The Bible is so difficult to study!! There are some stuff that I read that I can't seem to understand with my own knowledge. I'm not sure how to search for further explanations for the passages 'cuz I don't even know if the explanation is right. Haiz...
Prayer: I ask for wisdom to understand Your wisdom and Your will.

End of Fall Term
On a personal level I believe that I have learned that I have a lot of bad habits. They include, not cleaning up after myself, better time management and studying earlier than the day before. Studying for my Biology exam was pretty brutal, I stuffed 3 modules into my brain in under 3 days. However, I don't think that I got all the information in my head in the end. The exam was pretty bad...I'm not sure if I passed or failed. Hopefully I did better than pass ><"
Spiritually, I have learned to pray pray PRAY because the power of prayer is truely powerful. It is important to pray continually all the time. Pray when you're glad or sad. I have also learned to truely put JESUS first. It is so hard to think of Jesus first 'cuz we live in a secular world. It is so much easier to think of going to your friends first before going to GOD. It is much easier to talk to your friends than to talk to GOD about your problems. It is much easier to go to your friends first before GOD when something happy happens. Everything comes from GOD so we should go to GOD first. He has given us all our happy experiences and he has giveen us trials. He understands us most so we should thank GOD or ask Him for help first.
Secondly, I learned to praise God all the time. Sometimes we forget to think about how He has created everything. He is almighty and sovereign. Everything that seems to be unpleasant and not of His will will lead to His will. He has made us all connected through Christ.
Thirdly I learned that when my heart is not with GOD I cannot concentrate in prayer or reading the Bible. During this term, there was a period of time where I was not one with GOD. There was something that I thought about more. I feel bad for the brothers and sisters who prayed with me because sometimes I wasn't listening to their prayers and their prayer requests. I couldn't concentrate. I'm sorry my brothers and sisters. Please forgive me.
Fourthly I learned that I should always repent and ask for forgiveness. Always humble yourself to GOD and tell Him what you've done wrong against Him. Only when you realize what you've done wrong can GOD repair you. Always persevere, don't doubt.
Thank you LORD for such an awesome term!

Msn Msgr Chat
I'm talking to a Catholic friend right now. He isn't really dedicated to his religon but I hope that God will work through me to tell him the gospel. We're kinda exchanging our beliefs right now.
Prayer:
I pray that God you could show Your LOVE through me to tell my friend and Your child about Your LOVE and Your Good News and Your Mercy and Your Grace. Send Your Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Challenge
I'm asking God to challenge me on what I have learned to lay down at His feet this Fall Term in 1st year. Winter Term will be difficult...I know it...I put myself in the challenge already. Lord I want to put YOU FIRST!
Prayer:
Lord I pray that I will learn to put YOU first in my life. Lord I pray that I will learn to go to YOU first when I am troubled. Lord I pray that I will have YOU occupied in my house so that the demon who was in me will not be able to come back and occupy my place with his companions. Lord I pray that I will not be ashamed of my faith in YOU. Lord I pray that I will not be ashamed of my sin and I will share my burdens with my siblings in Christ. Lord I pray that I will LOVE YOU even when temptation comes. Be my Number 1!

I haven't posted on this blog for a really REALLY long time...and even on my other blog I failed to keep my promise of keeping up to date on my spiritual growth and what is happening around and how God has been shaping my life.
I went back to SCommAC today for Baptisms (haha although it is still exam week) There were a lot of people getting baptised today. Most of the people were old people (aka not University or High School) which is pretty amazing because usually I see the young get baptised. When I saw that these "old" people were getting baptised, I see that even God works through the old and makes them spiritually more mature and stronger. I always thought that after University, your spiritual growth and desire would slowly decrease. I really hope that doesn't happen with me.
The one topic I really got out of the sermon Pastor Tim taught today was "in our second life, God shapes us. We don't shape ourselves to have a second life". I acknowledge that it is the Holy Spirit that compells us to accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour but I never thought about how God chose us to be shaped. This really shows how sovereign God really is and that he could choose who can be saved and who will not.
Congrats for those who got baptised today!
My sister, was going through a psychological disorder and I didn't even know. I feel ashamed. I talked to her every week. Atleast she is better now since God showed her how HE loved her. I pray that she won't forget that God loves her most and she will always go to God first before others and herself.
Praise Him for He has done great things
