Sleep deprivation and end of termness...
Man alive! im SO tired! But I dont really have the motivation to do anything about it! So many good conversations are to be had from staying up till the early hours! But unfortunately my body clock has been set to getting up early for the past 3 months or something stupid! Something in me cant physically stay asleep after 8.30/9.00!
Everyone seems to be struggling at the moment and have been for some time. It feels like punching against a brick wall at times! Every time I find some joy again or some motivation to enjoy life I realise that no-one else is! I think without God how would any of us carry on?! When we try and do things in our own strength, its never enough, but learning to do things in Gods strength is also hard and I dont always understand how to do that, but I guess were not meant to right?! Any hoo, time for some lyrics I think!
Like the angels, brenton brown
When I am sinking down, when I am lost at sea
No solace to be found, no ground beneath my feet
I turn to you as i go down, i reach for you through roaring waves
My only hope is in Your arms, my only prayer is that you'd save me
Cause you make me soar like the angels
You let me walk on the water
You let me run with white horses
Jesus my strength when all is gone
You are my strength when all is gone
When i am all alone, no land is in my sight
All others lost from view, and comes the darkening night
I reach for you as i go down,
i look to you through wind and waves
My only hope is in Your arms,
my only prayer is that you'd save me
Cause you make me soar like the angels
You let me walk on the water
You let me run with white horses
Jesus my strength when all is gone
You are my strength when all is gone
Hello!
Hey there! Not updated for a while cos I havent really had much to say. Life is um, interesting and challenging. But God remains good and constant and to quote lex buckley who qouted the bible, 'though I walk through the valley I wont be afraid for Jesus you are with me, holding me close.'
I think aswell that often God is closer than we think He is and we are doing better than we think we are. Well thats definately true for me anyway!
It was the last C.U yesterday for the year and for some ppl, there last one before they finish uni :( It was a very emotional night and not everything(well that me and lucy planned) went the way we'd hoped for. But God still used it for His purpose and was glorified. Its so hard sometimes to trust in Him and give it all over to Him, but only when we do that can He truly do His will.
Message for Helen cos it wont post on her blog! (Not sure what thats about!)
-Gardening looking good, glad you enjoyed the singing :) I wanna join a gospel choir! When and where do they meet? xxxx
Sicky poos :( and politics!
I's a sicky poo! :( Couldnt go to work today, so evan less money for Emma... I got no energy and my killer cold came back-Hes a nasty pants, I dont like him!
Anyhooo, enough of feeling sorry for myself and being slightly crazy! It was the local elections yesterday and I completely forgot to register, but nevermind. I still struggle to get my head round them really, like why do ppl not always vote for the party they want in power in them and what is tactickle(sp?) voting, I think I know but I'm not entirely sure. All I care about really is that the conservatives dont ever get into power again! Not sure I like any of the other parties either, but by process of illimination I would vote labour. I just feel passionately that what the conservatives stand for, ie being self sufficiant and expecting the poor to help themselves, type thing, is just wrong and not something I can ever support. I realise though that I'm very strongly influenced by my parents and conversations as I was growing up about the state of conservative Britain and the 'dark' days of 'Thatcher', but I'm still pretty sure I could never be convinced to vote for them.
| You Are Sunset |
Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you've accomplished a lot in life.
And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you're not even sure where it will take you.
Maybe you'll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years.
Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far! |
Silly Emma!
Silly Emma may have overacted with that last post which is now deleted! I am very sorry to anyone who may have read it and been offended :(
Anyway, moving on... Having a random week! Feel very tired and lacking in motivation to do anything, but doing things actually makes it worse, so I think I am just genuinly tired and in need of rest. Went to work yesterday and could only manage an hour and hadto leave again! I felt so bad, but the wonderful ppl I work for, were really understanding so its all good. Man I keep thinking of something to write and then forgetting it before I get chance to write it!
Me and Lucy are thinking of putting together some practical stuff to give out to homeless ppl and do it as a c.U. I put it to Kate and she seemed to like the idea, but now I'm not so sure lol! It would involve giving them toiletries and maybe blankets and also a card with a christian message inside and why were doing it. My only concern is that we may be working at cross perposes if there are other groups going round York doing the same time. But at the same time I cant ignore what Gods put on my heart and how important it is to Him! He wants justice and mercy for all people!
'"I will say to the north,'give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not keep them back!'
Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth-
everyone who is called by my name,
whom i have created for my glory;
I have formed him, yes i have made him."'
Isaiah 43:6&7
