Wisdom, Living a Holy Life, and Another Icy, Cold Day

So...I don't know how many times I'm gonna say this (probably on EVERY POST I WRITE) but

*~.GOD is AMAZING.~*

And, no, I'm not just saying that because I just found out classes are cancelled due to the awful icy sidewalks and roads outside (I still got work at 9am). I mean, He's amazing in the sense that He truly gives us what we ask for, if we have faith and are sincere about it.

So, last night was great. I went to a Bible study on Ephesians and learned how prayer is SO POWERFUL. I knew that, but it was great to be reminded of it, because when hard times come, I sometimes forget or leave it as the LAST THING I'LL EVER DO when it should be the FIRST thing I do. Afterwards, I worked out with my roommate and another girl on my hall. It was great to shoot some hoops with them and just begin to get my body back in shape again. 

And so, my night continued being the greatness that it was. I had awesome conversations with friends, near and far, and met some awesome people visiting to get interviewed for scholarships. 

But as I lay in bed last night, I realized that I had kind of pushed some of my priorities back. I didn't read my Bible last night, and I didn't finish all of my homework either. I began slipping back into my past, making poor decisions all because of my selfish desires. And I felt so ashamed. Hadn't I just wrote earlier today and told my friends how I was FINALLY getting my priorities straight, that I was putting my "BIG C" CALLING first and then all of my "little c" callings (student, friend/hall mate, etc.) second? 

I immediately began praying, asking God to give me wisdom to deal with my flesh's desires to stray from what I knew was right. I was so fearful that I would fall back into the same trap and end up where I had been a week ago: spiritually, emotionally,and physically drained. I didn't want that. Not again. Not when I was working so hard to recover.

This morning as I ate breakfast with my roommate, I read Proverbs 25, and then, as the suggestion of a friend, I began reading James and 1 Peter. Some James 1 really reflected what I was feeling...

*James 1:5-8*

5 But if any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He is generous to everyone and will give you wisdom without criticizing you.

6 But when you ask God, you must believe and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea, blown up and down by the wind. 

7-8 Such doubters are thinking two different things at the same time, and they cannot decide about anything they do. They should not think they will receive anything from the Lord.

Crazy, right? I had sincerely asked God for wisdom last night, believing that He would take care of me and my situations. And it says in James that "He is generous to everyone and will give you (well, me) wisdom without criticizing you (me)." So encouraging to know that the God of the universe cares about me like that!

1 Peter 1 explained to me how we as Christians are called to live a holy life. That is definitely what I was striving for, beginning with a fresh start this week. These verses completely just brought joy to my heart:

*1 Peter 1:18-22*

18 You know that in the past you were living in a worthless way, a way passed down from the people who lived before you. But you were saved from that useless life. You were bought, not with something that ruins like gold or silver,

19 but with the precious blood of Christ, who was like a pure and perfect lamb.

20 Christ was chosen before the world was made, but he was shown to the world in these last times for your sake.

21 Through Christ you believe in God, who raised Christ from the dead and gave him glory. So your faith and your hope are in God.

22 Now that your obedience to the truth has purified your souls, you can have true love for your Christian brothers and sisters. So love each other deeply with all your heart.

I cannot say how uplifting these verses were to me this morning!!! I was definitely living in a worthless way for these past few weeks, doing what I thought was right for me. But I wasn't glorifying God through anything that I was doing. Being reminded that I AM SAVED FROM THAT USELESS LIFE and that MY HOPE AND MY FAITH IS IN JESUS are such awesome thoughts!!! AAAAAANNNNDDD...it also says that my obedience to the truth has PURIFIED MY SOUL and I AM ABLE TO TRULY LOVE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST!!! That is SOOOOO what I long for!!!!! I just want to love my bros and sisses and also those who don't know Jesus!!!

Like I said...I'm learning something new every day. Spiritually, physically, and mentally. 

Today (and yesterday) I learned...

SPIRITUALLY: I'm learning that Jesus is my ultimate strength. He is here with me, no matter what I go through.

