i'm not clever enough to think of a cool title =(
Hello all...
I promised Angie and GP that I would "blog" so here I am...because friends keep promises. =)
I was re-reading my old entries, most of which are from my first year, and they made me smile...but at the same time made me kinda sad cause I miss Jill...fo serious!!
It's nice to see all the first years having a grand ol time, getting to know each other more, and most importantly, falling in love with Him more. Such a blessing to see.
Spiritual Highs - when I was reading my old entries, I started reminiscing about the spiritual high that is my whole first year. Every day was so exciting and new. I was an eager child of God, yearning to see Him every day, and so aware of His presence in my life. I have yet to have a spiritual high like that one. However, when thinking about this past year, remembering all the struggles and all the doubts, yet, by His grace, focusing only on the joys...i don't know what I'm saying. =) This year was a lot different from my first year in Liwanag...I'm a different person than I was before...All that has remained the same is Him!! The joy and love He never ceases to show. Though I have yet to experience a spiritual high like i had my first year, I'd like to think that this year has been a continuous spiritual high for me, just in a different way. I'm not sure how to explain it. Sometimes I think that this year has been even more of a spiritual high. When I first started, I didn't really have any challenges or struggles, and He lifted me up and allowed me to experience so many joys!! It's kind of like the beginning mode of a relationship...the butterflies, the excitement...This year, He has definitely tested me...I've felt pain, I've suffered (mostly due to my own faults and pride) and yet He still lifted me up and allowed me to experience so many joys. The ammount He lifted me this year is even greater because He lifted me up from the bottom...if that makes sense. The reason it may not feel like I've experienced any spiritual highs this year is because my starting off point this year was different than it was my first year...but the amount He lifted me was the same...He is soooo good...For a while I wished I could go back to my first year, or at least experience the feelings I had my first year...but by doing that I was blinding myself to the blessings and the spiritual high He was offering me this year. My first year, He showed Himself to me personally...It was all about MY spiritual high...this year He has given me the eyes to see Him in the relationship He has built with others. I cannot explain the joy I feel when I see my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ growing with Him and growing in Him. Now that I think about it, I'm glad this year was different from my first year...either way...I am blessed. God has revealed Himself to me...I have seen His face, and heard His voice...Wow!!
I haven't "blogged" in so long, that I kinda forgot what it felt like =)
Anyway, I have to be going soon, so I shall leave you with a rondom list of goodies...
-LIWANAG (AMEN WE BELIEVE, BLESSED AND BROKEN, BE NOT AFRAID)
-laker games (even though they're out of the playoffs, i'm super duper proud)
*side note: the sunday after they were eliminated, I felt the urge to pray for them during mass...I think I smiled during my prayer, in the middle of mass. I felt kinda nerdy, but God put that urge in me for some reason...and plus, everyone needs prayers.
*another side note: I went to the Clipper game last night and I was really really happy for them, but my heart wasn't fully in it. I miss my lakers!!!
*one more side note, last one about the lakers I promise: Kobe Bryant dresses well and looks so handsome in his dress shirts, ties, and sweaters.

-someone I know, who shall remain nameless, was told that he dressed "metro" by his principal (that probably gives it away huh?)
