Since my return from the states....which now seems like ages ago now....life has been, to put it simply, HECTIC!!
You would think, after attempting to study last year around this time that I would have learnt my lesson that October is generally a busy month....but NOOOOOooooo! I signed up to do a six week course on Intellectual Property....with an exam on the 16th of November. So what happens?
1) I have the BIGGEST schedule change of my life to work through,
2) Everything starts picking up at work during October,
3) I have a novel to plot for,
4) My exam is halfway through my novel writing month (yes, I'm still determined to write another novel)
5) A few health challenges....
...but I'm pushing on and pushing through. I'm way behind where I should be on my modules but I'm hoping this weekend will be a boost in cracking through some of those modules.
But otherwise things are going. Life has been challenging the past few month where I've had to learn a lot but have also been annoyed with life and with God. A friend and I chatted last night and I was mentioning the frustrations and is it wrong to be annoyed with God - angry that things aren't the way you were hoping to be and yet, at the same time wondering if God rolls his eyes at me as I continually fall into the same sin over and over and over again. In conclusion and thinking about our conversations in bed last night, God already knows that I'm going to keep making mistakes but His Grace covers me...and I'm probably letting myself down more than Him as I continue to try and not sin, He knows I'm angry and He knows my struggles....and even though I'm annoyed with most of His plans, He still knows whats best for me. I guess its just that whole thing of trusting and leaning on Him, to know He's looking out for me and that He will give me the strength to overcome things/sin that I keep falling into.
So anyway, this is a short brief blog. I still plan on writing a blog on the snow we had here....however many months ago....since snow is rare in SA it was a big thing. So maybe, when I find time, I'll make that blog movie of Snow!
Until next time....
