Today felt like 5 days all jam packed into one. I am rooming with an awesome girl named Hannah who is going with me to Macau!! I'll link to her blog once hers gets set up :) We have a lot of common, and it's gonna be a fun 11 days!
A few of us are sitting up on the lobby doing homework and such, so I should get back to that!! Filling out lots of forms, and reading things :)
I am going to leave you with a few profound thoughts of the day that have stuck with me.
- Happiness does not come from things. Happiness comes as a biproduct of God's presence. --Rev. William Weedon
- [Jesus] is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. -- Colossians 1:17
- In Hebrew, the ten commandments are not in the imperative form: they are in the future. This means that it is a prophesy of what we will be like in the future: when God molds us into His PERFECT children in heaven! **This doesn't mean that we can disregard them: they are what God wants us to follow! It is sin if we break them: because of sin it is impossible to keep them. We should strive to keep God's commands, though we can't. Through Jesus' sacrifice, we will be deemed PERFECT and given the gift of eternal life, fitting the mold formed by the 10 commandments that we are not able to fit now!
Love those bullet points!
