if there is a day you have eaten until you were full;
if there is a time of joy you can recall;
if you have escaped even once the clutches of death;
if you can remember one or all of the above,
then you have something to be grateful for.
-Iyanla Vanzant
Im starting a new devos book for 2005 called Until Today! by Iyanla Vanzant. Its actually pretty good although I am on my first day. One thing that stuck out for me is this:
When you breathe, that's God.
When you move, that's God.
When you think about where you need to be and what you need to do, that's God give you the power to take the thought and translate into action.
When you speak, that's God.
When you eat, it's God.
For without God's love, God's mercy and grace, nothing you consider important would be possible.
God is First.
this is what she calls the Law of First things which acknowledges that we must always put God first. Its so true yet its something we all forget to do all the time. We always want ourselves to be first, but really, everything is made because of God and He should always be first. Im gonna try to follow the mandate at the bottom for at least the next week: Today I am devoted to putting God first in all things!
well, today, I woke up late for once! it was an errand-free day which is probably why I enjoyed it. We went to fetch Kay Sin at noon and went for lunch at swiss chalet. Yummy! hehe.. went home and I watched Mulan II twice in a row. Then i fell asleep until 5:00. I woke up and got dressed for my first dinner at the Granite as an official member. Got dressed in my suit so that was lotsa fun. The food wasn't half bad. I was actually expecting a lot worse considering my last experience with fine dining at the granite banquet. hehe.. having another dinner there tomorrow. Soon, im gonna be addicted to fine dining at the Granite just because I am able to eat there now. hehe.. well, ate with Brock, Praising, Willing, Lemuel, Quinn and my parents so the company was fun as well. Nothing very exciting. hehehehe..
had to rethink a lot of things, don't know if my decision is for the best. All I can do is pray...
