Pre-Week 15 Post.

My my, it's week 15! Making this week the last week of classes for the semester! I find it unusual, that I'm so chill at the moment. Well, thinking about it.. I think it is due to, me taking my last midterm of the semester on Friday, and that I only have two finals left (where only one is cumulative). Definitely not on that panic mode, more on that sit back relax and let yourself go, don't sweat what you heard and act like you know mode. (Bonus points, if you know that reference) Despite my laid back attitude toward school, I am well aware about my personal worship toward God. I know that God has placed me in school for the sole purpose of glorifying Him and right now what I can do is, do my best in studying to the point where my motives are still pure and not corrupted by my selfish wants.

This past weekend went by quick! Ehh, too lazy to write, time for a list!

• Walked out after taking my pchem exam, knowing I did my best and praying for contentment.
• Setting up for the SBCAC's women's tea party.
• C&C bible study, followed by boba loca visit.
• Dresses, hats, pastries and Godly women at the tea party!
• Answered prayer for contentment with my exam score.
• Study night with the cousins and brother turned into Monopoly and in-n-out night.
• Sunday worship
• Starbucks study session
• Violin session.

Man, I am so blessed to be part of a local church that loves the Lord and His church, and understands that Scripture is the final authority. We are not a perfect church, we as sinners all have our personal struggles, but it is only by the Holy Spirit that we are able to overcome it and continue with our pursuit of holiness. (Woo, refrencing Sunday's sermon).

No idea on how I ended up there, but I'm gonna end this with a psalm:

I love the Lord, because He hears
My voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.
The cords of death encompassed me
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.
Then I called upon the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I beseech You, save my life!”

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
Yes, our God is compassionate.
The Lord preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.
Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
For You have rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
My feet from stumbling.
I shall walk before the Lord
In the land of the living.
I believed when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”
I said in my alarm,
“All men are liars.”

What shall I render to the Lord
For all His benefits toward me?
I shall lift up the cup of salvation
And call upon the name of the Lord.
I shall pay my vows to the Lord,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.
Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones.
O Lord, surely I am Your servant,
I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid,
You have loosed my bonds.
To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And call upon the name of the Lord.
I shall pay my vows to the Lord,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,
In the courts of the Lord’s house,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!

- Psalm 116
