what you want, what you need

it’s good to be aware of how you manage money, it’s another thing to be paralyzed by it.

it’s one thing to wish and dream for something, it’s another to know that it’s just not the right time.

it’s one thing to realize something about yourself, it’s another to deny it.

even in these times as uncertain as now, there is a peace that transcends understanding.

the downtown site worked on prepping for ocr materials during mon-tuesday and half of today. we finally got to meet some of the students that were on campus today. it was good to see them and get to know them. some of them were apathetic and annoyed but most of them were open and willing to listen. this year feels different. uic looks different; it’s become a place i call home. it is a commuter school and that makes uic less home-y. the prison-like/depressing architecture only makes it worse. i pray God will show up with such a powerful presence this year that all will know that he exists and that he loves them. when i think about uic, it makes me think of the words; loneliness and apathy. i’m generalizing and even biased because that’s how i used to be but i think it covers a good amount of people that come to this school. people need some Christ’s lovin’~

i’ve been waking up at 7:20 or earlier consistently. it’s weird because i’ve been sleeping later than i used to at home. still i have yet to wake up any later. i take it as a blessing.
