the highest form of service you can offer to yourself and God is to spend time each day in silence.
the highest form of love you can offer to yourself, to God and to those you love is to spend time each day calling on the presence of God, the name of God and the light of God.
the highest form of praise you can offer to yourself, to God and to the world is to spend time each day expressing gratitude.
Until today, you may have been trying to squeeze God into the rest of your daily activities.
Today I am devoted to spending quality time with God.
-Iyanla Vanzant
Second day of my daily devotionals with Iyanla Vanzant. She is truly inspiring. I guess today has been well when I really tried to put God first. I prayed before I drove, I acknowledged the fact that He is first, but I still have to work on putting Him first in everything. Tomorrow, I will try to put Him first and trust Him a little more as well as trying to spend even more time with God than usual because it is through Him that I will be strengthened.
alright.. today, i went to a fukien church, first time in ages. It was really weird because apparently i grew up in that church so everyone knew my mom and dad and my parents were saying hi to everyone and I stood there listening to the same thing over and over again:
"She grew soo much", "That's not her, I remember a little girl", "I remember you when you were this small", " how old are you now?", "she's so tall", "don't you remember me?"
yep and sadly, i couldn't remember any so all i could do was say, umm.. not really... anyways.. it was quite okay to see fukienese people again.. didn't know there were so many. Went to bayview for lunch and I got a new skirt from mendocino, one of those giant spanish type skirts. I love it! hehehe... went home for a mr. bean marathon until 5:00 when i got ready for dinner at the granite again. That was interesting and it didn't go as bad as i thought it would. Went pretty well actually. and now I am very very full. 10 hours left till school.. OH BOY!!!
