I haven't written in a good wee while. Partly because of lack of inspiration, but also because life has recently become a bit of a check list.
To do lists and diaries have become two of my favourite things in getting me through life - so useful and efficient! It means you get everything you want done and manage to fit everyone you want to see into that - dream! Even if it means spending the whole day going from one coffee date to the next. And while it's efficient, and there's no way I am going to stop making to do lists or planning my days, it slowly but surely tends to drain you of all spontaneity and enjoyment (not that I don't enjoy spending my days drinking coffee...but I hope you get the point). Basically, I've forgotten to stop. I've become so busy doing life that I don't have the time or freedom to just go for a walk, or read a book, or write!
So this post isn't anything deep or meaningful - it's not some crazy insightful lesson I've learnt, or something incredibly personal, I'm just writing for the joy of writing, and because today is one of those days where I just get to stop.
I get to breathe (though not very well considering the end of term cold has decided to make an appearance), and I get to look up. I get to be content in knowing that my joy does not have to come from anything else other than God's goodness. With everything going on around me, it's so freeing to be able to stop and remember His love, and smile about it. It's peaceful. In a moment where the world is rushing by, I can stand assured. I can stop, breathe in and look up.
My flatmates wanted a mention in this post, so I thought I would share potentially the worst attempt at an Abbey Road photo ever taken. We couldn't even request another one because the American tourists were so proud of their attempt.
P.s They are really wonderful people and do constantly remind me to enjoy life.
