Home Stretch

Hey all!

Tomorrow is my final day of school, till thanksgiving break. I’ll be off all next week hehe =P. I also have a mere 4 weeks left in school. 1 more month?! This semester has gone by so fast, although it has definitely been my hardest one! I’m behind in work in a few classes… but if I soldier up and do the work I gotta do, then I can still redeem my status within those classes hehe. The most difficult part of school, I think, is doing my schoolwork while maintaining my relationship with the Lord. There always seems to be a whole mess load of things that distract me from that… whether it be schoolwork, games, life situations, family, etc. , it never ceases to amaze me how quick I can stray away from the Lord.

So, im currently trying to set aside some time once again to just sit back… meditate on God’s word and pray. An hour or so a day seems good… not too big a commitment for me, I dont think (I mean, I aint workin’ or anything so… yeah hehe). Yeah! It’s definitely a worthwhile commitment! To complete all my school tasks, yet lessen in my relationship with the Lord is a situation I’m all to familiar with… and am not too fond of heh. Rather, I should grow in my communion with the Lord so I can be a more successful student… nay, live a more successful life! (Success in the eyes of the Lord, that is heh) Heh, so I think that a timely read through of the gospels is in order. =P

A very unorganized post, but im not necessarily writing this to share with people… but, that in the future, I can look back and see a bit of the past… and maybe learn  a thing or 2 heh.

A few tasks im currently up to

-Finishing up Greek studying! Dont understand anything we’re currently on… and that must change

-Preparing to write papers and do projects for other classes. Heh, shouldnt be too hard…

-Beating away the temptation to research character development, storylining, artistic designing, etc. for the comic in development haha! That joint can be such a distraction at times… must be careful

-Keeping in prayer my family, friends, and personal walk with the Lord; among other things heh

-Will be reading through the gospels! Cant wait to apply PBI to the texts! =D

-Evaluating current position with the church, in general, Hehe…

Mid-Semester mark

Heya!

So, its mid-semester for me… and I’ve been realizing alot of things. It’s been a bit of a slump for me the past month or so… but I’ve decided to once again repent from my dumb ways and start trusting in the Lord heh. Theres aot of work to be done…

Anywho, I’ve got far too much hw to blog any more than that! (Although I feel like doing so heh…) I’ll prolly add something new on my other blog, “Servant/Student: Aaron” sometime soon. Till then…

~Grace and Peace!

“Through the deepest of pain, God is enough”

John Piper speaking out against the health, wealth, and prosperity gospel; and speaking on what knowledge of the true gospel of Christ produces. Good stuff, I say. (Now off I head to school)

“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

~2 Corin 12:7-10

New Blog! Servant/Student: Aaron

Hey everyone! I havent been blogging for quite a bit… and, although this one has been fun, I’ve decided to start a new blog!

Not to say that I’ll never use this one again… but, for this school semester at least, I’m going to blog about alot of stuff discussed in my classes! The things discussed in the classes of Aaron… interesting stuff indeed! (Or not… depending on what ur into hehe)

Here’s a list of the courses I’m taking. I’ll discuss, weekly, an interesting topic raised in each class:

-Intro to Psychology (Christian Psychology)

-Pauline Epistles 2

-Principles of Biblical Interpretation: Narrative

-Greek Grammar  1

-Apologetics

-Science of Creation

Each an interesting class… with amazing professors! Im excited to post up what they’ve taught me! Hopefully it can be a blessing to y’all =D

Anywho, here’s the link to the blog:

This should be intense! Get ready for a bit of reading hehe! I pray that it serves y’all well. =P

~Truth and Grace

Amidst the busyness of school, some impacting thoughts.

Hello all!

I’ve started school and am totally loving it! That bein said… alot of reading and such has been required of me, and its only gonna grow haha! Amidst school stuff, I’ve been listening to some Mark Driscoll. This guy’s vids have humbled me and set me back on course… hopefully they will be a blessing to any who listen, as well! They’re very worthwhile to listen to, and I strongly encourage y’all to check these vids out and think on what he says. They’ve def impacted me.

Anywho, please pray for me, as I balance school with the struggles of the Cchan life! off I go to do some homework hehe =P.

Fun stuff! Superpower naming

Heya everyone! =D

List out as many superpowers as you can!

Generic ones are good… but if you got some creative ones in mind, then go for it haha! =D

(They may be used in the comic I actually started haha!)

Haha school time

Hahaha!

So yeah… unexpectedly got taken up by my mom for the past few day, so I couldn’t blog heh. But hey, its all good! It was really enjoyable.

I also couldn’t find a scanner… so I couldnt upload what I wanted to =(

Oh well… school has started, and I’m excited! I look forward to long nights of hard homework, and not blogging =D
Anywho… until we meet again…

~Grace and Peace!

Post pending! 1 day delay =P

Yo!

I wanted to scan something and post it up…

So I’ll save my surprise for tomorrow’s (technically today’s) blog =P

6 Days left! =o

7 days! o_o

Sup all!

So hey… still halfway through this day, but I figured that, since I have some free time, I’d blog heh.

I’ve been hangin out at the Wulff’s house for the whole day,  and have had a pretty good time. We cooked brownies this morning! And, Ed is cooking some kinda steak right now… Haha, we’ll be playing this new online videogame thing called “Dragonica” in 20 mins. I’ll prolly play it for just this week, then drop it as soon as school starts hehe.

Been reading through Mark today, and I’m amused at how awesome Jesus’ responses to all His attackers are. He is crazy wise and crafty in what He says! (Mark Chapter 12… good times)

So yeah… 7 MORE DAYS; until I get eaten by a ghost! =D

~Grace and Peace

The final week… then it begins!

Yo!

So… I enter the final week of spring break. Still so much to do…  but hey, by God’s grace, He has allowed me to enjoy this summer and learn more about His love through it. I am so excited about the coming semester, tho! 6 classes son! 6 CLASSES! Haha, they aint easy ones too. Somehow the challenge is both exciting and humbling… I have absolutely no hope this semester, apart from a miraculous working of God through this disorganized and foolish man (me heh).

So… lets see what can be accomplished within these last few days of summer. I pray that it will be a fruitful one… not necessarily in exciting action-esk deeds… but, perhaps God will move me through mundane tasks, to help build my self-control and prepare me for the coming semester. We shall see where He takes me! =P

DAYS REMAINING: 8

———————————————

Sidenotes:

There’s alot of real pain in the world. I was exposed to much of it today, through multiple people in my life… physical, emotional, and spiritual pain… I’ve seen all of it today. Reminds me of our fallen-ness… but also of the things to come for those in Christ.

I take joy in the fact that this world is not the end, but is only the beginning… and I pray that those in my life would partake in His love, as well. Oh what a marvelous and mysterious God we serve…
