I apologize for the fact that I haven't been blogging.
The only thing I want to do right now is to plop on my bed and to go into a deep sleep.
I'll do that after class...
Well, a short one hour nap before leaving for dinner with my uncle and family.
Bye!

Genesis 15:6
Although Abram had been demonstrating his faith through his actions, it was his belief in the Lord, not his actions, that made Abram right with God. We, too, can have a right relationship with God by trusting him. Our outward actions-church attendance, prayer, good deeds-will not by themselves make us right with God. A right relationship is based on faith--the heartfelt inner confidence that God is who he says he is and does what he says he will do. Right actions will follow naturally as by-products.

looking outside the car window on the way back to the city of angels from sin city, made my mind go to a grueling amount of work, i think i had a million and one thoughts come and go during those 2h30mins to 3h time that i was sitting at the passenger seat in front.
things that happened in 2010 came flashing in my mind and i felt mixed emotions, like any one of you would.
you might be so ecstatic that somethings happened, but you always have a downside in your year that would make you sad.
but all of that aside, i told myself not to ponder about all of those things anymore.
because that was in the past. and i know that God have a greater year, a greater 2011, filled with plans and obstacles for me to overcome.
i place my life in His hands because i know that He will give nothing but the best for me.
He is our awesome and mighty God, He is our personal savior, He gave His life up for us.
He is just so majestic and worthy of our love, praise and everything.
thank you, God, for giving up Your one and only Son to make us sinless, Jesus died on that cross for the people that He hadn't seen.
Jesus died on that cross because it was Your plan for Him to.
We are sinless because of You, and I just want to thank you with all of my heart and all.
You are so wonderful, great, and just amazing, God.
thank you God, I love you.
placing God in the center of my everything.
truth to be told, i used to have my devotion time all messed up.
on and off, on and off again.
but that changed since i came back from vegas after celebrating new years.
i told my friend that, usually my new year resolution would be a long list of super unimportant things like:
losing weight, being this and that, to be more this and that, and stuff like that.
but this year, that no longer exists.
i'm proud to say that i've changed.
because i've changed for the better.
but i'm still in the process of changing to be a better person.
i'm not a totally different person from before, but i'm definitely not the same person.
this year, my one and only new year resolution is:
to have a closer and intimate relationship with God.
i read somewhere in my stack of books that by wanting to achieve that, you need to:
worship Him, praise Him, pray to Him, and just to read His Word.
it is not about you going to church regularly, and to sing along with the band.
it is not about you raising your hands while singing.
reading The Bible is what matters most.
it is something dearly to God.
without Him, i wouldn't be able to go through my resolution this year.
and i am having a wonderful start.
for example, last night.
i entered my bedroom at 230am.
and told myself that i've to sleep by 3am because i've lunch tomorrow and that it's really late.
so, i placed my phone aside, and started reading my daily devotional books - where you have a page of devotions daily, so it's a short one (3 of them), and a worship book, and of course, The Bible.
i started reading and i couldn't stop.
even though i wanted to just stop and sleep.
unaware of the time, i finally stopped and looked at my clock.
it was almost 330am.
yes, an hour is not long enough to read His Word.
but i believe that the duration that i spend reading will get longer each day.
i really love reading my stack of books.
it is something that i told myself that i should have started doing it as a habit long ago.
well, better late than never?
think about it.
is it your time to start too?
