Long time no blog

I haven't been blogging for a while.

Guess why.

I've been thinking a lot lately (I'll do anything to get out of studying)about the way I live my life, how I interact with others, etc. I recently realised that I tend idolise people. Maybe 'idolise' is too strong a word; perhaps 'overly admire'? No, I think I'll stick with 'idolise'. Anyway, I'll meet someone and I'll think the world of them. I'll admire this 'angel' so much when suddenly, they will do or say something that shatters their halo. Well, in my view, anyway. It annoys me so much. Also, I have this tendency to trust everyone with information about myself, failing to realise that they could use to insult me. Is this a lesson? Maybe God is trying to teach me that I should not rely on mere humans, but instead seek His approval. Although this has happened to me so many times, I always make the same mistakes over and over again.

Last year my friend played me a song called, "In Christ Alone" by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. I recently discovered that Adam Young (Owl City) did a cover of it and posted it on his blog. Here are the lyrics and the link to his version of this beautiful song.

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled and when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
Fro I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
'Till he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.


I'm currently into my second week of holidays. It's quite scary knowing that in 8 weeks time I will be having my first exam. Once it's over, I won't be able to change anything. I want to do well, but there always seems to be something more exciting to do than study. Having a sister in uni doesn't help either.

Speaking of university, I went to one a couple of days ago. The campus is absolutely beautiful! There are trees everywhere, the buildings have so much character and the whole atmosphere is wonderful! It was like being in Hogwarts! I've been there several times and I'm ALMOST certain that this is the university for me.

I wrote a letter to my future self yesterday. I wonder what I'll be like in one year's time. Hopefully not so blur.

Back to psychology! Because I need it.

P.S. Goodbye.
