swim swim :)

Ok... so today turned out to be very cold and very rainy... but I still got to go for a swim because it's an indoor heated pool. I swam 1.5km... which is really awesome because last time I only swam 1km (and it was not a particularly easy 1km). Everyone should take up swimming and if you want a swimming buddy let me know!

I started doing regular quiet times again. I'm reading through Psalms, and I have a devotion book on Psalms too. I chose Psalms because people always rave about it, and Rob is doing it at his youth group and he's always talking about it, but I don't know that much about it (at least I don't think I do). The first chapter was quite appropriate... because one of the challenges of that chapter was to delight in the law and to meditate on it day and night.

This evening I went back to choir. I've rejoined it to be in the Christmas concert. The songs we are singing are quite lovely... a lot of them are lullabies. We were singing them all so beautifully that it was making me feel a little drowsy! Tomorrow I'll be back in uni again for a handbells practice.

In other news... I've finished uni! No more assignments or exams or anything. It's all done. It hasn't really sunk in yet. Plus I'll still be able to go to uni because I have choir rehearsals and handbell rehearsals. But I wont be able to see everyone all the time now which is kinda sad.

The weather has been really uncomfortably hot. I hope I'll be able to go swimming tomorrow... do some laps of the pool. Swimming has got to be the most fun and enjoyable exercise ever. I really like it.

At church we've been doing a series on Matthew 24-25 called "Are you ready?" I never realised how jam packed the second half of Matthew 24 is. It's been really awesome. It's also been cool to see that my youth group girls have been challenged by the sermons, they ask me questions and talk about it at youth group on Fridays. I've been really enjoying leading them this year and seeing them grow.

Someone lent me the book "Faithful Women and their Extraordinary God" and said it was a really good book... but I haven't found it that great. It was also on the Equip book list. I feel like the language is a bit strange and it doesn't flow well. And I haven't seemed to have reached the point where it talks about how God is extraordinary (which I thought I would have got to by now). Maybe I just have to keep on reading.

I just finished reading "Guidance and the voice of God" and thought it was awesome. Biblical, easy to understand and challenging. Read it!
