To Seek Him Only.

Whoo! A picture from my DSLR! Okay, I know, it’s not that great of a picture. I’m still learning alot of new techniques since I’ve had no experience whatsoever with DSLRs before. I actually find it ironic that I don’t have many pictures of food so far… I should probably start changing that.

Mmm, above is the well known tri-tip sandwich from Brazil Cafe. I never fail to surprise my roommate that I have eaten at various restaurants in Berkeley and have not been to Brazil Cafe till yesterday, haha. Anyways, it was quite a pleasant meal with my roommates, especially since these are probably one of the last meals that we will have together as a “house” before I move out. We plan to also have a OB Chicken and Cheeseboard run since Erica hasn’t been there yet. I’m looking forward to not only the food, but to also spend time with them since I may not see them as much next year.

I always seem to say that I will update this blog at a regular basis and I often fail to do so. Well, here we go.

Last week was rather eventful since I, like other students, had a stack of projects, presentations, or exams to complete before the sweet weekend/dead week came. Surprisingly, I came down with some infection too that hindered my studies for about a day or two. I also had difficulty walking to classes due to the lack of energy and felt faint. Looking back though, it reminded me again about how little power I had over my schedule and to not be so confident as to what I will do over the week (James 4:13-17) since I would just be boasting in my own arrogance. I guess it was nice too since I was able to catch up on some sleep even though… I feel like I get enough sleep as is.

After reading the book of Proverbs, I was rebuked many times by my humility, or lack there of. It also warns the prone of abandoning God’s word of wisdom and to hold fast to His words. He instructs to not just tolerate our wicked sins, but to “avoid it, do not pass by it; turn away from it and pass on. (Proverbs 4:15 NAS)” We encounter many moments were we are tempted to sin; however, we are to avoid it completely and to not take even one step into its darkness. However, there are many times that we fail, step into the darkness, and stumble. Thanks be to God for his mercy and to forgive us of our imperfections through the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross.
