Wow, there is not much going on in my life at the moment! I find it amazing but true.. This is not a bad thing, though. Without there always being homework to be done, worship to be prepared and people to call, I find I actually have time to consider which things are important to me and spending time doing it.
This is a whole new season in my life and I've become quite addicted to this new, simplistic, way of life. In some ways it compares to the increasingly popular 'desert-times' - life-eras without many distractions and time consuming pre-occupations. I can actively choose the elements in my life and prioritize them.
Okay, I'm repeating myself, but my point is that it is the time spent in reflection/'meditation' that matures me. Having the capacity to refuse to face the consequences of my actions, it is high time that I took time to meditate on them. This creates awareness and a more concrete foundation for future decisions - big and small. A.k.a. maturity.
Okay, I'm rambling and pretty much rephrasing an earlier post of mine..
I am the proud owner of a King James Version-bible and reading Phillipians last night got me thinking about Saint Paul's view on what we humans are made of. I've always thought body, soul and spirit. He thinks it differently. Check it out and let me know your thoughts - if you can be bothered.. ;)

Finals just finished up for me, and I am going crazy because I feel so useless, I am so use to only studying and doing homework that I do not know what to do with my free time. The other night when I was laying in bed trying to sleep I was reflecting on the last year, and I just found it depressing. I want to do the very things I think you are talking about in your post, but everytime I try, I just get upset, and realize all of my regrets. Maybe feeling [insert emotion here] is just part of growing up?

Long time no hear, Eryn! [smile] Although I can't say I have experienced that feeling, I can imagine having been living in the same groove for so many years and then having to go on.. But don't let yourself be so downcast!
'Power' is 'to be able to' and right now, you can do anything, rite? But maybe that's excactly your point - you don't know what to do.. [smile] At least you can look up and enjoy a bit of nature and a bit of nice music? ;o)
Familiar with Bruce Cockburn? His new album, "Speechless" is absolutely amazing! -if you were in need of recommendations..
Hey Ivan, thanks for the words of encouragement! And yes I am a Bruce Cockburn fan. I did not know that he had a new album out though. I will definetly be checking it out in the near future, thanks again :)

oh and haha I actually have been "enjoying" nature lately. I have taken to going on extremely random walks in the country, but it helps me clear my mind so I suppose these walks are a good thing.
Yes! update him! lol
