It's a relaxing Saturday. I have lot's of work to do.
But,
These last few weeks in Ontario before the summer comes,
I am going to enjoy them, every moment.
Cherish them. Make memories.... :)
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10

The Blues of My Secret Addiction
I can hardly open my laptop without my fingers typing the word that opens the blue screen.
I can't sit in class without checking that blue screen always being open.
I can't get homework done because the blue screen is always open.
I can't focus on God because the blue screen is always open.
My secret addiction.
It isn't healthy any longer. I don't know how to live without Facebook.
So what I have decided is that I have to take this time. Not to seclude myself. Not to go away from the world, or totally put everything to the side. But to refocus. To reconsider my priorities. To let God take centre stage again. And to be His, fully.
Doing everything to His glory and honour.
I can do all things, through Christ!

it isn't always all positive
Considering the time of the school year, with the last classes and final exams coming very, very close, I am doing okay. I haven't felt stressed or overwhelmed.
As I sat in class today it hit me though... I am actually feeling a bit 'grey' today. Matching the weather I guess. Every now and then the sun pokes through, but then the clouds cover, the cold wind blows, and snow flakes fall from heaven. I'm done with winter, done with this semester, and just feel done.
I thought, eh may as well read some encouraging notes to myself. So reading previous blogs is what I ended up doing. Ugh. There are times that I can hardly believe I wrote those things. It's just confusing. Fingers tap the keyboard and words appear. Thoughts race and sentences come to be. I don't even know how they get there, where they come from, or where I go with my thoughts. Some how they end up on paper...
But I don't always feel that way. I am not always in positive moods. I too get discouraged and overwhelmed.
Then to trust in the promise.
Believe that I can do all things, only through Christ.
See the good when it doesn't seem to look to good...
