I'm sick, but not dead. That's a mercy, eh?

But ishhh my throat hurts. :(

Today I organized my prayer requests into different days of the week so that they do not overwhelm me! This is exciting, hopefully it'll stick.

Well, God continues to be merciful and much more faithful than I am.
His mercy/grace has been shown in:

• Good grades this semester
• Some good international friends
• Sustaining me monetarily
• A car: I get to see my wonderful Durham/Chapel Hill friends pretty often!
• Good times with family living at home
• The girls at College Ministry who have befriended me and encouraged me
• A wonderful conference last week with Brindges International/NYC trip (it was safe and fuuun)
• 3 days to spend time with my wonderful NJ family

 Now it technically is morning on January 5th! I have full confidence that God will be merciful every morning in 2010, and that I will not post every morning in 2010.

I might as well post some New Years Resolutions here:

• Spend minimal time on Facebook (30 mins a day or less?)
• Steps: don't get emails from fb, don't read home page
• Goal: Be more productive.
  
• Don't spend money going out to eat this semester
• Steps: pack lunches for school the night before, go to coffee with friends instead of lunch 
• Goal: save money for bridesmaid dress and other wedding duties.
• Don't buy any more winter clothes
• Rationale: I already had my shopping spree in New York :)
  
• Always write out goals for the day when I don't know what to do with myself
• Goal: not to be lazy/unproductive those days.
• Find a routine time in my class schedule to meditate on the Word and pray. 
• Goal: Cultivate a desire for Christ and His Word.

The whole exercise thing... I'm taking a PE class so I kind of have to. So no resolution needed there. Not that I would keep it if I made one.
