DAY 14 MY BROTHER IS SO WISE

Today I thank God for the talk with my brother.

Thank God for his wisdom, kind words and insightful comments <3

DAY 13 IT'S FINALLY RUNNING FULL FLOW

I started saying since March this year, that my project is starting to recruit participants in Melbourne/Sydney,

Well, it hasn't.

Or it hadn't.

It is FINALLY starting.

After being away from my desk at work today, I came back to 35 emails regarding details of the project/progress reports/follow up recruitment procedures/paper draft etc.

Which puts me to at least 7 tasks that needs to be completed by Friday.

IT IS FINALLY STARTING.

Here's to a stressful few months ahead.

If you know me, please pray that I don't die/explode/quit my PhD.

CREATIVE WRITING

Inspired by Greg's talk about the consequences of 'electronic' relationships and how there is a lack of filter on the things we post online.

I feel like being cryptic today.
Type sentences like I just don't care.
Why should they have things to say?
When these are my thoughts to share.

Today I feel like writing.
Just words straight from the heart.
Will it matter who will be reading?
Why must I craft as though this is art?

When typing with your keyboard.
All may mean less.
But you may push friends overboard.
With posts not meant to bless.

And when night time creeps in
This blogger has some tips
Never create a din
With words that comes from your lips.

Think twice when sending that text
And posting facebook updates
For the net gives you the pretext
Of speaking without gates

There must be an ending for this post.
And yet I can think of none.
I guess ideas must be lost,
All inspiration has gone.


Night!

PERSONALITY TESTS

I haven't done this in a while but ...

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

DAY 12 FAMILY

Lacking the energy. TIRED TIRED TIRED. Rawr.

DAY 11 DEATH DO US NO PART

My grandfather passed away about one month ago.

Although I was not extremely close to him, I loved him very much.

Death just makes you think hard about the futility of life. The idea of never being able to see someone you love ever again, is extremely painful.

Separation is any form is difficult. Whether by death or distance, the idea of someone close being far is always unbearable.

Today day 11, I thank God that there is no eternal separation for those who believe in Christ.

⁵⁰I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. ⁵¹Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— ⁵²in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. ⁵³For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. ⁵⁴When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."^g]">[g] ⁵⁵"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"^h]">[h] ⁵⁶The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Cor 15:50-57

and we look forward to seeing those separated from us in a perfect heaven.

¹Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. ²I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. ³And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ⁴He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

⁵He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." Revelation 21:1-5

DAY 9

No, I didn't forget day 9.

Nerissa wrote it for me.

Thanks Nerissa. <3
