You Amaze Me!

Listen to "Really Want", by Lincoln Brewster, which is linked at the side of this blog under "Listen". It puts everything into perspective for me. When I feel that studying for exams is pointless and that my life isn't going very well, it reminds me that Someone is watching over me who has a plan for my life, and that I am very lucky to be alive... there are so many things I can do with my life, but more importantly so many things that He can use my life for.

I was in the library today at half-eleven, sitting beside Megan with my notes making a mess all over the little table, and desperately trying to cram equations into my head for tomorrow, when glancing out of the window I saw flying white flakes. For a moment I was doubtful, turned to Megan, and her answering grin confirmed it. People's heads lifted slowly from their books, they looked out of the window for a while, smiled, and gradually returned to their work. Magic filled the air, and while we knew we were all working for the immediate future (exams), the world outside was still turning and God was still making art everywhere. I'm sure he delights in snow, falling lightly, freely, spinning, drifting; just as much as we do.

Stuck to my books but my spirit is laughing with the confetti whirling outside in celebration of all that is pure and good.
