Untitled Day Well Spent- so far

Thank you Weiheng for taking your time out to speak with me today. Gosh, I believe that I have learned a lot from you and that I can help myself after today. There were many things that we talked about today but I think that they are in my subconsciously. The most important thing that I learned today was that I need good time management skills. Without this, my life will start to crumble and fall in ways that could determine my future with God and my relationships with people. If I start to plan out my days and my daily responsibilities, my future will be looking bright. Weiheng told me some of his top priorities and think that they should be mine too.

1. God
2. Family
3. Church
4. School

If I live my life with these priorities, I believe that I can change in ways God has planned out for me and that I can keep strong relationships with those around me. As a result of keeping these as the tip top of my time management things, I will have to plan out my time from now on. I will have to think ahead. I will have to think about the decisions I make today and how they will affect me in the future. Hopefully none of them I will regret. I need to put God first. Without God, everything else will crumble. If God is number one, I know that He will help keep me on track so that my daily decisions on what I do with my time is productive. My daily decisions should be planned out and I should know what to do with my time. I should plan out my whole week and who i need to spend time with and what I want to get done. Perhaps, after homework, I can pursue a hobby or something else that i can keep dedicated to. The time I have is precious. Everyone in the world has the same amount of hours in a day and its how we use God's time that counts. If I use it correctly, I can make the proper relationships with my family and friends and I can be successful. Church is definitely something that has changed me. Weiheng told me that from the first time he saw me to this day, I have changed and I will continue to change but with time. I will learn slowly as I get more experience. Then one day I may be Weiheng talking to the next generation of this church. Maybe my friends have seen the change in me, but I haven't shown my family any. Perhaps my social skills and relationships have improved and that I can make more friends easier, I haven't made the relationship with my family closer. I've just failed to tell them the truth of my heart and self and to use my time correctly with them. It's the relationships in this world that count and that can make wonderful. The relationship with God, the relationships with family, the relationships with people, the relationships with my church, all matter in this life and time needs to be spent to make these relationships.

When Weiheng said that our church is growing, he said that he can see hundreds of people in church. He said that he can see everyone of us growing and that we have changed from a year ago.

With God first, I need to also think about the reality of my life. Of course I need to put Him first and that i need to believe in Him, but my life will be nothing if I don't have him watching over my reality. I need God to give me time management skills to determine my own SAT scores. I need God to motivate me to concentrate on my homework. I need God to dedicate myself to things that are important and time well spent. I need Him so I can use the time I have so I can accomplish something in a day. If I think about the day, I want to to be a successful day with lots of things accomplished. Then maybe one day, in a successful one, i can say that I've attained a higher attention span, became a better trumpet player, strengthened the bonds between me and God and his children, that I've had a successful study session. I need to be creative when it comes to my time. Weiheng said that we need creativity when it comes to our time. How can we use it to its fullest. He said perhaps if he wanted to spend time with David Choi and that he wanted to watch a movie, he would go to the movies with him, or if he wanted to study, they would have a study session. I believe that I can be successful and that I can use my time as good as he does. I believe that I can use the time now that I am young so that my future can be set. I need to learn to discipline myself so I won't end up broken and empty. I need to use my high school life doing this. I need to find some goals to pursue and also some talents to improve with character because talents can get as beneficial as it goes with your own character because it your talents only go as high as your character and how you use them.

And so I wish to dedicate my self to God and pray and praise him with all my heart and all my soul. I put him in the highest place in my life.

And so I wish to spend more time with family and that our relationship will remain stable and loving. I need to apologize to them for my faults and mistakes that I have done upon them so that i won't be twisted up on the inside and hurt my relationship with them.

And so I wish to keep strong to the church. If I do, I know that I will become a better person and witness things that are blessings to others and blessings unto me.

And so I wish to use my time more wisely when it comes to school. Without my heart into school, I will fall astray in life and I may never pick myself back up again.

And so I thank you Weiheng for the time you have spent with me and you truly have been a blessing. GBU (:

May I continue to become a better person and witness you Lord.

Amen.

    Yes, indeed, relationships of love only matter in this world^^; Experience God's love and share it to others like your family(:
    And as for doing something active, find something you would like to do and have a passion for. No matter how many times you fall God is there to pick you back up.

  2. I can't come up with any insightful comment that you, Weiheng, and Winnie hasn't already said
    on Saturday, I told Deborah about my dad being not so enthusiastic about me going to church, and she said that even though God comes first in our lives, we still need to be able to manage school because that's really important in our lives right now.
    glad to see 2009 has already inspired so much positive change in you (: see you around, sofmore!