PHYSICALLY: Drink LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER after you work out. Okay, so I knew this, and I thought I did. But I stopped to talk to my RA for maybe fifteen minutes, stood up, and got SUPER light-headed. Not a great feeling. Also, don't eat chocolate birthday cake at 12:15am...it may taste yummy, but gosh, when you're in bed trying to get to sleep, it just SETTLES in your stomach and DOES NOT feel great.

MENTALLY: Hmm...just having a positive attitude in general. About school, friends, myself. Remembering that all I do is for God's glory. I guess this is also a spiritual thing...

But yeah. It's been a great day! Classes got cancelled just like they did last week (was it REALLY last week? Seems like it was a MONTH ago...), so my roomie and I took a 2-hour nap and had an awesome roommate party with coffee, a chocolate biscotti, oatmeal, tea, the Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Michael Buble, Parachute, and, of course, BLOGGING!!!

SO THANKFUL IT'S A 3-DAY WEEKEND!!! And also glad to share it with some scholarship-ers! :) They're so awesome to talk to and I pray that everything went well for them and that God would make His will for each of their lives clear to them.

Next? A rice party with one of my closest friends!!! Haha, what better way to spend a classless Friday than to stuff your face with white rice? #Blasianprobz

God bless y'all and y'all's weekend!!!! (^^) <3

Continually Being Broken, Shaped, and Changed

*SIGH* God just continually keeps breaking me, shaping me, and molding me every day to become more like Him. I'm not saying that it's easy, because it isn't. The breaking is painful; my soul aches, my heart breaks, and I feel like I can no longer stand. But He's been teaching me to humble myself daily and is showing me the great depths of His love and His grace in so many different ways.

Let me be honest: last night, I couldn't sleep as well as I could have. I continued to have dreams (probably correctly called nightmares) about what I had done and I could feel the shame even as I slept. This morning, I couldn't look at myself in the mirror without sighing deeply and being on the verge of tears. I stand there, ashamed of what I've done, feeling regrets about what I've done and wondering if what I did to fix everything was the right thing to do. The guilt overtakes my entire body, and I walk to where I need to go, but I feel like a zombie.

In some ways, I feel worse than I did before. Shouldn't I feel peace, closure, set free? Sure, I guess. But because I can't forgive myself, I feel like I'm in this endless pit of darkness and I can't get out. I totally don't deserve to be forgiven because what I did was wrong.

Above in italics is what I wrote this past Monday. True, I had just encountered some deep conflict (and God knows I HATE conflict!) and I had to admit to some things that I knew I shouldn't have done. 

Everything in my life was a mess. My priorities weren't straight at all; I wasn't reading my Bible anymore, I was constantly worrying about everyone and everything, I'd freak out over the smallest problems, I was hardly sleeping...the joy that I had at the beginning of the semester was barely there at all. And did I notice it? No. I kept on going, thinking everything was all right.

But you know, there comes a time where you just can't take it anymore. And you're friends have to tell you, "Enough is enough." Especially when you know you've done something wrong and you know if you say something that it'll create conflict. I wanted to avoid conflict...but I needed to be set free from what I'd done.

As I sat there, waiting to admit what I'd done, a good friend of mine said, "This is closure." And sure it was....closure with conflict. But conflict that needed to be dealt with head on.

And so, here I am, what, four days from that. And I feel so. much. BEEEETTTTTEEERRR!!!!!! \(^^)/

God has completely changed me in the past few days. I feel so much more JOY in my life. I'm sleeping more, eating better, managing my time better (well, not right now...I should be working on homework. Oops.) I'm just all around doing better than I normally have. And I actually have time for ME. I haven't had that in a long time.

Do I still feel some awful feelings sometimes? Sure. I'm a human, therefore, I mess up. And even though I'm a perfectionist and cringe at the thought of messing up, I mess up everyday and realize that I will ALWAYS mess up for the rest of my life.

But that's what makes God's redeeming love even more *~.AMAZING.~*

At the beginning of the year, I asked God to teach me something every day. Well, He sure is answering that prayer. Every day He is giving me wisdom and showing me how I'm still a broken vessel...but that in Him I am redeemed and loved and cared for. I am His, He is mine.

