Back to Blogspot

Back to blogspot.

After temporary residence elsewhere, and a few thoughts lost along the way, my blog is back here and perhaps after February, when life has calmed down again I will actually start getting some quality time to write.

Worth noting though that the past two weeks have been some of the best days of my uni experience so far.
It snowed here last week, there have been some great times of worship with friends, awesome time spent studying God's word, fun times teaching friends how to cook, the shame of running for the bus three days in a row because I'm always late, fun and games with KUCU, a trip to see a Shakespeare play, a whole lot of friends episodes, meeeeeeetings, not enough sleep, too many meals spent eating out, reading about things that don't really interest me although they should, awesome times partying on down at reflex (90s style!), Preaching Training, another new phone, not quite enough time spent jamming on guitar but some at least, planning for next year, re-learning americanisms, essay writing, talking spanish....

And I'm thankful to God for all of this. For friends, and a good education, for a roof over my head, for money to spend as I wish on food and entertainment, for the chance to know Him more through worship and reading His word, for the opportunity to steward wisely the resources and gifts he's given me.

I'm absolutely and thoroughly blessed in life. God is so good to me.

It saddens me to think of how distracted I get by stresses and cares of this world though, and how easily I sub-consciously strive to conform to earthly patterns and desires.

But it's nice to sit back sometimes and reflect on what's going on, and hopefully in the days that follow I can learn to appreciate more the life God has given me, and the purpose He has created me for.
