When You Call on Jesus, All Things Are Possible!

So, 2 weeks before finals I started studying for the big bio test. Haven't stopped since! Chem is 10:30am on Monday, haven't started for that even. Was SUPER disappointed yesterday when I didn't get to participate in Christmas Extravaganza (a day where the halls decorate their doorways with a Christmas theme). Of course Doc Deer Slayer decided to have a review session for the final that day. Well, to be fair, the review sessions are always at that time. But still. I couldn't skip just this one night!!! Urgh.

I saw this really funny quote from a friend today..

In this life you need to remember one thing: God is not a Burger King, He is the King of Kings. You can't always have it your way.

So yeah, I have a TON to catch up on, God has been teaching me a lot these last days. I haven't even been spending that much time talking to him, but in the midst of my alone time studying and going to chapel (though I need not, I have gone several more times than I have to) and just talking to my incredibly encouraging God-fearing friends, I have discovered some common themes. 

1. Do not be comfortable with life the way it is. 

2. Do not ignore God's call. 

3. Heh, my theme song/motto of life...Don't just go through the motions! 

4. Your worth comes from God, not from grades or friends. 

5. You can be busy and not stressed.

6. You need to just step out in faith, God shall bring the rest! The Holy Spirit shall give you the words to say, trust in Him alone. You didn't think you were the one who was doing all these good things right, did you?!

...And similar things like that. Be courageous my friends, we shall make it through this stressful time! No, our professors do not want to kill us. . . they really want to make sure we are learning everything. Go ask 'em questions, they can help. :)

1 John 2:28-29 - And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him. 

Better - Because of God

So I am not as quite depressed as yesterday. A good 9 hours of sleep probably helped with that. I did end up studying all day today though! Well, after chem got done at 3 that is. Was able to review notes with a couple fellow ladies from class, so that was awesome cause then I actually understood Doc Crane's confusing way of teaching. Urgh. So I am feeling better about being able to figure out this homework.

You know, it is amazing how encouraging friends can be when they do not even know what is going on in your life. :) Like, after reviewing notes I was more cheerful. After dinner today I was more cheerful, and after Bible study as well. Even though my study plans with TeeHee didn't work out, I gots to talk with my bestie hall mate and that was fun. God is really pretty good about pestering you to remind you that it is NOT all about you. It is all about Him. Sometimes the best pick-me-up from depression is praying for another person in need. Weird at first, since you don't know what to say. Yet, you can relate to them more in your frusteration and somehow it turns into a more sincere prayer. I dunno...

So still wondering what to do about job and church and scholarships. Need to take time to figure that all out tomorrow. Not able to meet with my tutor, so I shall have more time to sleep in and study tomorrow before chem lab at 3pm. SIGH. But I promised Italy that I should go to bed before it is too late (2am) and it just turned 2 now. So I supposed I should go...heh.

I miss being able to read the Bible and actually comprehend it. This has been bothering me a lot lately. All this OT reading has just been going in one ear and out the other! I am not sure any of the material is even relevant to my life, cause I seriously don't get it. :\ Like, at all. It just makes me frusterated to read the Bible (even with my own devos!) cause I just am not understanding it right now. This is not a good thing atal. Not atal. Hmm. Me need a lot more prayer about this for sure.

But ok, I shall bid thee farewell...You know, I really wish I was good at poetry. I just read 3 super good ones written by friends, and my adviser invited me to a poetry meeting thing that was last night, and I actually forgot about it. :\ But I wanted to go! Just dunno what I would do since I don't really write poetry. Hmm. Such a broad genre that a lot of stuff could fit into though. I guess. Me no know. It is sleepy time, k, goodnight my friends!

Oh, Italy mentioned that Violent and Silent rhyme. Me thinks she needs to make a poem from that. Sounds cool, and could involve secret ninjas. hehe. ;)
