powering on

I finished reading the Old Testament today!!! I've officially read through the Old Testament completely! I must admit that I did skim through some parts though (e.g: all the lists of names in numbers and chronicles and everywhere else). I can finally get stuck into the New Testament which I'm quite excited about. I'm 46 days behind in my reading plan... mainly because I had a huge dry spell during exams and camps and holidays... but I'm back to reading the bible daily now. Holidays are good for catching up on reading.

I'm still reading through Disciplines of a Godly Woman and it continues to challenge and teach me new things. It really is an awesome book. It's helpful because it gives good practical aplications of biblical passages. I've come to realise that I'm so undisciplined when it comes to godliness... it's going to take a while to put everything into practice. In the mean time... I think I'm going to focus on my prayer life.

I have a massive ulcer in my mouth and it's very uncomfortable. I can't eat properly without it hurting. For a couple of days I put salt on it... but I think I left it too late and it was just aggravating it. I bought some proper mouth ulcer cream which has antiseptic in it so hopefully it'll work.

I'm getting into the swing of work now. The first week I worked I had 2 shifts, then the second week I got 3 shifts, and this week I got 4 shifts. So I've been gradually eased into the machine. Most of those shifts are close shifts. I've done close shift a couple of times now and so I'm getting faster at it which has been good. Everyone at work is really friendly so that's also been a blessing. If I didn't have this job, I would have been screwed for Christmas shopping.

The weather has been crazy as. Last night it was so hot and I didn't have a fan in my room... so I chucked my quilt (which I wasn't using anyways) on the floor with my pillow and I slept on the floor (on my quilt). Was still quite warm... but cooler. Then I woke up at about 7am... and it was really cold! So half asleep I found my jacket to cover me. Gosh I make myself sound a lot like a hobo. Actually though... my back was feeling really good after that.

Hmmm... it's 3.30pm now... so I should probably start cooking dinner now before I go to work. I think I have now completely shifted my body clock.
