Looking Back.

Just as the title says, this post is a reflection of what has been happening ever since I've gone on hiatus Which is honestly VERY long period of time. Things, people, attitudes, feelings, everything changes with time, but the only constant that I can rely on is God. :)  Ever so loving and trusting in me.

Major life events include:

1.WAY too LOUD! camp 2012
2. Starting of Term 3(which is omg gonna end)
3. Faraday sports day build up.
4. EMERGE 2012.

BUT I REALLY HAVE NO TIME TO BLOG ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW COS OF ALL THE HOMEWORK DUE.

WHOEVER SAID YEAR 4 WAS THE HARDEST YEAR OF NUSHS LIFE, ITS A LIEEEE. YEAR 5 IS HORROR. d: but the fun in hostel sort of balances it out i guess. hehe.

and if you take 4 majors, you have a much easier life... that's for sure. honors is a whole new level of cheem-ness which I never expected, but it's worth a challenge I guess :D

Story of my life... oh gosh... ;P

here goes.

I seem to have lost touch with blogging, after not doing so for ages. I don't even want to know when I kicked the habit of daily/weekly postings. I've just been too busy for this, and oh wells. Excuses to get in the way of things. But that's one thing I'm learning not to rely on. Excuses, they get us into places, things we don't usually get, and also give us concessions when we're not supposed to receive them. Are excuses valid just because someone else approves of them? I would think no. 

But maybe, just maybe this is God's way of showing His favour, to save our ass on days we are completely doomed. Perhaps that is grace, the unwarranted and totally, completely free giving, of chances, of things that are being added into each and everyone of our lives'. I was considering, and maybe we should not completely shut ourself off from making up excuses, and blaming our business on certain things. Sometimes these things we "blame" or count as excuses are of very high value indeed to our lives'. Spending time with our loved ones, caring for a hurting friend or even just taking time to de-stress and relax. We need such quality times for us to function between stress times of work. Then there's the quote that says, work is no longer work when you enjoy it as much as play. 

That's one of my aims in life, to find that joy, in "work" to find joy in everything I do, all the time. Then will I be able to be a limitless person. 

Limits are just boundaries we place on ourselves in our heads, thoughts or minds. They are there because we have chosen for them to be there, they are never permanent. and only as permanent as we think they are. I am who I think I can be. Sometimes that's really different from who I am right now, and who I would want to be, but that's just because we think of the limitations and circumstances, and try to manage our thoughts realistically. But what if there were no limits, and I worked as if I could do everything. Then maybe I will emerge greater and expand my capacity, personally. 

Isaiah 54:2-4

“Enlarge the place of your tent,
And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;
Do not spare;
Lengthen your cords,
And strengthen your stakes.
For you shall expand to the right and to the left,
And your descendants will inherit the nations,
And make the desolate cities inhabited.
“Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed;

DO NOT FEAR ;) that's my goal for this term, semester. to make it through with courage and boldness.

Throughts. Ponderings.

I was just wondering, maybe blogging on a daily basis would be a good way to end my day, spend some time reading His word as well, and equip me for the day ahead.

Today was a really interesting day. I fell sick in the morning, rested and almost instantly was back to normal. Got to skip the Organic Chemistry Quiz. THANK GOD. Did not study one bit for it yet. and well, PE was a dASSASTER. as oh five would say it. Wanted to go back to hostel for more rest, but I guess some fun wouldn't hurt. Not until she made me play on the scorching track, barefoot. she is insane ._.

SO, I read that the bes way to spend the last 5 minutes of your day is to reflect. Maybe I should do just that, instead of the usual busy task completing. I see value in thoughts and new perspectives on ordinary things.
