Discipline.

I have never been the same .
As started my new semester here in New Zealand, I have learn a lot whether is from my God,family friends, the environment. Everything seems new to me here. I got to adapt to the time difference. Trying to constantly keep in touch with my family and friends and yes I did have some misunderstanding with some people and I have learn the hard way. God showed me how to see the way He sees things.
I have learn to discipline myself. Waking up 2 hours before class starts. So that I can spend time praying and seeking God in the early hours and I could have time for my breakfast , hahaha . Both are essential to my daily life.
I need spiritual food which is God's word to keep me going day by day. Building up my faith and I need food for my physical being. Lol.
Who doesn't right?

Anyway,It was never easy during the first few weeks.I struggle to wake up at time but I discipline myself to wake up early. Of course sleeping early would help but with amount of assessment given i couldn't. At times I feel " oh Another 5 mins ,I'll wake up" but the holy spirit has been teaching me.
First 3 weeks of classes , I was fine. Then suddenly I felt irritated by the surrounding. Some people in class are super proud of themselves. I felt like Ugh. Just keep quiet when they wanna throw out their answer thinking it is better than other in class. I just hated people like that. The pride in them.
I felt so far from home and I just wanna go home. A few days I had that anger towards them but one day as I prayed I cried, I told God " I don't wanna hate people. I don't wanna be a 2 hearted person "
( if there is such thing as that) One heart want to know God the other one hating people and stuff.Thats what I meant. I prayed about it. Telling God I wanna love them like how You love me. The next day that particular person I was talking about about came up to me and said
" hey, i wanna be your friend" . I was shocked. Seiously No joke.
I wouldn't expect it to be an immediate response but God know the desire of our heart (:
We are pretty close now. God has shown me how to love like Him.
A Love without measure.
Being still in His Awesome presence.
You know when you honor God. He honors you back.
As week goes by without realizing I was waking up on time. Everything was going so well.
I became more disciplined. Its all because of God. When you honor Him , He honors you back.
I didn't have difficulty waking up early in the morning wether its 7 am or even 6 am. Its fine with me.
Now its a joy to be waking up early morning and able to spend my quality time with Him. I need Jesus .
I cant go on with my day not Thanking Him,Asking for forgiveness.
You know the feeling when you feel you have done something wrong its like a burden in your heart?
Yup. That's what I feel when I don't pray. Uneasiness.

Not only waking up is easy for me now. Everything goes smoothly as planned and I surrender everything to God. He just prepare the way and takes control of the situations. All those irritation with the people around me and other things it is long gone. Taken away .
Jesus died for a purpose.
He is my provider.
Emmanuel.
Praying isn't just to ask what you need. Its a time you spent with God.
Giving Glory to Him. Giving Thanks. Asking Forgiveness and Confess and yes Supplication.
A.C.T.S.
I would just like to encourage you to just discipline yourself , yes it will be hard to wake up and get use to a whole new routine but you're not doing it in your own strength. Ask God for strength and He will give it to you. I'm still having difficulties at times no doubt as I am not perfect but the desire to know God more has given me hope.


A song that has been a blessing to me and I hope it will bless you all.
