A new quest
Stuvac, Stuvac, Stuvac.... It is really all about how good you are at convincing yourself that you can be doing other things other than study. Had a good day of study yesterday - did around 5 or so hours worth of work solidly, but today is a different day altogether - different things to consider and think about - no motivation for working.
I have made a new quest for myself - and that is to get back up to the level of fitness that I used to have. So far - 3 days in, and I am feeling a whole lot better. I never thought that fitness would make such an impact on me, but it has. I just feel like I have more energy, and I'm finding things are a whole lot more clear having had a good hour workout session.
Have been working both long distance and sprint training. I'm doing a 2. 5 km jog, and then doing sprints training afterwards (mainly acceleration work). Will probably step up the intensity in a couple of days... that will be the real test of my fitness, to see whether I can handle a full workout. Either way, I'm feeling pretty energised, and am really happy about that.
Personally, God has been teaching me new things about him daily. I have been absolutely wrapped in Proverbs of late (if you haven't read it... DO IT...). God's wisdom, as spoken through Solomon has really opened up some insights into how I should be thinking about God. About how I fail to be giving him the respect that I should, and about How I often am not entrusting things to him in the way I should. It has really been an eyeopener, and has I guess been pushing me to be reliant on God - even in the bits of me that I want to control. I won't say I've got it yet, any of you whom know me well know that I have a long looonng way to go :), and I'm guessing I will for the rest of my life.
Current Song/s: (im a cheat, I am choosing two)
Lost Prophets - We are Godzilla, you are Japan...
Klaus Badelt - He's a pirate (theme song from Pirates of the Caribbean)
note: fundraising is up to $320 sofar... my hat is in jeopardy.

Control: the thing we want the most, but are least likely to obtain. I think one of the hardest and most eye-opening things of the Christian life is when God shows you that you have to relinquish control and just let Him lead you.
Yeah - and realising that we're deluded if we think that we are in control! Who are we to think we can dictacte what is going to happen in life? God is so much more free to work - when we let him work through us, rather than trying to do everything ourselves!Struggled a lot with that last year.
Also, I think I should re-read proverbs, you're the second person in 2 days to tell me to... so maybe someone *looks up* is sending me a message...
