holiday hoopla

:/ This blog is late again.... I dont know why i keep forgetting about this. Well anyway


So its finally break! big sigh*. I know a lot of us have been looking forward to this for a really long, i know i was. I remember yesterday, which was the last day of school, during morning prayer i was thinking of a lot of things really: chem test, what to do after school, what gifts to get and such. But when everyone came in, i just thought about all the times i've said to myself, "I need to meet God during the hard times". But what about the good times? It's really easy to run after God when there's no other options, but when there is other options, what do we do? It's easy to look at all the quick fulfillments , those that last even just a couple hours. But during that morning prayer, i tried to pray for giving up those things. I prayed for giving the day to God, when most of the times we think it should be for ourselves. Now was i successful, not completely. I still was anxious about my chem test, and i still thought about where to eat for dinner and such. But as the holiday season is here, its so easy for us to make all the hoopla about us. When does God come into the picture? Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!”