And something amazing happened.

Last night, what I'd just gone through was seriously just dwelling on my mind. So much that, even though I was in bed by midnight and exhausted from the day, I couldn't get to sleep. I couldn't close my eyes without thinking about the past situation that had happened. So, I sat there and prayed this prayer:

"God, You know my heart, my feelings, and my thoughts. I'm having trouble sleeping because of what's going through my mind right now. I feel like my emotions are overwhelming me. But I know that You're bigger than that. So, I pray that Your peace would just fill me up. Instead of my feelings overwhelming me, overwhelm me with Your peace and love. I leave my feelings and thoughts at Your feet. Because I know that I cannot deal with it alone."

And guess what? I woke up this morning, turned my phone on and was immediately reminded of how faithful God is. It was as if He were saying, "I'm here, daughter. I have everything under control." And I was so glad I had handed over my troubles and worries to Him. Because He truly cares about His children.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! 

SO. MUCH. *~.PEACE!!!!!!!.~* (^^)

Even though the lessons I'm learning are sometimes hard, I'm thankful that God is changing me to be more like Him. And if I have to go through more situations like the one I just encountered, I know it'll all be worth it.

So much love to y'all!!! <3 <3 <3 
The weekend's almost here!!! 
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say....

*~.REJOICE!!!!!!!!!! \(^^)/ .~*

Sleep? Who Needs Sleep When...

My eyes shot open and I sat up in my chair. To try to distract myself from my sleepiness, I looked down at my Bible then over at my friend who was artistically doodling notes on what the speaker was talking about. I listened as the speaker continued to talk about Deborah and Barak. His voice became a steady rhythm in my ears, like an odd sort of lullaby, and my eyes slowly closed for a few minutes, yet again. When I quickly opened them up again, I could feel my eyes ache slightly. My eyelids were as heavy as bricks, and I struggled throughout the rest of the "mini-sermon" I guess you could call it, to stay awake.

If I can stay awake during my freaking Intro to Lit and Concepts in Math classes, SURELY I can stay awake to hear God's Word, I thought. But despite my spirit's eagerness to be poured into, my flesh was completely weak.

Yeah, staying up until 3am when I had an 8am class this morning was probably not the smartest thing to do. But when you and your best friend from high school are already having a deep conversation about the day's events in your commons and you haven't talked to each other in FOREVER...well, it's kinda hard to avoid catching up on each other's lives.

My best friend and I are attending the same college. That's like every high school girl's dream, and God allowed it to happen. Of course, barely knowing anyone at the beginning of the year, we hung out mostly with each other, having dinner together and hanging out in each other's rooms to talk and eat and laugh. Then as the semester continued and she had her schedule and I had mine, we kind of became distanced. Every once in a while when I would come back onto the hall at 2am, I would see her and relay the events of my day and she would do the same. But we began hanging out with different people and doing different things.

I'm not saying that any of that is bad. I'm glad that we each have our own friends that we can hang out with. But once last semester ended, a part of me was worried that our relationship wouldn't be the same. Could we still laugh together about the small stupid things we used to? Could we still have those deep conversations that would sometimes end up in one or both of us in tears and hugging and praying for each other? Could we still sit in my room in the dark with nothing but the colorful glow of my iHome on and talk about life, love, and God; eat Poptarts and drink coffee and cocoa; and jam out to sappy love songs or weird hippie music as I blogged and she relaxed? (Okay, yeah, people think that last one is weird, but it's a total best friend thing.)

I prayed over Christmas break that God would allow me to rebuild the other relationships that I felt like sorta dropped. I didn't mean to drop them, but once I officially became a part of the CoonCult fam, I did realize how much I didn't hang out with the girls on my hall and with the people in other buildings I used to always hangout with on the weekends. And I have been doing better this semester, setting designated dinner dates for girls on my hall, the CoonCult fam, and my other friends.

