It's been a long day
Someone wise once said to me "Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy? Stuck in a landslide, escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see." In all honesty, that person was Freddie Mercury. And in all honesty, he actually sang it at me, since I have never met him or talked to him. But today I did look up at the sky, and it looked good. It was actually still dark when I set off to CU this morning, but when I came out of the library for a bite of lunch and a prayer meeting, I looked up and it was glorious. It was actually sunny in Glasgow. T'was truely amazing.
And on a separate thought, I have been pondering my recent feelings about leaving Dumfries again, and then this morning at CU I saw Philippians 3:13-14, which talks about forgetting about what is behind, and straining towards what lies ahead. This got me to thinking if missing home wasn't just because I hadn't wanted things to change when I left. I enjoyed working last year, had good friends and messed about a lot in the evening, generally having a good time. But of course, this changed when I came to uni. So now, I am going to try and put the past in the past, and look forward to what is ahead. Obviously, I shall still keep in touch with people at home, and friends who are away at uni, but I am going to look less at the past, and more at the future.
And I shall leave you with a quote - "Be holy; God wants you to, and I want you to, and I figure you'll listen to one of us."
Speak to you soon persons.
