Must read- Doubt and Faith.

As soon as I read this, I knew I had to share it. So many people could be encouraged by it as I am. Think it's something I need to read every now and then to make me rethink and assess things.
Read article here. (pages 84-87).
Let me know what you think.
In other news, I started back at uni today. Suddenly things have got crazy. Working 2 part-time jobs, studying full time at university as well taking a photography course and sign language course outside of uni, watching as many netball games as possible and then still trying to have time for friends, family, church stuff and relaxation... it's a challenge. But, I'm the one who gets myself into these situations, so I'm not complaining. Jesus, be the centre.

I wish I had more time and inspiration to write blog posts...

But for now, I'm just going to continue to borrow things written by other people.
The last bit may make you cry. Just saying.

"There comes a time when you can only run so far from Love. And then, he catches you. Love is not what you think. But Love is the greatest mystery known to man, the most unstoppable force. God is Love. He is the love for which the world looks. We look for Him in a thousand ways, in a thousand places! He is not a feeling, or a philosophy, or an idea. He is the only one who matters.
We must pursue Him, because He has pursued us. He chases us in the darkest times, in the silence. We wonder what Love is, but there He stands. His love does not change, His love does not stop. In our most unworthy times, He is there—with His undying, unconditional acceptance—reckless, even." -- Karissa Sechrist

University etc

So, I'm rather stressed about uni at the moment, just because they're messing me around and making it difficult for me to choose the very last paper/course I need to complete my degree this semester. Just one more! It's a bit of a long story, but I'd totally appreciate some prayers, and I hope it's sorted soon so I can get it off my mind!
In the meantime, here's a cool little thing I just read...
Tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start, ripe with possibility. Smog and particulates conceal celestial glory, but the right evening provides unparalleled clarity. Take a breath. Make a wish. Dream. Hope without ceasing. -- Austin C. Bonds.

Cool thought

The Church, configured to reveal God's salvation to the world, consists of broken and transparent people. They know that Jesus forgave people after they came to Him (or were brought to Him). If they are limping, tapping a white cane, wearing rags, have alcohol on their breath or are dressed provocatively, they will be welcomed and accepted as members of a loving, dysfunctional family. Let the Lord tell them what and how they need to clean up.