But last night...oh my word, I cannot relate how much joy I had in my heart. Just hearing what God was doing in my best friend's life and telling her what He had been revealing to me as well made me feel on top of the world. We were finally seeing our prayers being answered and seeing the Spirit move in our lives and in the lives of our friends as well. 

Last night, I realized that I had been in this constant cycle of craziness, and that my situation was not the greatest. I didn't want it. I hated that it had even happened and that I allowed myself to fall into that game again and again without even realizing it until then. I told my best friend and asked her to pray for me. Because my flesh and spirit were tired of it all. All I wanted this semester was to build my relationships more, get better grades, and draw closer to God and focus solely on Him. Oh, and get more sleep (yeah, right. Who sleeps in college?) But this little struggle of mine was totally consuming my mind and my life. Even though I don't want to admit it, I revolved my thoughts around those things. I wasn't being patient and waiting for God's will. I was just picking up what I thought could potentially work and ran off with it without consulting God. And I was FED UP.

I just wanted my spirit to be filled with the joy God daily gives me and to be patient for His will, even though it's hard to rely on Him and not see what the end result is going to be. My best friend told me THE BEST ANALOGY EVER to help me with my situation.

She took a plane back home for Christmas break, and she said the experience there and back was not great. But, as she was in the plane, thousands of miles in the air, she looked down and could see the roads and cars below. She said that our lives are like those roads, only from the perspective we have, we're on the ground in one of those cars, only seeing slightly what is ahead of us. We cannot see the entire road, the big picture, aka what our futures will look like. But God is like that airplane, seeing all of the roads and where they will lead, even though we ourselves cannot see them.

I looked at her and said, "Can I quote you on my blog?" and we both laughed.

That was only one thing that God had revealed to us. There were so many other things: realizing what our true priorities are, seeing how there truly is power in prayer, wanting to grow in our relationship with Jesus and with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. The entire talk was magnificent. I wouldn't trade 10 hours of sleep for it!

I pray that the Holy Spirit continually corrects me, changes me, and gives me joy each and every day. For my life goal is to glorify God through my situations, whether good or bad. 

So I thank God...

...even if things in certain situations didn't pan out...

...for opening my eyes to my sinfulness and offering me His grace and truth and love...

...for allowing me to realize the beauty of everything around me, whether good or bad, because even bad things can be redeemed and changed into something beautiful (*cough* MY LIFE for example...).

And finally, I thank God...even if it HAS been rainy, foggy, and windy for like A WEEK STRAIGHT...

...because I heard it JUST MIGHT snow and sleet tomorrow, therefore, cancelling classes, meaning I could catch up on, not only homework, but, yes you guessed it... SLEEEEEEP!!!!!!!

Haha! Love y'all! <3 But God loves you MORE!!!! (^^)

This Weekend: A Lesson of BEAUTY and JOY

OH, the words BEAUTY and JOY.

BEAUTY: A word so many girls, including me, are still trying to figure out. Seriously, the world defines beauty as so many things: skinny, straight hair, wearing certain clothing, doing certain things to the body. It's so insanely crazy. And all the girls in the world are trying to catch up with the trends, trying to catch the eyes of everyone.

I will admit, this weekend was one of the roughest weekends for me spiritually. I was so tired out by school and I hadn't been reading my Bible as much as I used to. And I began to question my self-worth. Usually, I am NOT looking at myself in the mirror everyday and saying I'm hot, but I don't degrade myself that much either. I say my self-worth level is pretty even. 

But I soon began to question my self-worth and my beauty. Beauty came from within, I knew that. But still...when someone makes comments about your physical looks and they aren't totally bad but not good either...yeah, it still hurts. My friends reassured me that there was nothing wrong with me, and I knew it...but still...you can't help but question. 

I knew this was true: NO ONE was gonna make me change into someone else. I had played that game before and WAS NOT going to play ever again. It was exhausting and not worth it the time I put into it. 

