Too Busy To Listen

In the last few weeks, I have learned allot about life. Or more specifically - the big scary world that is out there. My horizons have been greatly expanded, not always in such a wonderful way. My eyes have seen things they have never seen before, my ears have heard things that they defiantly haven't heard before, my brain has been told to compute things that it's never had to compute before and thoughts have been going through my head that I never wanted to think and I still don't want to think.
Its really scary: this stepping out into the out there. This shy (yes, you'd better believe it), little country girl that feels about 15 half of the time and 65 the other half of the time, has had a bit of a culture shock lately. Last time I actually had time to visit my blog for any decentable amount of time and write something (and now looking back it wasn't that much), I wrote about the blessed hope. This is just one of a few lessons that I've learned lately.

1.  The Blessed Hope. 

Oh what a blessing it truly is to have the hope of the resurrection and life after death! How privileged I am to not fear death's sting! As I looked around the cemetery and at my classmates I truly felt how blessed I was for my heart was singing. Triumph in the face of death.

2.  People Are Not Always What They Seem 

[Don't Judge]. My 'best friend' AKA buddy in class is Sheri*. Sheri is not a christian of any kind that I know of. She's just a hard-working middle-class Aussie. She lives in the middle of Port with her boyfriend and she's a bar-maid. Gasps. No doesn't gasp. Once upon a time, not so very long ago, I would have, unconsciously, shied away from any interaction with a person who works at a pub. But now, I know that just because she works there doesn't mean anything. She's the most loveable, friendly, sweet girl and she and I get along like a house on fire. Lesson learned. Just because they were outlawed, didn't mean that Jesus did spend time with them, eat with them, talk with them, LOVE THEM. So, why should I shy away from anyone?

3.  Sometimes God changes His mind. 

Ok, ok, not really but sometimes when it might seem that you're following His will, He's actually just taking you a round-a-bout way to where He wants you. And that's all I'm going to elaborate on that at the moment.

So my life has been busy. And when I'm busy, I'm so busy thinking of what I need to do that there's no space in my mind left for things to write. And on this note I shall beg your pardon for my silence. I honestly wish that I could write heaps and heaps more often but as I said, for that, one must unclog one's mind and that's not such an easy task.

In the meantime, God Bless!
