Determination!

Ok might be too early for drama, but this is determination not to fail any of my classes! While talking to a good friend of mine and listening to The Prayer Cycle, I decided to put more effort into my work even though it's almost the end of the semester. I had almost forgotten that God wants me to get my degree so that I can bring good into the world. Even though my body aches and I have been getting frequent headaches I should remember that I can accomplish anything as long as I have God with me and work hard. I have made it this far, I must succeed! Even though at the moment I have no readers, I will work hard and accomplish my goal =).

This semester I had forgotten about why I did so well last semester, I had been able to give my near full devotion to God and tried my best to bring people to Him. This semester I had gotten distracted by someone who was not a kind person, and divided myself from my true friends in a time of extreme stress and had thrown a lot of work onto myself. So for tonight I have decided to paste this, a prayer for students.

God of Light and Truth,
thank you for giving me
a mind that can know
and a heart that can love.
Help me to keep learning every day of my life,
for all knowledge leads to You.
Let me be aware of your presence
in all things and at all times.
Encourage me when work is difficult
and when I am tempted to give up;
encourage me when my brain seems slow
and the way forward is difficult.
Grant me the grace to put my mind to use
exploring the world you have created,
confident that in you there a wisdom
that is real.
Amen.

-Blessings, Lucas

Privacy

So I had been looking for something to be a bit more privet, and I think I found it. After doing a little searching on my interests I discovered that the majority of my friends have no blogspot, and the majority of people on here into God are girls.

I know it seems odd to want to be private online, but this works for me for now.

Hello!

My name is Lucas, you don't need to know my last name. I took a break from blogging a few years ago after an accident involving a teacher who went from my worst enemy to one of my best friends! Of course this was when I was sixteen, spoiled, ungrateful, reckless, and didn't live for God.

Now I am twenty, matured (I think), in college, and trying my best to serve God (TRYING MY BEST!)

To give a little more info about myself I am Catholic, Mexican decent, and in college. My major is English for teachers (although really my dream is to write, teaching isn't too bad). I like to write, draw, listen to music, and cook. My favorite bands and singers are Alanis Morissette, Flyleaf, Evanescence, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Lady GaGa, Metalica, Paramore, Barlow Girl, Matt Maher, Brandon Heath, Meredith Andrews, and gosh there's just too many bands to list! I love to watch movies and read books. I will admit I am a Twilight saga fan lol, but my library consists of a very wide variety of books.

As stated above I am Catholic and I don't consider myself religious because I feel I don't deserve to call myself that. I do my best to do what God wants from me and follow my own dreams at the same time. Most of what I write about is religious fiction though, I have two books completed and waiting to be published (and a screenplay collecting dust =( ). I prefer to keep some portions of my life private (romance, some emotional issues, etc). If it's not on here then it's off limits let's put it that way lol. At the moment I am a student and finals are in two weeks so I am stressed out @_@! I will try to give more later.

-Blessings, Lucas