*GREAT NEWS Y'ALL (yes, it has to do with what I'm writing about. This is NOT random!): the brother-in-Christ that was on my heart so much last week? FINALLY got to see him last night! \(^^)/ It was SUCH a good visit, and it was so nice to catch up on what was going on in his life and in mine. Prayers had been answered on both sides, and I told him of my self-worth struggles. He encouraged me SO SO SO MUCH, just like my other friends had, and I was reminded that, even if we don't see each other everyday, he still has my back and I have his no matter what.

This visit brings me to the next word: JOY.

Despite my beauty struggle, God had given me SO. MUCH. JOY.

1. The post before this one (well, I guess after this one because my latest posts come first, and then they the ones before come after...ANYWAYS!) pretty much told you how great my Friday night was. Our little CoonCult fam had an awesome time making food, taking pictures, laughing, and watching a movie. That time brought me so much joy that I felt as if schoolwork couldn't hold me down! SUCH a great time! :)
2. I had a great time with a girl from my hall. We went off the mountain to eat at an Asian restaurant and have ice cream, and we had some awesome conversations just about life. 
3. I had a great bro/sis date with another bro-in-Christ of mine and it was great to get to know him better and to just laugh with him and have a great time! (^^)
4. I got to watch Arrested Development with some of the CoonCult fam. (that show is hilarious)
5. I got to see my bro-in-Christ that left my school and catch up and give GREAT. BIG. BEAR HUGS. So awesome!!
6. Another girl on my hall and I talked for like 2 hours about life and where we stood this semester with certain things (school, dinner dates, hall events, etc.)
7. I was so ready to be poured into at church. I was genuinely ready to hear what God had to say to me. My heart was open. And I did learn some things!
8. I kinda got homework done. Yeah, still working on that... (^^') I actually should be doing homework now, but you know...taking a study break...again...haha...
9. Had an AWESOME WORSHIP JAM with the CoonCult fam. And it was raining so hard outside that some of them decided to play in the rain. Not me...I like to stay dry and un-muddy...but I bet it was fun! :)

But despite all of those joyous moments, Satan tried SO HARD to get me down. He continually tried to remind me of my beauty struggle and things came up in my life that completely broke my heart and tore me up inside. Tons of tears, hugs, and sharing of hearts. 

But Jesus knows everything that we struggle with and loves it when we come to Him and pour our hearts out to Him. He is always there for us, through joy and pain.

So, even though there were things this weekend that could have completely destroyed my joyful, positive attitude, in the end, I knew that worrying about it would do nothing to change the status of those situations. Relying on God...that's all I could do. And He continued to give me joy, even as I was reading for school (LOL that's how you KNOW it was JOY!)

OH MAN EVEN NOW...JOY, JOY, JOY!!!!!! And I'm studying Spanish 102, so it's definitely joy from God. For there is no joy in Spanish for me... :P

Hope everyone's weekend was as great or even better than mine! Have an awesome week! Be JOYFUL! Thank God for this week no matter what happens!!! (^^)

THE FAM!!! (JANUARY 2013)

AAAAAHHHHH!!!! I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW BLESSED I AM TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE! I DO NOT DESERVE SUCH AMAZING, TALENTED, SWEET, ENCOURAGING, HILARIOUS PEOPLE IN MY LIFE, AND YET GOD IS GRACIOUS AND LOVING ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO HAVE THEM AS FRIENDS!!! (^^) So JOYFUL!!! 

Good night (or rather, "Good morning!") sleep well! 

My Hope, My Strength, My Rock

YES. A NEW YEAR, A NEW SEMESTER...A NEW ME!

"I am finally back at Covenant and am ready to face the toughest of it all! No class is going to discourage me despite the amount of homework the professor assigns and no matter how difficult the assignments may be! No paper is going to tear at my English major-ness and make me fall apart! No Chartwells food is going to give me a pessimistic attitude! And 2AM bedtime is OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!..."

Yeah, see, this is what I WISH I felt right now. I mean, okay, I'll give myself a little credit:

...I kind of feel this way. There. Credit.

Haha, but seriously...

