Amppax Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just thought I'd share a great prayer with y'all, it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. [quote] Prayer for Union with Jesus[indent][b]Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.[/b][/indent][indent][b]I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.[/b][/indent][indent][b]I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.[/b][/indent][indent][b]When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.[/b][/indent] [/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amppax Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Finished my freshman year, now I'm a junior! Its sad to think that I've only got two years left. This year went so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's really not surprising, I spent 1 semester as a freshman, 1 semester as a sophomore, 2 semesters as a junior, and 4 semesters as a senior. If I only wanted one major I would've gotten out in 3 years instead of 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyP89 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Amppax' timestamp='1336398985' post='2428062'] Just thought I'd share a great prayer with y'all, it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. [/quote] This kinda reminds me of Bl. Charles' abandonment prayer... [quote] Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures - I wish no more than this, O Lord. Into your hands I commend my soul: I offer it to you with all the love of my heart, for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands without reserve, and with boundless confidence, for you are my Father.

I'm now realizing that even though I had a week more than most people, I'm going to be struggling to get my room all packed up.

[/quote] I took a normal load, I just brought in a years worth of credit (27), and took 16 credits last semester and 19 this semester. I'm double majoring, but I'm barely going to be able to squeeze in all my requirements in three years. Edited May 11, 2012 by Amppax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Oh taking a year's worth of credit in with you worked out well! That stinks about struggling to fit the requirements... Brian, I had enough I could have double majored in PoliSci with only two more classes, but got out in four. I took 18 per semester to keep the hours and grades up for the PROMISE Scholarship that paid my tuition for all four years! It's sort of like NJ STARS..

[/quote] It's not too bad, it just means 19 credits a semester from here on out (15 if I drop honors) and summer classes next summer (Hopefully in Gaming, Austria!!!!). My last semester I'll probably be doing a my History Thesis and Theology Thesis/Seminar (haven't decided if I just want to do a double thesis, or just seminar for the theology, we'll see) but I'll only be taking 13 credits or so.
