Hmmm I use to think that not struggling was much better than struggling...
I think I'm still right, but I guess if I'm struggling then Satan is trying to stumble me.
But still I don't understand why I'm having such a hard time with this struggle...
25If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house. -mark 3:25-27
Satan... get out of my house... You cannot win here.

unashamed
hmm been a long time since I wrote in here. It seems weird to talk about my thoughts but I guess I'll give it a try.
So it's only been a day since I've gotten back from LA, and if I had to sum up the trip, I would say it was pleasant. Besides the annoying traffic, stupid parking, and atmosphere... I would say LA is a decent place. It was really good hanging out with good friends in a different area. But honestly whether it be in Norcal, Socal, or anywhere else I think I would always have a good time with this certain group of friends. So overall I don't really miss LA too much because my wonderful bed is here, but I do miss being around my friends.
Even though this was a vacation for me, God taught me a few things from this trip.
The first being... worship is so essential to my life. For 5 days I played with my friends, but I never really got a chance to worship God, and to dwell in His presence. And because of that I felt like someone close to me died. Next time if I'm ever in LA... I think I'll stay for Sunday service...
The second being... only God can fulfill us. After being in the presence of my awesome friends, it was kinda lonely yesterday and today. But again after worshiping God, the emptiness went away.
The third and lastly being... to be faithful about my prayers. The last lesson is super random, but God somehow reminded me to be faithful about my prayers. Psalm 145:17-19
And with that I conclude my post about my vacation to LA, and the lesson that God has taught me this past week.