I really am ready for this semester. Sure, Concepts in Math is kinda scary (today's class was easy though!) and whenever I think of Spanish 102, my stomach starts to drop. And when I realize that I need to read for Old Testament EVERY DAY and I have a paper due in about a month that I need to start...it gets pretty overwhelming. 

Just last night my heart was completely heavy. And it wasn't just the homework that caused this. A close friend of mine--a brother-in-Christ--decided to not come back this semester, and God was just laying him on my heart so heavily that every time I thought about him I just had to stop doing my homework, stare off into space, and think about the memories we'd shared last semester and wonder why God would allow this to happen.

I tried to remember what my friend had said: that God placed people in our lives and took people out as we needed them. Even if he had not left this semester, he would eventually leave after 2 years because Covenant only offers pre-nursing. So he would have to transfer schools.

"Maybe," he had said one night, "when I leave, you won't need me anymore."

I wasn't so sure. I mean, I wasn't totally dependent on my friend; but he was one of those people that I could text: "I NEED A HUG." to and he would immediately ask where we could meet and when we did, he'd give me the biggest bear hug and just pray over me and encourage me.

I thought of the many times he'd encouraged me and I encouraged him and my heart hurt even more. God showed up so many times and opened our eyes to Who He is. He gave us so many hilarious memories as well. And now, my friend wouldn't be physically there all the time.

But, as always, God just continues to be my Hope and Strength in times like this.

Even before this, as I did my math homework, I couldn't help but feel the horrible feeling of stupidity creep into my mind. Yep. I felt stupid. Because I have always struggled in math and that day it was no different. But my Bible lay near my math book so I just grabbed it, threw it open, and looked for verses that had to deal with "strength." Because I knew I was completely weak, but in that weakness, God is strong.

Psalm 18 completely just BLEW ME AWAY. TOTALLY what I needed to hear from my Strength, my Hope, my Rock! Here are a couple of verses from it that immediately pierced my heart and overwhelmed me with peace:

1 I love you, Lord. You are my strength.

2 The Lord is my Rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my Rock. I can run to Him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender.

It just continues, saying how the "ropes of death wrapped around me" and how the Lord was truly angry that such things would even dare touch His Child. To be honest, I didn't even finish reading the chapter yet, but I will DEFINITELY be continuing when I am discouraged again!

Not only did God speak through Psalm 18, but He also spoke through Professor Ward during the first chapel on Wednesday. Now, usually I sleep during chapel. The first few weeks of last semester, I would nod off and TRY MY BEST to stay awake during the entire thing, but would always end up falling asleep and waking up as soon as the speaker said, "Let's pray..." to dismiss us. (^^')

But this time was different. This time, I stayed awake, and I am so glad God sustained my tired body through it! For Professor Ward spoke about the "dragons" in our lives that we fear, and how we don't have to because Jesus is bigger than all of our "dragons."

You BEST BELIEVE that I have "dragons"! Math, Spanish, fear of failure, and THIS ENTIRE SEMESTER to name a few...

But Jesus is SO MUCH BIGGER and WAY MORE POWERFUL than those "dragons" I fear. I believe in such an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, GRACIOUS GOD Who LOVES AND CARES FOR ME SOOOO DEEPLY. He cares about the little things and the BIG things that my life entails. And that is SUCH GREAT LOVE.

God has surrounded me with SO MANY PEOPLE that are just a blessing to me!!! "The fam." obviously (US. TRUST.) is such a HUGE BLESSING, but I have come to realize over the break and it has been proven to me even now how the girls on my hall have touched my life. We go through the same struggles and even if the struggles are different, we are there to pray for each other and to pour our heart out to each other and comfort each other.

And sure, I still miss my friend. Thankfully he'll be back on campus every once in a while so I'll still get to see him. But I do realize that God has given me more people to encourage me, even as my friend is absent. 

But I must always remember that God is my ULTIMATE COMFORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. And as I go through this semester with my ups and downs, He is with me always. He will never let me go.

And so I hold on tightly to Him as I walk through this journey of life. 

WORLD: BRING IT ON!

SO MUCH LOVE TO Y'ALL!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 (^^)
