God is good all the time...

Today--no, this week was pretty incredible and I just realized I rarely use that word "incredible." God has been so good and he always has and forever will be. Earlier this week (Sunday to be exact) I got the flu and I thank the Lord it wasn't the swine flu. As a vocal performance major, it's a no-no to get sick because I really really need my voice. One thing lead to another and I ended up missing school for 2 days. When I thought it would be way more, God just removed the sickness and healed me as I was staying home yesterday (Wednesday) being lazy and not doing homework. I was able to get a lot of sleep which really helped the healing process, BUT I didn't use the free time to my advantage. I seem to always let something slip and it becomes this huge domino effect. I learned my lesson today and that is not to procrastinate on my reading and studying for tests. I thought this Sociology exam was going to kill me. Before I actually entered the classroom early, I prayed to God that He'd be with me and help me recollect everything that I just study crammed for. I wanted to rely on Him. God really answered my prayer (even though it wasn't exactly what I asked) and I was able to take that test to the best that I can with God's strength. Because before I even started my day, I thought I was going to fail it, but I kept trying and pushing and did what I can to utilize the little free time I had in the morning. Praise the Lord everything worked out.

I'm so blessed. Today feels like a friday and I'm not even tired. Because after that test, I got so excited to do a cover song with the awesomest most talented guys ever. Honestly, they're more talented than I. That's why I didn't mind singing back-up. As long as I had the opportunity to sing with them, it's worth it. Someone had to plan all this out anyway... haha I wonder who that was :] I hope to one day share my love for God the same way I share with them my love for music. I've always wanted to able to go deep into discussion about faith and love for God with fellow believers. With the people I've known before APU. Because if I love God soooo much why not share it with the people you care about? I have the opportunities this year and I hope to take that opportunity this year. God-willing.

Which brings me to tonight. Thursday nights are my Alpha group meetings (the only time we can meet outside of class). And I really made an effort to get out of the house and fellowship with my group. And tonight I felt like we were more ourselves than last week. Being able to know more about each other individually was just eye-opening to me. I was a lot more talkative too. I was even surprised with myself. I'm really looking forward to our future meetings because I still have a lot to say :] or ask my alpha leader about.

I thank God for his blessings. His love. His mercy and grace. His unfailing love. did i mention love? As I was sitting in Eli's apartment, someone brought up the fact that there are christians who worship God and feel that that's the only time you feel like you're a christian... I can't remember what were his exact words but I hope I make sense. He said that worship should be a lifestyle and not just on Sundays are you christian. And it made me do a little reflection. Because I raise my hands and sing sing sing and sometimes dance... but what about the times when you're not singing and in a room full of people. do you still worship when you're on your way to class? and worship is not only the singing and dancing and playing of instruments, it's a way of life. I can go on and on about this because it really hit me when I first heard this guy talk about it. But I'll just leave it at that...

Wow, I have a good feeling about Friday now.

God is amazing

ok my eyes are getting tired.

until next blog :]
