been home and too lazy to update, mainly cuz i haven't got that much to say.....

check out "warring" instead tho. :)

What does it mean to "walk worthy of the Lord" (Col 1:10)? It obvious doesn't mean that we should act in a way to deserve or merit or earn God's favor--that would contradict everything else said in the Bible. Nor should we be calling attention to our worth which God is obligated to acknowledge.

John Piper said that it means "to walk in a way that the Lord deserves from us, not in a way that we deserve from the Lord". Certainly it does say in Col. 1:10 that we should "fully please Him". This looks away from our worth, but to show the worth and grace and power of the Lord, as by our walk we should bring glory and honor to Him. It says to me to act in such a way as to reflect the great value and the glorious nature of God and the gospel through which I am saved. Paul goes on to tie this in to "being fruitful in every good work...". Above all things, faith and its fruits fits the worth of God. I pray to look to God's infinite worth for our help and satisfaction.

It's finals time! i only have 2: wednesday and friday. Not that my work is done by friday....noooooooo, it's just beginning in fact. With two projects and grad school apps, i'll be working up to christmas. can't believe i'm going back to floriday THIS saturday....perhaps it just doesn't feel right cuz after i get back to florida, i'll still be working nonstop on my projects. :P

Somehow, all that food in my fridge has to disappear in a week....hmmmmmm. =D

yay! i'm gonna go see yao ming in march during spring break. :) :) i'm so excited cuz i've never been to a nba game before...poor me. oh, and also andre miller!!!! he rocks! he's one my fav PGs. well, i guess steve francis isn't bad either. but yeah, ain't that cool? :)

i'm going to bed now.....after coding for the past 2 days, i'm ready to take a sabbatical for a couple of days. that doesn't realli get rid of the list of classes that needs to be coded and the headaches gotten from looking at java api's for hrs on end.

today's message on thanxgiving and gratitude was realli good, and esp. made me aware of the minuteness of my "dilemmas" and "worries". God has already solved the three biggest problems that u and i will ever have in life: wrath, judgement, and sin.

I'm in an anti "stuff" mood....things(i.e. things to buy/own/gawk at) don't realli interest much....perhaps i am realizing their temporalness....or perhaps i'm just not easily amused anymore. or perhaps i'm becoming like my parents! over the yrs i've gradually become more and more aware of how frugal they are....and when the result of that is to pay for my tuiton and apt. and food, it makes me realize how taken for granted those things are to me. makes me ashamed for wanting the luxuries that they don't even have. always a good reminder to not spend impulsively and senselessly, and to give praise to God always to even what i often take for granted (after all, that is what's commanded of us in Heb. 13:15).

i am still watching a good amount of tv tho (avg. an hr mebee 2 hr a day?)--perhaps that's the next to go.....altho probably not bball/football games. :D
