the power of prayer.

It’s just an amazing feeling when you’re sitting & basking in His presence.. It’s a feeling that can’t easily be described using simple words but must be experienced.

My first Geology test was today and I was FREAKING out because I really didn’t prepare for it at all.. My fault for not preparing earlier, but honestly, I was distracted by everything else going on (life). I thought, “How can I pray for a test that I didn’t even prepare for and expect God to help me?”.. I was completely wrong. He took the one day I had left of studying and used every single minute to good use. Previously, I agreed to Him that I would spend 1 hour, nothing less, devoted to prayer especially for this test. I gave Him my 1 hour, and in return, He gave me a productive study session as well as doing pretty well on the test. Grades will probably be out next week, but whether it’s an A or not, I will be thankful.

Move me.

Wow, it's really been too long since I last posted a blog. I miss being able to share all my feelings out in writing and talking about my omnipotent God! I apologize for being so lazy and claiming I don't have enough time to post when I should have all the time in the world for my Creator.

Coming back from the Jesus Culture conference gave me a fresh feeling and passion for Jesus. This fire burned for a really long time and it was just amazing being able to love in God and basking in His love. At the moment I felt like this feeling could last forever and I would never grow tired or weary, but I was wrong.. It wasn't God who wasn't good enough for me, but it was me who's not good enough for such an awesome God. The duties and responsibilities I have every single day, whether it be for school, family, friends, boyfriend, or even church, fills up every moment of my day. Though these things shouldn't be a burden, it slowly becomes just that. I slowly grew lazy to want to go out with friends and school was my number one priority. Church kept me busy all 7 days a week which quickly drained my fire away for God. My sister once spoke the words, "Don't become a Martha." This simply means to not do so much for God to where it becomes a duty rather than doing it to glorify His kingdom. When I thought of preparing a prayer meeting or even attending all the morning prayers, I didn't feel a sense of joy. Instead, I felt empty.

I know that there's a reason why God lead me to accidentally click on my blog link. It's mainly because God is jealous for me and all of me. Yes, He enjoys seeing us glorifying His kingdom serving in various ways at church, but more than that, He longs to have a relationship with us.

Daddy, guide me home. I desire to seek You and for Your love to captivate my heart.

Amen.
