Finding Peace!
"The story is told of two painters. Each painted a picture to illustrate his concept of rest. The first chose for his scene a still, serene lake among the far-off mountains. The second painted a thundering waterfall with a fragile birch tree bending over the foam; at the fork of a branch, almost wet with the cataract’s spray, a robin sat on its nest. Which best portrayed the essence of rest? It is not often in this world of turmoil that we find the rest of a lone mountain lake. More often we must find our rest amid the turmoil of real life" (ASSQ, Tuesday's Lesson).
The latter described my day, and possibly this week?
To say the least, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it today. SOOOOO much to do. Tons of work for one class, and a presentation for the MLK symposium at the school. I wasn't ready for either one of them. I went to bed worried (shouldn't have because I've seen the work of God in my life during stressful situations like this), honestly assuming that it was going to be a FAIL for me today....................nope, turned out to be a WIN for me.
To say the very least, THANK YOU, JESUS!!!. I SERVE A MIGHTY GOD!!!
---> I thank God for friends, for support, for prayers, for caring people, for awesome and thoughtful professors, for miracles, for HIM caring so much even when He didn't have to. <----

A Movie of Resilience and Determination: My New Favorite
It encouraged me. [James 1:1,2]
When you're born to be free, no matter what the circumstances, fight for your freedom! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. No one has more control over your life than you do. So no more excuses for actions, words...fight for freedom from whatever is holding you back!

John 16:33
Last night, as is my usual habit, when I logged back on my computer, one of the first things I glanced through was cnn.com. Actually, no. It was during class, I received a text informing me about the 7.0 quake that hit the "(half) island" Haiti. When I checked cnn.com, (don't really LISTEN to the news), I spent a good half an hour just trying to figure out the situation down there so far. At some point in time, after forwarding the text I received, I decided to close my computer...13 chapters to read + 2 articles + a journal entry due today for one class were all good reasons to muster up my concentration and try to do it finish it all by today's end.
Nonetheless, my texts back and forth with a couple of friends induced a mixed feeling of disturbance, and melancholy...."WHY!?'.
I went to bed early this morning, still not completely done with my assignments. It's Week 2 and I am barely swimming.
So this morning, as I am currently doing my devotion (Adult Quarterly Sabbath School)...the first verse that is featured says the following:
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."- John 16: 33.
Refreshing reminder.
Joyful emotions.
Appeased mind.
Worryless faith.
Peace that passeth all understanding.
In the middle of my devotion, I thought it beneficial to blog it. And in the middle of my blog, I switched my text messages signature line. It now reads: John 16:33. I could not be any happier to be reminded that My GOD has ALREADY OVERCOME this world.

"Love in Action"
A quote that I thought was powerful from the Adult SS Quarterly's lesson for today: (Thursday)
"I was hungry, and you formed a humanities club to discuss it. I was imprisoned, but you complained about the crime rate. I was naked, and you debated the morality of my appearance. I was sick, and you thanked God for your health. I was homeless, and you preached to me about the shelter of God's love. You seem so holy and so close to God; but I'm still hungry, lonely, cold, and in pain. Does it matter?"
