Dang, attempting to pursue things by sheer will-power is so hard, and at times discouraging. To be honest, school is pretty exhausting. Life is pretty exhausting, and it's so easy to get discouraged. We're so weak. I'm really weak. And it's so often that I get deeply immersed into my duties and tasks of life, that I often lose sight of my purpose and my goal. It's seriously so frustrating at times because I know that I'm not supposed to be this way as a Christian who is saved by God's grace. All the more need to be surrendering our pride and driving it to the cross.
May the gospel be our focus, that all may be done by and through God's grace, as He has already shown us through the cross, that salvation is by grace and grace alone.
Lord teach me what grace means, and what it means to live by grace.
I can't wait 'til finals are over. My bones need some refreshing. haha :]
amen.

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God
school is a ministry given - and its wrapped in the gospel of the grace of God =]
you're almost done!!
rest will come, it will come.
