There's no way you can get closer to the Lord if prayer and the reading of the word is nonexistent.
Okay, i must admit...i haven't been doing my quiet times as consistently as i want to. I want to blame it on school. But I don't want to make excuses for myself. God is my center, my world, my all. Why can't I spend time with Him like I spend time with my friends? where I get to know Him through one on one communication or through reading his divine journal. It seems to me that i've lost a sense of who I am in God. I have sense of urgency right now. As if I need to know God before something bad happens. If indeed my inkly is correct, I need to escape now.

greetings.
I'm updating in the library. I just finished the letter i'm required to write for my scholarship. It's due in 7 hours? (looks up at clock), yes. 7 hours. Now, i'm taking my break and giving you the full detail of what my life has been like in the last two weeks, since i've been lacking in informing you on the insignificant events of my mundane life. First off, i am sick. In elaboration from my last post, I found out I was sick when I was working on Calculus in the Library this past Sunday. I was periodically coughing while I was busy doing work so I decided to leave early (sorry Tram for not being there!). It got worse that night. But, slowly but surely, I'm recovering as the days go by. What else? Yes, I went to Las Vegas for my Thanksgiving Break. I know, I know. Not your traditional family get-together. But all that mattered to me was that I was able to spend time with Michael and my parents once again. Although I didn't spend much time with Andy or Daniel, I am grateful for the time we did spend together. As for Eric, I miss you very much and I do really honestly hope that I get to see you during this Christmas break. I also didn't get to see any of my homegirls. =( But delayed anticipation makes the reunion that much better. hehe. Okay, okay. Las Vegas was fun. I ate a lot. I ate a lot of Chinese food. We ate hot pot for two of the nights and had dim sum the last day we were there. I was hoping to catch up on some sleep, but that didn't happen because there was always something to do. I watched Mamma Mia and the "O" show at Bellagio. Shopped. and yeah. No big deal. Been there so many times that it's just the same old thing. Again, i want to reemphasize how I treasured my time with my family. Classes have been biting me in the behind. I thought I was ahead, but then I'm not. I thought i was getting the grades, but no, i'm not. There is this one class the frustrates the brains out of me. But I'm looking ahead and preparing for the worst. I'm definitely not looking forward to that final.
As for how am i doing? Well, I don't even know that for sure. I've been so caught up with my thoughts that I have forgotten if I'm happy or sad today. Perhaps, i'm just waiting for the prize at the end of the road.
Things to look forward to:
AFC potluck
One-on-One with Apphia =P
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Christmas
Family Time
Birthday
Having life slow down at home
Genuine alone time with God
the end.
