Hello all! I know I'm late, but
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! and
Happy Boxing Day! and before I'm late for this too,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Hope everyone has had fun / will have fun these couple of days!
And hey Jessie, ¡Feliz Navidad! ¡Espero que tu esté teniendo diversión en España! Lol I hope that came out right. :P What happened to your blog? I would tag you back but your site disappeared... *wwoooo*
Anyway, I know I haven't exactly blogged more regularly like I said I would. Sorry! I'll stop saying things now before I know I can do them.
Hmmm that sounds really New-Years-Resolutionish yea? I haven't started thinking about next year's resolutions yet. Sadly, I can hardly remember this year's. I must have written them down... somewhere...whatever they were I'm sure I have failed. This year hasn't been a good year for me...maybe I'll talk more about this later.
It's already the 27th of the December! We might take a drive down to Canberra in the next couple of days, then on the 2nd of January I start work! Work experience, rather, since I'm not getting paid...unfortunately. But still, I guess I am grateful for the opportunity. I will be working at a law firm down in the city, hopefully it will be good fun. Also I've never been to court before so I'm sure it will be an experience.
I hope I find time somewhere in this holiday to catch up on my schoolwork. I have six texts to read for English, all the trig homework I didn't do in the last 2 weeks of school, and all-round revision that I need to do for the upcoming term...
...And I need even more time. I know that I have really neglected my friendships in the past couple of months, this past year really. =( Yea...worse still I have neglected my relationship with God. This year has been a year of...isolation. Lots of running and hiding and avoiding everyone.
But I don't want to dwell on the past! Things are looking up for me now, more than they have for the last few months! =) I am talking to God again, for the first time in nearly 2 months, and yesterday I opened and read my bible again for the first time in ages, and I was amazed. I'd nearly forgotten the comfort and encouragement that comes from His Word...I'd brushed it off and held it in such low esteem...I was just wowed. It's been
such a rocky road, and here I am right at the beginning all over again. And by His grace, I am no longer hurting and discouraged...I am excited! I have a clean slate...I get to start over and this time on rock. I will go slower now, I shall take pains to make sure my foundation is firm this time. I have avoided and denied for long enough...I know now that I can't live without Him. And I am glad. =)
I also wanted to mention: it's cool having my family back together again. Five isn't a terribly big number, but it has been a while since we've all been together. I know I'm guilty of taking my family for granted, and I know I've even foregone them for fairweather friends, but I'm starting to see now how precious family is. I am thankful. =)
