Give thanks!

I just have deleted 2 old blogs and started this one. Going to take this a bit more seriously.
I realized that it is needed to journal what happened in my life and my journey with God everyday. Once type it down, once I affirm to myself the path that i went through, the lesson that life has taught me and also affirm to myself how much God loves me.

Here is the first post so i want to reflect on the first half of this semester in my second year at seminary.

The semester began quite smoothly. I am talking 5 subject: Christian Education which I consider as the hardest with 2 individual presentations, 1 group presentation, 1 book review and 1 term paper. Second troublesome is Greek with exercises every week, 2 quizes, 2 tests and final exam. I love Methodism morning class for it starts at 9:30am unlike other classes at 8:30am so I have a bit more time to sleep in and moreover there is only one term paper for this course. So likewise for Buddhism class there is also one term paper however it is in the afternoon and yes, most of the time I will be half awake, half sleeping in class. I'm fine with Worship and Liturgy class since my turn in chapel is over, lecturer is a kind and gentle guy. I'm thankful for my lecturers and my time study at TTC.

My relationships with classmates and schoolmates seems better than last sem, except there are some particular that I'm not able to connect with. I'm blessed by friends, buddies and all around me...however I still want to be able to re-communicate with that some particular. I'm blessed by a special friendship that I have with my Nagaland and Myanmar sisters, they have been a comfort place, a source of encouragement when Im down.
There is another special relationship in which God has brought into my life. I don't know how the future would be but I'm sure whether we are meant to be or not there is a reason for it to happen. All we can do for now is to walk closely with God, lift this relationship up to Him in prayer, support and encourage one another for the glory of Him. Nevertheless, I'm thankful for it.

My spiritual life seems to be up and down. I need a change in this area, not by my own strength but by His strength empowers me to change. I desire a life that will please God and be a good example for my brothers and sisters in the family and in Christ. I pray that God will make me a blessing for those I met and will meet. I pray that He will give me the strength to be obedient for Him wholeheartedly.

There are a few things I wanted to note down but i can't remember...so that's all for now.
