It's okay to Procrastinate

I'll be the first to admit that there have been times I have gone to church with a full load on my mind. All I can think of is what I need to do, upcoming tests, events, etc.
Then I realize that Church is the only place where it's actually okay to procrastinate on life. After all, isn't that what church is for? To forget about the outside life and recharge our battery?

This is just a thought like usual, but it's so true. It's so easy to get wrapped up in work and in life, but it's also okay to give ourselves breaks when we are at church. :)

(P.s Seattle pictures are still pending, lol )

Hush, you talk too much

If I were to chose one simple but meaningful thing that I have learned this year, I would say that I have learned we don't always have to reply with full on details when somebody says something to us. For example: If I say your hair is nice, you don't have to say "I did it in 5 minutes", just say thank you! Or If somebody says I miss you, you really don't have to give excuses why you haven't seen each other, just say I miss you too :D. Does that make sense?

Us human beings (and I sure hope you are human!) tend to say more than what is necessary, I know I do that all the time. Having a conversation is much like reading directions, you have to make sure you read the question carefully. Or in this situation, make sure you hear the comment or question carefully in order to respond appropriately. Why say you aren't smart if somebody tells you that you are? They didn't ASK you if you thought you were smart right? They just stated their thought.


Also, some of you know that I just got back from my trip to Seattle and I will be uploading pictures soon! but here is a sneak peak ;)


This was at some funny hat shop... hehe.. Happy Easter!

What Makes You Different From Her?

I want to start off by saying this very important statement I AM ON SPRING BREAK! Gaaaaahhhh I can hardly contain myself lol! I still have to study though :/ Anyway, at some point in past couple of months while I was praying this question popped into my head "What makes me different from her?", or in other terms, what makes some God-serving individuals (I don't want to say christian because that title is used up by too many non-God-serving people), different from others? This is my theory, concept, or whatever you may like to call it. There are just some people who are satisfied with being saved, don't get me wrong being saved is very important! But then there are those who don't just want to say "Father here I am! I made it!" when they are in heaven, they want to say "Father here I am! I brought others with me, and look what I have done!". Sound familiar? I hope so! This is like the parable of talents that can be found in Matthew 24:14-30.

For those that don't know about this parable read below. The parable is about "a man travelling into a far country,who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods" Matt 24:14. He gave one of his servants 5 talents (aka money), gave another servant 2 talents, and one other servant 1 talent. Basically the servants with 5 and 2 talents went out and multiplied what he had given them. Whereas the one with one talent hid it so he wouldn't lose it, and the "man" was upset with him because he didn't do anything productive with it like the other two had done.

So back to my point, when I was thinking about the individuals that I connect the most with, I noticed that all of us had the desire to do more. More than just follow, more than just serve God. Notice that I said individuals I connect the most with, not necessarily see the most. Just because you see, or hang out with some people more than others doesn't mean anything other than they are closer in distance. Another word I would like to point out is desire. Desire and passion both have to be present before anything can be done, or else you will go into something half-heatedly and it might not get finished. I guess I could also say that some people have a desire to do something, while others have a burning desire. This doesn't just apply to church, it is the same concept with work ethic and academics.


So what makes you different from that guy or girl you see at a conference? Also one more thing my pastor says about the friends you pick "Run with race horses if you want to be a race horse, or you will become a donkey if you run with donkeys" :D Hanna, you are a race horse. I have other horses, but you are the funnest to pick on.... hahahaha MUAH!

I also wanted to state my thoughts on a couple of things that are coming up that I am very excited about! Number one is EVERYTHING God is doing (I just had to mention that), but my family from Mexico arrives on Friday, spring break and my trip to Seattle are next week! Also Friday and Saturday I will be taking part of a program at UCSF for students interested in the several schools at UCSF. There are people coming from different parts of California, I believe there are about 100 of us or so? I am a bit nervous though, because I hate arriving places by myself lol.


:) I am very content right now, excited about the future, excited about now and thrilled to know that God is with me in all that I do.

Honestly, your'e not that special

You may be wondering what my title is all about, and I'm about to tell you (goodness, don't rush me!). There are many people that take things WAY too personal, for example: Let's say you waved at somebody and they did not wave back and then you flip out and think they either hate you or are ignoring you. When in reality maybe they didn't see you, are in deep thought, or are simply having a bad day. I have noticed that we tend to take things to a personal level when it is not even needed. So please next time somebody is not all smiles around you, know that they are probably going through something or thinking about something that has absolutely nothing to do with you. Sorry to tell you but the world doesn't revolve around you, or me. It's a simple concept that has been told to us once in our life time but we tend to forget. Just live a happy jolly life k? K, thanks :) On a completely different note, I went to Stanford this past Saturday for a club event and I made a new friend! (the statue) My new friend is proof that some individuals look smarter when they don't talk. Oh, and for those of you that are judgemental I am not throwing up gang signs.
