Post-Christmas and the eve of New Year's Eve

The weekend did not feel like a weekend ~ because I did not go to work the whole of last week (again). Thanks to the Christmas hols.

I feel like such a bum. I don't even feel like doing my assignments. But then again, my seminary life is resuming in a week's time. Since I am trying to graduate in 2013, it will be a very packed/exhausting year for me - and therefore, loads of rest is good. (Of course, I'd like to walk in the center of God's will. If it is not His will for me to graduate next year, I won't...even if it kinda kills me.)

Being free-er than usual meant that I had more (unwelcome) opportunities to dwell on negative or melancholic thoughts *le sigh*. It would have been good if those melancholies had been channeled into songs, but I did not write any. Anyway ~ I still am thankful. I am thankful that God is the God whom I can cry out to anytime, anywhere. When even the randomest thoughts become so burdensome and heart-breaking, I am thankful that I can cry out to God to save me from my weak, wavering self... and He would hear me. Need to guard my heart and mind in Christ ~ and only His peace can enable me to do so. 

New Year resolutions.... I am not one to make them; since I entered my 20s, I stopped making them because I just simply have never been very good at keeping them. However, if I were to really make just one resolution for next year, it wouldn't be losing weight, saving more money or even finishing the Bible in one year! It would probably be working on improving my emotional health, by God's help and grace. Poor emotional health is sort of the root of all evils, at least for me. And the Enemy uses it often to steal, kill and destroy. I have been working on this... but I could definitely work harder. And no, it's not like I can do anything much on my own ~ what I've got to work harder on is surrendering my emotions to God. That is still one of the hardest parts.   

Meant to blog a little more ~ but I have suddenly lost my train of thought. I guess this means bedtime.
