Lately

 My life lately in 6.

1. I'm reading through Psalms in the mornings.
2. One of the few running routes I've encountered.
3. The NBA has been fixed on my TV these past couple of months.Whether it's games, highlights, standings, all star news, injuries, trades, and even the possible move of the Kings. Got it on lock. #lakersplayoffpush
4. I've always liked dri-fit material, but now more than ever. You can even ask Grace.
5. Pchem, 'nough said.
6. The oranges are back! After 3 years or so, volume 2.

I ask that you can pray for me to continue to deny myself and pursue Christ.
Grace and peace.

It doesn't take a miracle to see God working in your life.

After admitting that I have become lazy, the Lord has used this past week to discipline me to fight my laziness. He's given me a crazy week with plenty of things to do, and I have definitely been more productive this week than the recent weeks. Hebrews 12 comes to mind.

It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

- Hebrews 12:7-10.

2012 Recap.

2012

• Experienced my disciplines been really good and really bad.
• Learned to increase my trust in God more.
• Realized how much my dependence on God actually was.
• Spent more time with my cousins, after not hanging out with them as much the previous years.
• God humbled me in school.
• Started discipleship.
• Last Resolved ever.
• Grew more interest in cooking.
• Staying up late, later than usual.

• Became more content.
• A biblical look on money.
• Joined a research lab.

5:20 PM is an usual time for me to blog, but I've been lagging on posting this recap for a few days. I can't really remember much from this past year, but I do know I went through ups and downs, and I can only give the Lord the credit for allowing me to recover from those certain situations.  I pray that this year I can be less selfish and use my time for God, and not for myself.

Feelings of Emotion.

Explaining emotion is a difficult thing to do, I've noticed when I'm in a conversation and I end up trying to explain my feeling towards something, I usually end up saying, "it's like, ahhhh!" or, "it's like ughhhh", or "it's like oh my gaaaash" and such... I'm pretty horrible at that...I feel bad for the people who hear me talk about what's happening in my life, one being my discipler (whose birthday happens to be today. Happy birthday Mariel!) and other sisters that I share things with. However, I love the very common, "I know how you feel", makes me feel a little less weird, and more average.

Currently, I have a plethora of emotions in my mind for various things going on and it is causing my mind to be all over the place. I have feelings of guilt, discourage, hunger, disappointment, cautious, motivation, and joy all over the place. I probably have more, I just can't explain it in words hahaha.I'm glad to know that all these feelings are based off my understanding of Scripture. ie: I am able to feel guilty because I am aware that I committed sin and have disobeyed God or I am able to feel joyful since my sins have been forgiven by the shed blood of Christ and joy because of my love for the Church! Also loving the Church in a way that causes you to have these feelings towards other brothers and sisters in-Christ makes you want to know more Scripture for the purpose of edification and building up the Church. In the end I just want to give God the glory for sanctifying me and continually molding me onto the image of His Son and for the renewing of my mind, thus my emotions derived from Scripture.

Late night blogging #7

It's so weird, how at around 11 I feel like it's super late already. I sleep early this semester and I have late morning classes... but I don't take naps anymore. Well, I do sometimes but not every day like I would the past semesters. I would normally sleep around 1AM and have class at 8, then nap away once I get home. Bleh. who cares about my sleeping pattern.

So I found a new study spot today, I'm pretty sure I'll be going there often now, since I'm tired of paying to study, or going all the way on campus to study, or smelling like coffee from studying. Taking advantage of the city's public libraries. A huge amount of hours today was spent on studying for my pchem exam on Friday, man I'm so scared for this exam. I never do good on chem exams, well no one does, but I'm planning on changing that for pchem. Praise the Lord I was able to finish chapter 2 today, one more chapter to go! Mr.James Prescott Joule and Mr. William Thomson thanks for all your discoveries that prolonged my review on chapter 2 til 1 AM.

This blog is sooo pointless, from now on if you see a late night blog, I would advise you to just skip over it, unless you for some reason would want an insight into my mind at this time of the day.

1. I miss lab work, paitently waiting for our materials to come.
2. Gotta get this coupling done, so we can make crystals!
3. "The Holy Spirit is our only sufficiency for the work of mortification. All ways and means apart from Him have no true effect. He is the only power behind it, and He works in us as He pleases." -John Owen. This, today, amen.
4. I should be sleeping now, my eyes are starting to feel it.
5. I seriously thought about deleting this post before I started this list, but that would mean I stayed up writing it for nothing.

Goodnight!
