this blog was never meant to be a place where i jus vent about problems. I wanted my blog to be about God. I wanted it to be uplifting and encouraging. And not filled complaints or negativity. I've been trying so hard to hold my tongue on any negative thoughts. But the fact is, life has many obstacles to overcome. Trials make us stronger. Suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character; and character, hope. So when life gets hard, look up and put your hope in God! Overcoming difficulties requires us to rise to the challenge and to mature. More importantly, we're given the choice to either face our problems on our own, or to trust God in the midst of them. God also surrounds us with the body of the church so we can lend and receive support from others. Regardless of how big or small your problems are, God cares about all the things we struggle with. And by walking with him, he begins a growing process of change, discipline, and sanctification.
Some random thoughts, and me battling my bad habits
1) My stomach is driving me nuts. It's obvious it's another ulcerative colitus flare up. But i'm too stubborn to go to the doctor. The pills i'm taking now are slowly helping. And i read on peptobismo that you're not supposed to take if u have ulcers.. so i was like.. oops.. do i bear out the pain till it goes away? or go through the hassle of doctor appointments? lol i'm choosing to bear it out..
2) I need to get my life organized. It's hard to break old habits. Sleeping super late affects my next day. I need to sleep earlier and eat healthier.
3) I need to clean my room. i kinda get tired of cleaning, and things become messy fast. I need to do laundry.
4) I need to start working out harder and more consistently. Being away from the gym makes me feel sluggish and lazy. gah so hard to make it to the gym on my own
4.5) i worry and think too much
5) This should've been number 1 on the list, but i want to deepen in my walk with God. And this takes devoting time. This takes practicing spiritual disciplines in secret and in quiet places. I feel like i've lost that sense of just being with God. I need to stop occupying myself with other things.
6) I skipped class today again. i coulda made it on time, but i felt so tired, so i slept in. Yesterday i felt so behind in hebrew. I'm on chapter 8 and the teacher is discussing chapter 10. I pull out all the vocabulary flash cards i haven't looked at and it's a buttload. Studying hebrew is like placing yourself in an empty swimming pool, then filling it with mud, quicksand, barf, lava, monkey poop, a hebrew dictionary, and a black hole. but then later i felt better because everyone said after the last test, people stopped studying too. And the prof hasn't given any quizzes lately, so everyone else feels behind too. I also read through the book, and got some hw done.. it's not so bad once it clicks.
7) Oh this is a random thought. but i started watching this show called "Walking Dead." It's a zombie survival show.. u guys probably wouldn't like it, unless you like zombies. but the show is kinda creepy, that i keep thinking what if zombies really do exist and want to eat me. Shows on hulu are also distracting, tv, entertainment and video games sucks all my time. Control ur limits chris!
8) i've been having a bunch of dreams. A giant gorilla was chasing me. i wish i remembered more of my dreams. lol, i do remember i drove my car through a burgerking.
9) it's kinda sad i need to leave church soon. i'm gonna miss everyone. :( i wanted to do somethin fun for church this friday and also hallelujah night. but i really don't have any ideas. If you guys have any fun ideas please help me!!
10) i like chicken
11) i'm kinda excited to go watch a movie tonight. Probably End of Watch
12) im wasting my time blogging.. lol
12.5) i miss hawaii.. i should call my parents
13) i want to see a chiropractor, but it's so much $! but my back hurts! ahh
14) i'm addicted to minecraft and pokemon. it's becoming a problem
15) if u got this far, u minus well pray for me! thanks!
