sabbath school: pt. II.

oh gosh, i'm super tired right now. =/

but i have to write at least a little bit.

cause if i don't discipline myself to do it right now,

then i never will.

but before i continue my story,

i need to give a shout-out to ambyr.

hahhahhahahahahhhahhha.

thanks suelynn for the 11 comments that you left

after reading all my posts. x]

you're just that kind of girl huh? ;)

so anyways,

where did i leave off?

ahh, there..

so i told God, "okay, i'll give that testimony that i've been wanting to share."

but as i was planning what i was going to say & such,

i had an epiphany.

more like a reality check.

my relationship with God hadn't been the best.

i'd been skipping out on worships and prayers lately.

& this thought came to mind:

"how in the world am i going to be expected to lead others closer to God,

when i myself am not close to Him right now?"

it's like the blind leading the blind.

so i decided that if i was going to in any way lead out in sabbath school the next day,

i needed to spend some quality time with the One that i was going to be pointing people to.

my sleep deprivation headaches were setting in, so i decided to wake up early the next morning, spend QT with my Father, & then plan sabbath school.

so i did.

i got up at 7:15 am, grabbed my Bible & something small to eat,

and took it to our table outside in our backyard.

that devotional time was a much-needed reconnection.

like a re-fueling.

a "going back to the hub."

for those of you who were at PUC college days.

it brought me back to those days when i used to sit outside every morning & have worships in our backyard.

those were intimate moments.

no one was awake yet.

the hustle and bustle of getting ready for school hadn't started yet.

it was just me, God, and the light spring breeze as an added bonus.

He always felt just a little bit closer during those times.

it made me so sad that all this time, i've been missing out on that.

agh, i'm getting headaches again. i need to go sleep.

note to self on where to pick up:

+ found proapt.

+ actual testimony.

+ kareem.

+ personal message.
