I just finished my last exam, and now I'm working on my final paper for our Scottish History class. I just remembered how stressed I was about this class before I came to Scotland, I was meant to read two thick, boring books for the class over the summer. I tried but was unsuccessful, but it turns out the books were pleasure-reading. Relieved. It's 2am, I'm working on my paper, meanwhile my flatmate is so stressed with school and speaking to her mum about it. A thought just crossed my mind, how lucky she is to be able to call her mum at this hour and talk to her and feel understood, and have someone to lean on. Then the Lord just corrected me there, I have a Father I can call on, He neither sleeps nor slumbers, His ear is inclined to hear my prayer and my cries...He is my comforter, my best friend, my provider, He holds my destiny, He has only good things prepared for me, He is my standby and my helper, ah He won the victory for me. I am so spoiled really and just only figured this out now. I hope I can bring some comfort to my friend, but I don't know how without referring to the hope that is Jesus. Anyways, so my paper, I'm trying to change the topic because it's now boring, but Jesus says no, let your no be no and your yes be yes, do what you said you'd do, don't run away from it now when you chose it in the beginning, with all freedom with you and plenty choices available, you chose this one, stick to it. Some of us need to learn this life principle ya'll, stick to what you committed to doing, even when you don't feel like it anymore.
Tomorrow I leave Edinburgh Scotland, I just got back from having dinner earlier tonight with friends. So I wanna give a shout out to all who made my experience memorable. First, my Pomona people, you know you rock! I was afraid we wouldn't click, but we did and we had fun! Hannah you are the ever-smiling, ever-positive, social one. You make everyone feel welcome even without knowing it. Loved talking and laughing with you, and you taught me that walking fast saves time and makes you look important and purposeful, yay! Kaitlyn, your enthusiasm at life, learning and fun enticed me...you reminded me that we only have so long to live, better make the most of it, and take pictures while you're at it! Gary, oh dear Gary you are just the best. You are calm and contented, your words gentle yet powerful. Loved how just hardworking you are and how you love to walk, I'll try that out sometime in the future haha. Eric,our tall one, you are the knight in shining armor! No really Eric, I just love you, loved bumping into you, loved chatting with you, loved how when someone was saying something silly, we would totally understand and start laughing. Good times, man, you are a good man, thanks for telling me how Twilight ends ;) Alex, you are the one who knows stuff...I always felt safe and secure knowing you were there, we wouldn't get lost, and everything was well. You carry yourself ever so maturely and humbly, you really did inspire me...And last but not least, Jin!! Jin you made my life great ah man! You are the cool guy, like literally, check out all our photos, you look like the cool one, which you are.
