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.
