Welcome to 2008
time passes by within the blink of an eye... it really does..
so it's January 16, 2008 and it's been over 2 months since my last post..which is so rare for me... lots of things have been going on since i last blogged.. well for 1, God brought me thru my undergrad and i'm not in my first term of masters... so that's a huge blessing right there... He's been watching faithfully over me during these past 5 years at UW...
i find myself back in waterloo... and even though i haven't completed the first 2 weeks of class, it's extrmeely noticeable how different masters is compared to undergrad.. i'm taking 4 courses with a total of 9 group projects this term... yesterday night 11pm marked the deadline of project 1, so 8 more to go..
it's been a struggle for me already to handle school and not get too stressed out... some things in this program really stretch me to my limits and forces me to focus on God to overcome my weaknesses... i know that God is in control and that my academic endeavours first and foremost are for God... to be a Christ ambassador.. to honour Him with my thoughts and actions... to do my best for His glory... and to relinquish control over my life to His will..
the past few days, i've had those "head feels heavy days"... it's been a long while since i last had those... and in the end... God takes it away... He reminds me of His promises and i learn more about His character... i admit my faults and try to change...
life is short... God can take it away at any time... am i not ready to accept it when loved ones die?
i must be obedient to the ministries He's called me to..and be humble enough to listen for His answer... and trust Him that when He says that everything's gonna be alright and He's got everything in control... that He will indeed...
God answers all prayer... He has the power to heal broken people, church politics, wrong decisions...
illogical? yes.. but things in this world cannot be all confined through the rules of logic...
newayz.. this is coooool!!!! -->
