hey guys! i just finished my last midterm ..and i'm sooo happy reading week is here. time to relax and spend time doing things you ACTUALLY want to do.. woot!

i was planning to share something with you guys.. but now i totally forget what it is. i guess i'll respond to jeff's post. even tho it's been posted for awhile. haha sorry i'm slow.

jeff: i used to be sooo like you! and i still sort of am. not talking much.. likes to listen to others talk more. but i've learned throughout my years here.. if you don't step out in faith and share what the Lord has given you.. you are missing out on blessings others AND blessings for yourself. and about what you said about maybe the wrong questions are being asked.. i admit that i've been guilty of giving ppl dumb answers like "good" after they ask me "how was your week?". i guess it depends on the context of where i am and who i'm talking to if i'll be willing to open up more. but you know what.. i've also learned that sometimes.. you don't have to wait for ppl to ASK you.. you should just TELL THEM! God will give you opportunities.. and it's up to you if you're willing to be obedient and take them.

HEY i remember what i was gonna share with you guys now! it's something doreen shared with me the other day.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. 8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

i guess it's for ppl who are waiting to hear if they get into grad school/internship or whatever. it's about trusting in God no matter what happens. even if i don't get into OT and have to spend a year doing something else.. i can still bear fruit for the Lord in whatever i'm doing. and that's the most important thing.. keeping our eyes fixed on the Kingdom and things of eternal value :)

have an awesome reading week small group!
