Dear No One In Particular,
So instead of studying (for midterms) I find myself blogging and wanting to express my feelings somewhere I could just release them freely. I've {consistently} been so busy and haven't had any time to just relax and be able to type and express how I feel. For a while though stranger, I have been stressed. It's hard to think of a time when I haven't been, because sometimes it's either very obvious or very low-key. Who would've thought that this school year was going to be so busy? I always get envious of people's busy schedules but I have realized the hard way, that I myself, have a busy schedule too, it's just that some of the activities may be different. Don't get me wrong though, I love what I do, and have decided to work hard at each. I have my service, my family, my friends and my school life and community.
I don't have any time for negativity, and for any put-downs or let-downs. Since last year I've learned and experienced a lot and it feels like more than a year since. How could it be true that a year has past? How are the days going by before my very eyes? Say it isn't so.
These troubles I may have, shouldn't hold me back from remembering the many victories I've made and are yet to make.
[Break] I wasn't able to finish this post in one night, but I attended an incredible night at Winter Formal for East Cluster. I really wish that night didn't end, because it was a peak of my week!
It had been one of the best nights I've had in a while because for once, I didn't feel any pain except of course, my feet from dancing in heels. It's been a while too since I've given my heart freely and entirely in worship. I let loose so much through dancing and singing, two of my all time favourite things. My own stress gets to me so much, so that night was definitely worth following through. Why am I allowing myself to be eaten alive by my own thoughts and stress? I always have to bottle it up because some things seem like a waste of time to deal with I guess.

The Lord has greater plans for me that I really need to listen and draw attention to. No distractions or temptations. It just sucks when you feel like you've done everything right, but things don't go your way, right? Though "He strengthens the weary and gives strength to the powerless" - Isaiah 40:29, He continues to be my strength, my rock during any time I face hardship. And I shall never forget His acts of kindness towards me, and all His graces (Psalms 103:2). The Masses I have gone to this past week have been so relevant to my life, and give me so much reassurance from our God. This time during Advent truly is giving me plenty of anticipation for the coming of our Saviour once again this Christmas. Honestly, the only one getting me through all this joy and stress, is our Lord and I shouldn't even waste time worrying because I entrust everything to Him. I wish I could quote everything from the past two Masses I have attended but surely I will slowly quote them on different places.
Please pray for me, whoever you are, and I will pray for you.
Let us have a peace of heart and peace of mind, and rejoice in the Lord!

1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-2
Sincerely the Lord's, Patricia."Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all;hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."
