Here's a joke to start off your week!
One day, a girl named Alice woke up and found herself 5 minutes away from being late. Extremely exhausted, she decided to go back to sleep. Her roommate was already up and studying. A few minutes later, just as Alice was drifting off to sleep, she let out a fart so loud that she woke herself up and startled her roommate! An awkward silence followed as Alice pretended she was still asleep. When her roommate finally left, Alice jumped up from the bed, face red with embarrassment.
And that's how the Lord made sure Alice got to class on time and would never ever try to ditch class again.

So I'm back at UCI again, the air had cleared up, and classes were in session (they never did cease anyways). I'm trying to take Annie's challenge to do devotion every morning and to take Jack's challenge to incorporate Provers 4: 23 in my conversations with friends. I realized that my devotions had a lot of Bible reading but lacked prayer, praise, and waiting upon Him. God, I want to be closer to You. I want to be crazy for You. I need to spend more time praying.
Jesus, I remember the time at Growing in the Prophetic Conference (when my devotional journal fell into the toilet and is now and forever baptized by IHOP's "holy" toilet water -_-"), when You showed me a glimpse of Your magnificent glory. Oh Jesus, right that second I was in awe at You. Oh You are so magnificent, so glorious, so loving and kind, oh You are worthy! Worthy of our worship! Jesus You are so glorious. Oh Lord, teach me how to pray constantly throughout the day. Lord, forever remind me that You are good and worthy of praise, that You are the magnificent obsession, the desire of the nations, and that my life is for You.
"Send forth Your light and Your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell." (Psalms 43: 3)
Lord, what season am I in? Am I in the wilderness? The season of change? The season of training? Jesus, may Your light shine on me, I want to walk in the light of Your truth, in obedience to Your laws, in love, and in wisdom. Lord, no matter what season I'm in, let Your love burn in me. Lord I am Yours!
