Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.
1. Time well spent with my family and my friends from YFC as well as my classmates.
2. Free cuts.
3. Getting to read or write in the logbook early in the day
4. Getting cute or inspiring text messages.
5. Playing with Wicket, my dog.
6. Coffee!!
7. Food tripping with my sister or with my friends
8. YFC household
9. New notebooks
10. Getting to just sit in a sunny yet windy location.
I tag anyone who hasn't done this yet.
***blog entry time***
I'm kind of tired from today. I've had a straight load of classes coupled with dropping by my YFC household then rushing to the SMS general assembly. I've had a small break in the day to chat with my friends, but I know too that everyone is busy and anxious nowadays--there's not that much time for deep conversations. I've been a little overwhelmed with the frenzy of academic work as well as my committments to various activities. I don't want to lose my grip on my studies, yet I know also that I have things to do outside of academics. I sometimes wish I could just not be me.
The thing is that I can never bring myself to stop loving God, or to stop caring about my family, my classmates, and my friends in YFC. There are times when I feel so tired from carrying everything and knowing too much, and all I can do is just let go and say "God, Ikaw na ang bahala sa lahat!" For me, the hardest thing to do is surrender. It's even worse when I know that the matter concerns people I love, or things in my life that I have hinged many of my expectations on. There are times when I wish I was a little more heartless, a little less caring. However I know now what makes my world go round.
I really wish I could have stayed for the rest of the household. I'm happy that Junee, JM, and Clar's blockmates went. I'm happy that I got to spend some time with the people I care about. I just wish it had been longer. I just wish I had more time besides worship to be able to unburden myself.
I'm tired but I'm still happy, lost for words, blessed, amazed, and strangely still able to find peace. It's because I know that God is almighty enough to overcome even the worst problems I lift to Him, yet I know that He is also my rock.
