And even if you beg to differ, I just want to encourage you to BREATHE!
Be still in whatever life may be throwing at you, and know that HE is GOD :)

Hey, I'm back
Whoa...it's been a while since I wrote! What made me come back you ask?
hmm... I really don't know.
I guess we'll just see where this takes me.

Anxious...waiting... WHAT!?!
"Wake up... Wake UP! It's 7:30, you're going to be late"
It's early Monday morning on a bright, summer day but sadly I had made a choice to enroll in summer school this year. Waking up each day with my mother's voice ringing in my ear. Oh the tiring mornings, and the never ending lectures; I thought I had liked English but that just didn't seem to work. Day after day, I gazed out the window watching the world pass me by as I was stuck inside this class and an unachievable lie.
Our first test came back and all I saw was RED lines, crossing on the paper and edits all around. I swear English was supposed to be easy, but somehow I began to see REALITY.
People began dropping out by the numbers each day, I thought I would end up like one of them, but something made me stay.
"I am expecting a 90 and that's all I'll take," said some of the drop-outs who could not wait another day. They stormed out the door with sad, disappointed faces. I took one glance at them and thought my road was over. Then I saw some people, I could have sworn that they were my friends and seeing them drop out too made me think, was I making a mistake or was it just them?
I earnestly prayed and prayed and prayed, asking God to give me the strength to endure this nightmare. Although it was not easy staying put in my position, I knew that Greater was He that was in me than he that was in the world. So as I was beginning to realize that I needed to get real with my expectations, I felt more eased and performed better than ever. I guess it was God who was constantly at work, helping me to fulfill His perfect plan.
Nevertheless merely human as I am, I had some rough patches and fell real hard, but it was always through His faithfulness that picked me up right back to start.
Finally this journey was now over, and I was free to enjoy the rest of my summer but somehow I began feeling sad. This was a unforgettable experience I had. I met some interesting people and became quite close to some. Despite the work, we managed to have fun, and had some interesting moments too.
I don't think I can ever forget this class, the Oedipus complex and the Educated Northrop Frye. But I can definitely say that I have finally faced reality and I know that someone out there is very proud.

Welcome to my Blog
There is no better a feeling than being able to see your own name on the top of a page. A page you can call YOUR own and express anything YOU want! This sort of website that opens numerous doors, where you can leave your mark and receive never ending feedback... UNBELIEVABLE!
Through this blog, I intend to voice my concern of the FAITH or rather the IMPACT of it in our lives. We are Blessed, but when we realize to see it or live in the eyes of our maker, then we can reach an understanding of our purpose of living.
So as I begin this journey, I invite all you blogger out there to feel free to respond to my blogs and critic it.
Be Blessed in the Lord!
