I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.
I will be careful to lead a blameless life-
when will you come to me?
Psalm 101:1-2
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we now that suffering produces perseverance,; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has pour out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Romans 5:1-6

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Apparently alcohol doesn’t put me to sleep, but keeps me awake. (Don’t worry, I didn’t have very much).
Lately I’ve been reflecting on my University experiences, and I’ve been feeling a little disappointed that I haven’t developed many “deep, long-lasting” relationships with people as I think I should’ve. As I thougt about it, I felt as if not many ppl that would want to “keep in touch” with me after University. Perhaps my bouts of loneliness have been because I’m out of touch right now (see post on Lent). But what is life without relationships? I believe that God values relationships and relationships are what matter in the end. So I thought about the reasons why I don’t have as many close University friends as I “should”. Maybe my lack of close friends is a by-product of being in co-op (I too, have been feeling like a nomad with no place to set my roots). I considered whether there was an inherent flaw in my personality - perhaps I’m just a bad friend, or have poor social skills, or maybe I stink. (hopefully it’s not the last one:P)
But a good friend reminded me that maybe my assumptions of having “many deep, long-lasting” relationships is not really the right one to have. Not everyone has plenty of close relationships from University. As well, it’s the choices I’ve made that have put me in this place. Although there may be SOME bad things that have resulted, I also have grown through those choices. Plus, when I think about it, I’m really blessed cuz I do have a couple of friends who have been there for me and who I can always pick up where we left off….ppl I can pour my heart to and who I can count on. (You know who you are:))
So yeah, I feel blessed right now. Not only for friends, but for family. As much as we get on each other’s nerve, I love them and they love me. Plus they HAVE to love me. HA! Like last Sunday….my parents rushed after church to buy me groceries so Auntie Linda could drive them up for me. 
Alex, you know I love you too…praying for you too. Thanks for fixing my blog.
I guess it’s being thankful for what you have, not what is missing.
G-dog - without you, I was fine (Miss Independent - “boys suck, who needs them?”). With you, life has been sweeter, my walk better… I don’t blog about u mostly cuz I think it grosses ppl out. Whatever. I’m not entirely coherent anyways.
Thank you.
