March Madness

I've come to realise some things over this past month. If I continue writing about my week and nothing else I feel like I'm not doing justice to myself, my week or you. The stuff that happened this week were really good but I realised that I was not taking the time to rest. The Psalms remind us be at peace once more for God has been good to you. (Psalm 116:7). This is March. Tests and projects are the story of my life. Quizzes and other responsibilities make up its chapters. Its lines are phrased with revision and studying but there seemed to be no full stops.

Martin Luther, the  reformer, said "I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer." This does seem ironic, doesn't it, but it's true. I remember the times I had a lot to do and I decided to pray. Somehow, when your mind is at rest, time slows down; when you know how you are supposed to do things, order comes and there is time to buy the ice-cream (or whatever). 


In the foreseeable future I don't have much left to do. I did all of my projects and tests and life's good...LG.

Hey Marcus,
This one was so helpful to me this week! I have had tons of stuff to do lately, and I just felt a burden all week! I read your blog and it just kind of made me refocus on what is really important (God obviously). :D
So thank you!
Lilly

I just wanted to leave a comment to see De-André said. [lol] I need some peace as well but as we know, we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. I don't know about you but I prefer God's strength than physical strength. [lol]
