Anyways, a Psalm I would like to share:

Keep me safe, O God,

for in you I take refuge.

I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;

apart from you I have no good thing."

..........

I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;

even at night my heart instructs me.

I have set the LORD always before me.

Because he is at my right hand,

I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;

my body also will rest secure,

because you will not abandon me to the grave,

nor will you let your Holy One see decay.

You have made known to me the path of life;

you will fill me with joy in your presence,

with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalm 16

It's such a frustrating and painful process to go through when God transforms you. I want to and is trying but my natural sinful desire wrestles me to the ground. It is so so hard to do. But my God is an all powerful God who makes the impossible possible. There is so much comfort just knowing who He is even when I fail Him. Again, He is not done with me and He is not done with you!

Fall Challenge: Day 28

.......slacked off.... hehe

For the past few days, I'm thankful for:

The hope that God's work will be complete in me despite my many failures and imperfections.

"...But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me... For when I am weak, then I am strong." - 2 Corinthians 12:9- 10

Fall Challenge: Day 24

Today I am thankful for...

1) The work God started and that He will complete His work

2) I have a God who hears me when I call

:)

Fall Challenge: Day 22

This challenge can get difficult on some days... on days when your patience wears thin and things just pile up at work. Or when clients just don't get it, is being rude, co-workers just being themselves.

Truly loving people is so hard. Sometimes I just want to quit everything (not just talking about work here) and run away to the East Coast or something. Selfish. Hmmm but how to be selfless even in the most tiring, challenging, and while in a constant internal battle?

"Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Let you gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -- Philippians 4:4-8

Prayer.

Today I am thankful for the unbreakable promises of the almighty God!

Fall Challenge: Day 19

Today I am thankful for...

1) I can finish my gerontology option with just 1 more course instead of 2 the coming winter term :) I knew I didn't have to worry and that God would sort things out. But I still chose to freak out for a few weeks and subconsciously for a few months.... But thank God for answering my prayers!

2) A night of fellowship through sharing and prayer in the name of Christ.

**My God is so great! So strong and so mighty there's nothing my God cannot do!**

Fall Challenge: Day 17

Today I am thankful for...

1) Friends like JL who goes an extra mile to help me out all the time. Makes me think harder about how I can serve other people and how little I gave myself up to serve in the past. Thank-you!
