On saturday, I came home from the library and cleaned the apartment. I had to throw away the garbage but I decided to wait because I had to pick up my mom later on. A little while later, my neighbor had to go to the hospital because the stairs collapsed as he was walking down. The constructers tore down what was left of the stairs and are rebuilding. I have never been so thankful for the sound of banging. I am so blessed by the Grace of God.
When i fall, HE lifts me up and when i feel ashamed and guilty, HE carries me.

First day of school
School was great. Met old friends, teachers are interesting, many opportunities await.
However, a feeling of despair came over me. I felt overwhelmed and alone. I guess I am afraid that I will repeat the same mistakes twice.
I missed my mom when I got home. I needed someone to talk to, someone to tell me that it will all turn out alright as long as I try my best. But I knew that she wouldn't come home until later in the night.
So I was doing homework when I heard the keys jingle and behold, it was my mom. I was suprised because rarely does she come home this early. God is great. His Grace is sufficient and everlasting.
What keeps me going is the fact that the challenges that I face is all for the glory of God. The struggles will all pass and be done with. I have to remember to enjoy the present because one day it will become the memories I cherish in the future.

Reflection
I have faith that God has a bigger plan for me.
Too many things just fall right into place and work out for the better.
I am a person who has made too many mistakes but by the grace of God and Jesus' love, i am made new.
Overflowing,Everlasting, always and forever kind of love.

"I never could be good enough to measure up.But You want to take me as I come. You're the only one that can take me as I am." Take me as I am- Nicole Nordeman
Another week passes and i could not have made it through without GOD. He truly is amazing and fills my heart's cup with an overflowing everlasting always and forever kind of love.
I've been so depressed with my past and couldn't let it go. But I learned that God does not condemn but convicts. A loving father, once a child asks for forgiveness, wouldn't beat that child everyday for something he or she did a long time ago. I'm so thankful and i am humbled by his full acceptance in who i was and am and will be.
you are loved,
nuri.

Breaking bad habits
For the New Year, I want to break habits of procrastination, laziness, over eating and internet use.
Today was disappointing because I did not wake up for church. It was the first sermon of the year and I missed it. I always do something I regret and have alot of trouble getting past it. One thing I've learned is that, to have a good past you have to enjoy the present and look foward to the future. All this time, I've wasted so much time on regret when I can make the most of the present.
Procastination does more harm than good. Actually, it does no good. If I wait and tell myself that I will do it later, I keep telling myself that, until the time comes when whatever I have to do is due and it's too late. I'm overwhelmed with work and I get discouraged and unmotivated.
The best thing to do is to plan out your schedule, complete all of your tasks and have a proper sleep pattern.
I've also been struggling with sleep. When I have to study, I get really tired. I take "naps" and end up feeling more tired and drowsy. Plus, I have to make up for it by staying up later in the night.
