A little peace in a broken world

This Christian genocide in ISIS is horrendous beyond words. All I can do is praise God that one day all evil will be gone. And how lucky I am to be in my fortunate life.

Today, for me, featured quite a lot of different negative experiences. I woke up fairly grumpy and I think I was rather stressed by everything, not helped by an exhausting cycle ride.

I calmed down while at church sorting out some more printing for camp but then it was time for Tyndale. I was slightly alarmed by how well I had been getting in with the attitude of one thing at a time/just get on with life. Maybe this means work is in the cards...? But must leave that decision to the psychiatrist.

I was thinking how when I was in primary school, I was really scared of secondary school. The fact that there were these things called detentions made me worry that I would not be cared for and it would all be petrifying. Granted, when I finally got to Year 7, I wasn't exactly happy but that was for other reasons and my original fears were quashed. It wasn't scary. It was just the next step. So, similarly, like several people have assured me, work seems scary now but it won't do when I am actually ready to do it. I hope.

I got to Tyndale and saw through the window the librarian was away and a cover person was in. Eek. But just get on with it, Laura. So I went in. But there was a diversion you had to take to get to the library today due to wet paint. This diversion unfortunately involved a swipe card that I didn't think I had with me. Oh well, I thought, I need to eat my lunch now, I thought. So I sat in the common room eating my crisps. I began to think maybe I could just leave. But then maybe the cover lady might be expecting me? But probably not. But it would have been a wasted journey. Oh well... But what about loving people? It's not going to save me...

I was especially scared at the prospect of having to ask at reception for a spare card. Could I just leave..? And then the assistant librarian spotted me in my hiding place. So that put an end to that dilemma! I did some shelving and after a pathetic 40 minutes or something went off.

I went to Lizzie's but just got more and more tired. I came home and got a few things done. And now for an early night before crazy early start tomorrow for wedding tomorrow.. So many things to be in top of at the moment!
