When I read other people's blogs, it just blows me away how profound it can be. The things that people write about God are so insightful and educated. I should spend more time reading the Bible. I could spend more time contemplating on passages. Yet, the only thing I find myself naturally doing is to pray. I pray hard. If anyone asked me about Bible verses or parables, I probably wouldn't be able to name them all, or describe or explain them. The only thing I know is that if I didn't have God in my life, I would not know what Faith was. Faith is what got me this far.
I guess today's themes are Faith and Sacrifice.
I just started reading The Purpose Driven Life again. A friend had bought it for me a while ago but I never got around to finishing it. Our purpose is to live out God's dreams for us, even if it's not OUR dreams. That's what Rick Warren said.
--------------------------------------------------
I kind of took a break. A friend called and I had to put this entry aside. Anyway, we won't talk about the book tonight. I'm a bit tired and don't really want to talk about anything too deep.
I really want to start training for the half marathon in Long Beach. I feel like I need to stop being so lazy and wake up early in the morning to go to daily Mass and then go for a run. I'm so afraid that my calves are going to get even thicker once I start running. It's already HUGE! (Oh man, thank goodness for the "delete" button. It would've been really embarrassing if I couldn't fix my typo.) Anyway, so I'm excited about the training. Hopefully this will help with my health too.
So I sent in all my application documents to Cal State Fullerton but I got a phone call today from the Counseling department. Gina Marie said that I am missing one more letter of recommendation which was impossible since I made sure all my recommenders sent in their letters. What I think happened was that one of my recommenders sent his way to early so they must have misplaced it. So, now I have to make sure that the letter is in by Wednesday in order to be considered. *crossing fingers* I really hope John gets my email in time and send out the letter before deadline.
I think that's been the most stressful thing I've had on my mind the whole day. I had dinner with one of my best friends. It was nice to just spend some time with her again, since I was starting to feel like we had drifted apart. I think it was mainly because I felt like she was beginning to get tired of hearing me talk about one specific thing, all the time. But we didn't talk about that one specific thing this time. I didn't want to talk about it anymore. I just don't think it would make any difference for me to talk about it anyway. It doesn't make me feel any better. So, we didn't. We went shopping instead. I found the perfect dress to wear for the next wedding I'll be attending. tee hee. After that, it can be for any fancy occasion I guess.
Anyway, Rosey wanted to go to Bloomingdales to find boots. Her mom had bought her a really expensive bag that she didn't like. She didn't like it because it was name brand and we both don't give a hoot about name brand stuff unless it's like on a crazy sale. haha. So she returned her bag and got a gift card. You know, I enjoy wearing clothes that are trendy and fashionable, but I just don't understand why people have to be so unreasonable as to buy such expensive clothes. I get that it must be way better quality, but really? A blouse for $158? Talk about consumerism. I'm fine with shopping at Forever 21, or any other fashion stores. At least I know I've spend 3 times less for so much more cute clothes. =D
Anyway, enough about that. It's time for my favorite part of the night. Except, tonight it's the Sorrowful mysteries. =\
Have a good night world. Don't forget to count your blessings!
