I've successfuly completed my first week of my 2B term...
it's amazing how many people have asked me this term in just over 4 short days if i was feeling lonely living in my big apartment all by myself... to the normal person, you would think so wouldn't you? but in my perspective, I actually feel pretty blessed to be living alone this term...
it really gives me a lot of time to study... haha..that's the first most noticeable observation that i've made since i got here... it's kinda funnie :) i can actually transform myself into becoming one of those hardcore accounting studie crazie freaks :D hahahaha.... yup yup... in one day, i read like over 150 pgs worth of readings over 4 courses.... it's so insane... if i were living with anyone, i definitley wouldn't be as productive... this is definitely a blessing from God.... this is by far the hardest term that i've encountered over my university life... in terms of balancing school work, reaching out to classmates, and ccf-related activities...
skool's gonna get really really tough after the first 3 weeks... b/c after that, there'll be at least 2 midterms and 1 test EACH WEEK till the end of classes in late july... crazie eh? hehe.. now the me during my 2A would have been totally freaking out by now...but this term, there's a sense of peace... overwhelming peace that transcends all understanding... there's no need for me to dwell upon things that normally woudlnt' have stressed me out...
apart from improved studying habits, i think by living alone, i really get a chance to discover who i am before God.... rediscover the joys of simply living in God's presence... there are so many things to be thankful for... so many things to praise Him for... so many characteristics of God being revealed to me...
operation andrew this term... hmmm... 4 ppl to pray for consistently... GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!! nehoos..in the topic of evangelism.... these are just some of my thoughts... since i've entered uni, GOd has really blessed me with many relationships w/ nonchristians accross campus... and for osme of them, He's given me the opporutnity to share with them about Christ, God, Love... but it's almost as if the people that I really felt GOd calling me to care for... i dun have a very close relationship with them now... and i understand how sometimes relationships do tend to fade... guess i jsut gotta trust that He'll bring other people into their lives... i jsut feel kinda bad for not being there for them anymore... at the same time, as old friendships start to fade, He blesses me with new ones... and HE gives me new passions to reach out to these new people... i jsut dun want the fire to ever fade cuz that's almost what it seems like... He is the only one who renews me...
