It’s true! (: God has been so good to me this week it’s crazy! It’s amazing to see how God’s goodness is truly evident in our lives even when we don’t acknowledge it as often as we should. So undeserving of His love, grace, and mercy towards us. This pass week has been filled with so many blessings and struggles, praise the Lord that He has sustained me through this week! (: I’m not sure how I want to structure this post… so I think I’ll do bullet points, because bullet points are cool. mhm.

• I started Discipleship this week! (: One on one time with Ate Loris is most definitely a blessing for me. Even though we’ve only had one session, it was pretty good! It really amazed me to find out that there was so much information in just the first nine verses of 1 Corinthians! SO COOL. AH. I love it! I’m so excited for our upcoming sessions (: 
• CPYF also started discipleship on friday! I’m also excited for this! (: Yay small groups! <3
• I finally got to hang out with Ate Liz this week and help her out with the babies. (: It was a joy being able to help out with Maddie and the different errands. The most exciting part about it is that she’s asked me if I’d like to continue to babysit and help her and Kuya Erwil out! :D AH SO EXCITING.
• I started reading a new devotional! Purity by Lydia Brownback. I’ve read her other devotionals, Joy and Contentment, and so far they have been pretty encouraging and convicting! I’m excited to read this one because I feel that purity is most definitely something that is important for not only myself but for everyone as well. 
• Three tests down, One more to go!
• I almost got into a bad car accident after leaving bible study. :( We were making a left hand turn at the green arrow and a lady in a minivan went on a red light. Twas almost like a head on collision. We were only a few inches away from getting hit but Praise the Lord for His grace! Thankfully we were all safe and got home safely. (:

God is most certainly good all the time. <3

Valentine’s day! Hah. Like you guys didn’t already know that. Everyone that I know that’s single keeps complaining that they don’t have someone there to love, someone to love them, roses, chocolate, and the list goes on. It made me realize that they don’t know what true love is. 

 ⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. ⁹ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹²No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4:7-12 (ESV)

God’s everlasting love for us is the only kind of love that can truly satisfy our hearts. He is the source of our true joy. Our joy shouldn’t be found in the material things (Even though they are nice!) it should be found solely in Christ! 

If you are single this Valentine’s day, it’s quite alright. Singleness is a blessing from God! Use your time in singleness to work on yourself first and your relationship with Him before being in a relationship with anyone else. Instead of searching for the right person, we should first become the right person. Check yo self before you wreck yo self. Mhm. (:

<3! 

So Samantha, what do you do at 1 AM? Oh you know, the usual, just crocheting mustaches. That’s it. 

Mm Nutella Hot Chocolate! <3

See this girl? Yeah this is Angie. LOL JK. (: 

I love talking to this girl! We spend like forever talking about different things and different topics and there is never a boring moment with her. I’m really glad that I can call her one of my sisters in Christ and I know that she will always be there no matter what! LOVE YOU ICA! <3 TEEHEE.

P.S. She didn’t really cut her hair, BUT ISN’T IT CUTE?! (:

“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” -Psalm 139:14

God made me the way He wanted to make me. Insecurities? So unnecessary especially when He loves me and that’s all I would ever need. (:
