Isaiah 40:28-31

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Morning Reflection

It isn't usual that I spend quality time with God in the mornings...normally because I don't see the mornings but today I went to a prayer breakfast at the Christian Union, mainly because I'm leading one next week and kind of needed to get an idea of how they worked. However, that small sacrifice of pulling myself out of bed has allowed me to feel one step closer to God today and that is worth it all. I've enjoyed the beautiful weather that is outside, I've enjoyed the amazing company of my friends at CU and I've been able to enjoy the awesomeness of God.

I came home and decided to read my bible and work through my thoughts about life and situations. I noticed as I was reading some amazing verses that I'd come across before but I wanted to share them with you here. They are kind of about suffering but the hope that we can receive through suffering if we choose to accept it.

Romans 5: 3-5 "Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love had been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Hard Rock Calling...

With my new passion for Jason Mraz I was researching if he was doing any gigs in the UK and I found this http://www.hardrockcalling.co.uk/lineup/ !!!!

Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer and Jason Mraz! How exciting! I actually really want to go but with the cost of tickets and me being a poor student and all, it doesn't seem like a possibility :(

I can always dream I guess...I suppose that's what most students do, daydream hehe especially in lectures :p

A New Realisation

Recently I've come to learn that I am kind of affected when there is a lack of caffeine in my diet. In other words, I'm addicted to caffeine and when I don't have any I get a bad headache. Most people believe this to be a psychological thing but I thought I was drinking normal tea and then I started getting a headache and I didn't understand because I never got headaches. Then later on I learnt that it was decaffeinated tea.

The horror!
