think philippians 4:8, philippians 4:8!
It was one of those mornings today. I heard my alarm but then went back to sleep; the bus didn't turn up, and then the train was late; it was pouring down rain and I stepped in way too many puddles, and I got the bottoms of my jeans sopping wet. Then, when I reached the uni library, they had these new stupid gates installed where you needed to swipe your library card through this thingy in order to get in! Argh! And then, as I went to get my card out of by bag, my scarf got stuck in the zipper of my backpack. And I swiped my card the wrong way around!
And so, after I was done with the library, I made my way up to the Design building (us design kiddies get a building all to ourselves, hee hee). I was walking past the front bit of the ABC building when this car came towards me and honked at me. I thought that they were angry and wanted me to get out of the way, and by then, I'd just had enough! In my head, I was like, "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, OKAY?! DON'T HONK AT ME!" Turns out that it was my friend Jenny and her boyfriend Ju! Oops! It was a lovely surprise. Ju dropped Jenny off, and I got to walk with her up to the Design building. And it reminded me not to get so pooey about things sometimes.
I'm really trying to be very positive about this difficult time. I want to have faith in God that he's put me in this stressful time for a reason, and I want to have faith that He'll get me through it all. I wrote out this timetable yesterday of all the dates when everything is due, and what I should be doing each day. And right at the top of the page, in a big chunky texta, I wrote, "The timetable of HORROR!" I wanted to draw a scary ghost or skeleton, but I thought that that might be a bit too much. But then I couldn't look at the timetable anymore, because it made me sad and annoyed. And so I put all of this masking tape over the title and wrote, "A really excellent time of being BUSY!" My sister says that I'm being sarcastic, but I'm really not. I want to appreciate this time of being busy, because it is a blessing. I want to put in 100% wherever I am, and work as though I am working for God.

Finally finished the thing I was designing for my interdisciplinary project due tomorrow. I am still at uni. But hurrah, I finished! Three cheers for God, who gave me ideas and helped me to design at the eleventh hour! I am very hungry. I haven't had my dinner yet. Yes, that's one project down and two more to go- which means that I am getting closer and closer to those delicious things known as THE WINTER HOLIDAYS. Well actually, tomorrow it'll be one down and two to go etc etc, because that's when I'm presenting. Okay, turbo-presenter-Carla coming up... |
