afternoon thoughts

interesting conversation this afternoon...no need to defend myself. Its funny how people think they know you so well and really they've only really scratched the surface, opened the can. Minor topics, e.g. dancing, lead you to contemplate major ones, immigration and career choices and the future etc...

Dialogue is essential, very essential. They say that talking and aksing questions save people a lot of difficulty later on in life... who knows?

Anyways congratulations today to L & C who are also engaged- fabulous news...CUC peeps are doing it up big...The only thing that's disturbing is that the weddings are gonna be happening without my presence lol!!!


Today's weather has been just FICKLE, one minute the sun is out and the next minute the rain is pouring. BUT that's alright. I was able to get some work done despite the fact that I'm still recovering from this cold and that i just feel so lathargic.

I just cant wait to finish people. Everyone's been telling me that the last leg of the race is always the hardest- TOO RIGHT!!

4 years of studying...i know that actually its gone quite fast but im finding this semester really really really hard. So many things im juggling and sometimes i really feel like sleeping my days away, and settling for mediocre...

Today im just grateful that tomorrow is friday. I need some encouragement and relaxation and that usually always seems to happen over the weekend when i'm not having to do Uni work (well actually sunday is pretty much study day).

There are days like this when you try and try and try to do and do and do and yet you dont, you dont...any remedy? APRIL 10 is the remedy so please hurry up and come, i need that break please!

Strength and wisdom and courage are needed at this stage in life, yes they are!

Isaiah 43
Israel, the Lord who created you says
Do not be afraid- i will save you
I have called you by name- you are mine.

When you pass through deep waters, i will be with you;
you troubles will not overwhelm you
When you pass through the fire, you will not be burnt
the hard trials that come will not hurt you

For i am the lord your god, the holy God of Israel, who saves you.
I will give up Egypt to set you free, I will give up Ethiopia and Seba

I will give up whole nations to save your life, because you are precious to me and because I love you and give you honour.

Do not be afraid- I am with you!

1 Corinthinas 10:13
Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.

Proverbs 12:1
Those who love knowledge want to be told when they are wrong. It is stupid to hate being corrected.

Proverbs 14:1
Your joy is your own; your bitterness is your own. No one can share them with you.

Proverbs 15:13
When people are happy, they smile, but when they are sad, they look depressed

Proverbs 15:22
Get all the advice you can, and you will succeed; without it you will fail.

Proverbs 15:33
Reverence for the Lord is an education in itself. You must be humble before you can ever recive honours.

Prayer is the key and repeating and meditating on the word is the remedy...just gotta keep at it
