Build patience. Maintain that unweighted 4. Learn to listen, learn to hold my tongue, learn to react, learn to be a tool for God. 100 miles in 30 days for water.org. >6k for PACE. Road tripzz (= Philippians 4:4 It’s been a long year. But in hindsight, it hasn’t really been long at all. What have I accomplished? I don’t know, but I’m grateful that I can look back...

Hollywood
Hollywood can make us laugh, make us cry, break our hearts, inspire the nations… If we paid the same attention to God, imagine what He can do for us.

Expectations
I started out praying, “God, if one person is touched by what I’m doing, let me be content.” But then I stopped. I went through the day, running errands, writing cards, baking, making, driving, exhausted. I lost sight of what I was doing it for and started to focus on what I was getting in return. I let my worldly expectations taint my actions and my attitude. What did I want?...

Baptized.
Part of the family now, guys. What next, God? Story of the day: I was late to my own baptism. I will not forget this one; it was by His grace that I was baptized, and it only happened because it was a part of His plan. Sure, Pastor could’ve said “No, Cynthia. Not only did you NOT do baptism classes, but you are late. Let’s wait another round.” That would’ve been...

1st's.
God’s grace has surpassed my understanding. 1) I woke up at 5am, which is exactly when I wanted to wake up to finish my work, except I had no alarm clock, and I had fallen asleep the night before on my book.. 2) I realized that God actually just wanted to humble me. I am so glad he didn’t give me that pride-trip because he only gives us obstacles that we can handle, and I don’t...

Soo… Insecure. I just have to remember to be faithful. Just curb the doubt, the worries, the belief that I need this. I don’t need it. I just want it. So it’ll be okay. That’s what I want to believe, that’s what I would choose to believe…

UGH. SIKE. “Hi, and welcome to the MIT Online Decisions web site. Admissions decisions will be released on Wednesday, December 16th at 9:00PM EST (Eastern Standard Time). We know you’re excited, and that waiting is tough – hang in there! It won’t be much longer.” Patience = tested. How easy is it for one to assume that they are entitled to something? Yes, I was told December 15th....

I’ll tell you what it’s not like: No longer will the complaints be about the lack of hot water or hot food, our complaints will be about having water and finding food. What of hygiene? Wait.. hy-what? And let’s not forget the antibiotics that we cannot afford to treat the...

[Matthews 6:19-20] Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. [NIV] Okay.
