James 4:13-17
Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
what a good message by Charles Price to start the new year. What is our life? it is practically meaningless if we live it on our own. This past year, was a good year and bad year for me. I feel like i have drifted a lot from God ever since University started. No longer was I in the safehouse of PCA where they would keep us accountable. No longer did I have Miss Ng to make sure I was on the right track and no longer did i have the weekely chapels to keep me on a spiritual high. I was on my own, often missing fellowship to go home and see my mom. I get so tired from practice and studying that i barely have enough energy to maintain my quiet time. I tried to live my life on my own since it was my first time on my own. But what is that life? life without meaning? wake up, breakfast, school, study, sleep, wake up, breakfast, school, study, sleep. Too monotonous and if i continue to live my life that way, my life would mean nothing. But my life, if dedicated to God is worth a million times more. This year, i vow to refocus my life so that everything I do revolves around Him. Make my life more meaningful, more than a mist that appears. My life is a mist from a fountain and Jesus is the source of that fountain. Bringing my life back to the source will grant my life meaning.

started the year off great... had a normal, uneventful, no fighting or shouting start with my family. went to church, went to lunch. Then i spent the rest of the day with dan, watching a movie, boba tea, and lounging around before dinner at baton rouge. It was a relaxing and peaceful start to the year hopefully projecting a good year this year?? Hopefully that's the case.
