ever shared a thought with someone, forgot you ever said that, and then some time later be reminded of what you said by that same someone, at a time where you needed to hear it yourself?
if you know what i mean, things like that that happen really make you stop for a while and think, 'Wow.' funny how things have their timing. there is only one explanation (: ecc 3:11
anyway, i finished my exams for my first sem at uni yesterday (: in retrospect, it's hard to miss God's grace every step of the way. before uni started, i couldn't imagine where i'd be now. i wasn't even certain which math subject i could do, for instance. [and that's just one example which happens to fall under the academic aspect of life... if i dwelved into the nitty gritty of what i've learnt since 19-02-08, i would have to churn out pages.] but there was always faith and hope to keep me going. re-visiting the moments of peace - mountain-top clarity - is of immense importance.
i guess when we're in the moment, since we can never tell how things will proceed from then, faith is always required to make the next move. however small the move, if you keep going, those baby steps accumulate to give progress. needless to say you'd want to be making progress in the right direction, and that's where what you put your trust in matters.
hmm, i dont' seem to write much in a 'what i did today' kind of format, do i? i just write down whatever thoughts are swirling around in my brain, which tend to be
1.what i've been thinking a lot about
2.what strikes me greatly all of a sudden
not all my innermost thoughts ever quite make it here though. internet's too impersonal for me. but this space still exists for a variety of reasons, one of them being that typing is a lot faster than writing in ink in my journal. still, i like having a journal. i never have to write ambiguous statements in there. is having a journal old-fashioned? maybe. but i like it. whatever i think i might need to be reminded of someday goes into that journal. it's not so much a diary but a reflection thing. a little soap-ish perhaps. no, don't think soap opera, think scriptureobservationapplicationprayer, except i don't write methodically in my journal.
this is such a long entry. maybe my next entry will be of a bright and breezy 'what i did today' sort.
the sunny island up above awaits very soon! (:
