there is nothing i can do
than only stand amazed by You
immersing You with everyday
wrapped up in Your arms of grace
nothing more, You're all i need
i love that song. i really felt peace and assurance from that song, the first time in a week. i've been feeing so distracted this week, hmm... i guess to relate to sunday's sermon- i feel like i've lost God. i don't know what i'm doing and why i'm doing things half the time for GF and christian club. i've also been really anxious; i think i'm waiting for something from God, maybe change or some type of revelation.
ok i'm going to ramble about my day. yeah don't read this- it'll be really boring/not make sense, i just need to reflect. this morning i was suppose to go to the coffee mill with thalia and karoline and then we were going to decorate nadiah's locker for her birthday on sunday. last night, i slept at 10 and i woke up at 6.30 soo i pretty much got ready reallyy fast and tried to figure out how to wrap the straightener i bought for nadiah. i ended decorating a brown paper bag (she always makes fun of how i'm "environmentally conscious"). i didn't go to the coffee mill and i didn't decorate her locker, hopefully it'll work out on monday. i absolutely didn't do anything productive yesterday- i worked, ate, checked email, hable con victoria, and slept. i should've went to the college fair, but apparently no good schools are there. i think i'm being overly concerned about college- i've picked/found all the date for my sat's, sat's II's, and ap's, picked my schedule for next year, and have a list of schools i want to apply to (so far bc, bu, tufts, uc berkeley, usc). i've been thinking about christian schools and i decided i don't want to go to one- maybe b/c all my sibs went to one? maybe b/c it would be more challenging. i love boston, but part of me wants to go far away , where no one knows me and where the weather's nice. k back to my day, it was pretty easy- i did a lab in bio, watched wizard of oz in history, no lesson in stat, sub in english, and review and game in clase de espanol. my group/i cheated in the game and pretended i wrote hicieron right, i feel bad- it's was just one bonus point. after school, i went to christian club- it was a small group b/c we weren't even supposed to meet, but there was a bomb threat on wednesday afterschool so they didn't meet. we just prayed, i feel like we're mucho disorganized and that our club is very undiverse. beatrice was really encouraging as she reminded me how there's really a spiritual battle going on and that fasting and prayer's the only thing that's going to keep us going. afterschool, i checked email, napped, showered; i really should've done hw. i went to church w/ the mac's, i should have done stuff for gf, but i didn't feel like it/didn't have the motivation. small group was ok, but i didn't feel challenged. my group talks too much/has ADD and william was too nice to us. i def was distracted and didn't really open my heart to the lesson. and we're ridiculously messy. after i chilled w/ victoria and played a bit of guitar (i really want to play more and get better!) and i didn't meet with my accountability groups :( in general, i had a kinda crappy day- i didn't spend time w/ God, exercise, do work, eat healthy, or build people up. highlight- praying w/ alice. ahh i don't know how the gf thing is going to work- why didn't i think about how we're going to get all the things and get into church. i really wish there were people to help/care. i don't know i just feel like everything- my relationships (w/ God, family, friends), academics, health, work, budget, christian club, gf, lyf, counselor appreciation is just barely there- there's much needed improvement on my part. i don't why it's hard for me to give them to God and to stop relying on myself.
i realize that i always try to satisfy myself with things and relationship, but only God can. when will i learn ever learn this? why am i so weak? jesus, i really need more of you. thank you for taking me "as you find me all my fears and failures, fill my life again." God, i pray that i may have "a thirst for discipline and hunger for things that are deeper."
alright i'm going to do some hw, clean, and sleep. i hope the GF event happens and turns out ok.

wow, our group really is very ADD/talkative. i feel kinda bad for like being rude about rushing things but like i think everyone (including me) needed to calm down. and if everyone calmed down, we would have finished faster. you know? ah whatever. friday was a mess-- i agree. i hope your weekend is better though :)
hey liz cheung. i read your whole blog and i guess it was just really nice. and haha, i love how you throw in spanish everytime my name is around. it's like you care for me so much :) and yeah, i agree. our small group does have ADD. when mrs. mac was there we got quite a few things done, though. and yeah.. overflow's a nice song :)
i'll pray for you and i hope the outing goes lovely!
and you, my friend, also need to change the timezone settings.
liz i read everything and it was interesting and i really want to help you keep accountable about the stuff because i know what you mean like i feel like i'm waiting on God but at the same time i'm not seeking him but then it's like isn't God's gift free? so there's no need to like do anything...it's so confusing...i'm praying for you!
