Living Water

For the past week or two, I have been completely sober of caffeine.  I must say, being caffeine free has been beneficial for my health so far.

I have been going to bed earlier, and rising earlier as well.  I have used these mornings to do tasks I previously have not been able to do- such as reading my Bible and going to the gym.  I have turned to exercising to now relieve my stress, instead of consuming coffee by the gallon.

I now, however, have become addicted to Hot Chocolate to wake me up in the morning.

With this new energy, I have been able to depend more on God and turning my problems over to Him.  I have also became less stressed, while studying more and staying focused.

  Psalm 91:14 -15 States:
“Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and
I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” (NIV)

After waking up at 5 in the morning (that is how early I have been rising lately), I did last minute studying and was feeling sick.  After coming back to my dorm from my 8 AM class, I took medicine to ease the cramps and just felt exhausted.  

My resolution was what I usually when I feel troubled or dismayed.  I prayed.

Psalm 55:2
“Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed by my troubles.” (NLT)

Afterwards, I kept hearing my conscience stating "It will be alright- don't stress, don't stress."  I continued to study, and by the time I went to take my exam for Microbiology- I felt like I did amazing.  It is a rare occasion when I feel confident after taking an exam.

 Psalm 34:4
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”(KJV)

This has been a very blessed, hardworking week so far.  I have been blessed with love and support from my friends to work hard, my small group has been successful, and I even got to see a Human Cadaver (the Perks of being a Nursing Major)!  As well, today I had one of my blog posts published on Devotional Cafe!

I suppose I need to continue to stay away from the Starbucks coffee, and continue drinking from the Living Water my Father Abba is providing daily.

Isaiah 40:29-31 

“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (NIV)

Have a blessed Day,

A New Perspective

The last post I made was about my boyfriend's fall.  Well, I think I have better insight on the matter now that it has been a couple of days. 

We found out that the doctor never gave him an MRI.  So, it's possible that surgery was never done correctly.  And what I have found to see is that maybe it is a good thing that he fell ice skating compared to rock climbing on a mountain.

The injuries could have been more severe, or even deadly.

I know this is kind of taboo to say, but maybe this is a blessing.  A blessing that could have prevented worse damage. 

The difference between us and God is that we are inferior, as hard as that may seem at times.  We are His Creation.  We did not create anything that you seen in this world.  If anything, we only molded and combined given matter. 

According to Sir Isaac Newton (at least I think it's his theory), matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

But, that's another idea.

I'm trying to get the point across that we need God.  He is our Father, and our Abba. 

Who else can we run to when no one else is there?

Who do we pray to when we feel pain in our lives?

Psalm 18:2 States:

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

God loves us, even though we feel like the entire world is against us.  Remember, God created the World.  And He will never turn His back on us, He is greater than this world.

Have a blessed day,
