Week 15 - Comments on Group's Blogs

Kara:

It sounds like you’re making great progress on you virtue of industry, and as one of my best friends, I am so happy for you. I think you will excel wherever you go because of the drive you exert. I will help keep you accountable, of course, and I think you have a great start, especially since you have 2 months. I admire your determination to get everything done before the end of the semester and wish you the best in your endeavors! : D

Aubrey:

Sounds like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, minus the work of course. Your thanksgiving sounds much like mine, especially the football part. : ) That’s definitely my favorite!

Daniel:

I loved all your virtues! My favorite list by far. I thought you did an excellent job of naming them. My favorite was the virtues on moderation and modesty and flexibility because those are two of my biggest struggles as well. Which one do you feel you need to develop the most?

Christina:

Thanks for the website link. It’s a great idea and I appreciate you taking the time to explain it : D. I love the list of things you are thankful for, because it reminded me to be thankful for the little things too, like sunny days and a bed to sleep in every night.

I’d like to respond to the question you posed.

Do you mean the least religious a person is, the least fulfilled their life will be?

I wouldn’t necessarily say that the more religious a person is, the more their life is fulfilled. Instead I would say that in my life personally, I want God to be my fulfillment. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." I feel like with God as the top priority in my life, everything else with fall into place because of His divine plan for me. This is why I want to seek him whole-heartedly, to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5) Jeremiah 10:23 says, "O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps." This is the principle on how I want to live my life, with God as my guide.

Thanks for prompting me to write that. It was uplifting and eye-opening for me to talk about : D
