FREEDOM

i am still in shock that i made it through third year alive. what's more, i am amazed at the countless blessings God has poured out on me these past eight months. i'm astounded at the sheer amount of undertakings i accomplished (school and otherwise) by His grace. if there's one thing i learned this year (over and over again, might i add) it's that God honours those who honour Him. in everything.

anywho, i read a really good quote today that i just had to share with the world. so here it is:

Teach us, Good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and not to ask for any reward save that of knowing that we do Thy will. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
-- St. Ignatius of Loyola --

Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
~Luke 17:33~
