Without Hands

I am not even sure what to write about!!  Because there's so much to write about! So instead of writing about me, I am just going to share something!! :)

So Ivor Myers...Ivor Myers.... Ivor Myers...I was introduced to former-hip hop artist now Pastor Ivor Myers by my younger sisters. From facebook statusi (lol?) to spending time in their rooms watching his sermons online on Friday nights, I had to take a listen.

I did. I listened to two of his sermons titled Without Hands (9/3/07) and Weapons of Our Faith (3/9/07). It was obvious that the Lord was using the man to preach the WORD.

CHECK HIM OUT!!

Other than that, things have been going well on my end. Making sure I don't get sick, and trying to stay on top of my work. So far it's been going well...even though both my phone and computer died and also wouldn't charge. All happened during the same week. No phone. No computer. I didn't know what to do. :-/ But to make a long story short, I now have a phone, and after five years of having my computer, I am thinking that it's a sign to get another one....MERCY. it had to happen now, like right now?

meh. it's all good. I am still all smiles :) God is good? ALL THE TIME!!!  HeLLO somebody!!

I want it alll back!! :)

Get back up again!!!!

We're now in Week SIX!! (wow!!) Week 5 has been the turn around point this semester...yay! Last semester it was: motivation (x 10) the first 5 weeks, up and down moments in the middle and then motivation (x3) the last few weeks. This semester, I would say it started with womp womp womp motivation the first four and half weeks, and now we're getting back at it.

This weekend has been excellent. :) juuuuust excellent. So much going on (it was a bit overwhelming) but I was able to get a little bit of everything starting with the kick-off Black History month Sabbath at the university's church, to a potluck, helping set up a surprise birthday party to the Haitian's students' vespers and social event afterwards. The games we played brought up some really sweet and wonderful memories *sniff sniff* lol :).

Anyways, I am so looking forward to this week and this upcoming weekend!!!!!! yay!! :)

For the first time in a WHILE!!: To do List!

Okay, so for the first time this ENTIRE! semester, (we're in Week 5 now), I am feeling "hopeful" interestingly enough because I feel like I am once again gaining control of my "environment". Though today started on a rough note (slightly)...went to bed later than usual as of late (around 12:30am this morning); woke up mighty early (*dear mother, please don't call me as such early morning hours!* :); got to the campus, found the PERFECT parking spot; went to the library and immediately found a room that I could reserve for the next 2 hours; went and situated myself in the room; and where is the worksheet that I needed to work on and finish before class this afternoon?...You have GOT to be kidding me.

Yup. I left it at the apartment. So needless to stay, I was quite frustrated, irritated, just uuuugggggghhhh! But then, when I made back to the apartment, I whispered a VERY short prayer (it's hard to pray for real when you're annoyed lol), and walked out the door. I could not WAIT for the day to be over before it even began.

And once again....what I thought was going to be an unpleasant day....turned out fine. In fact better than I thought.
Among many other things and people that made it a brighter day (aww lol), I was so productive today, it was just unbelievable. Now, the only thing left for me to do for class tomorrow is...write a journal (just two pages), and my work for Thursday is half way done. WOW. I even took care of all the bills that I needed to take of. Doubly wow.

Once again, I can't stop but PRAISE THE LORD for undeserved patience and kindness.
        Definitely making sure that I dedicate time studying his Word every night has helped TREMENDOUSLY. I will explain in another post. I am trying to keep this as short as possible.

To do list this February:

• Stay up to date with the "Read the Bible in One Year" and continue to write 1-page summaries of the chapters read that specific night. [It should help with remembering facts/interesting notes]
• Finish 25 hours of classroom observation for one class
• Finish Research Paper for another class
• Study and do well in Mid-Term for class #1
• Book Report for another class
• Obtain mastery for assessing [a specific intelligence test] for yet another class
• Keep working on those Fruits of the Spirit! :) by continuing my morning daily devotions.
• Oh and continue to get my EIGHT hours of sleep, preferably BEFORE midnight!! (umm except tonight though cause it's already late and I am hungry, and I am very alert) So proud of myself for being productive today. Thank you Jesus!!! :-D

Have a great night! and rest of week :)
