Man, things just seem to take over your life sometimes. They can overwhelm, engulf and strangle. Thankfully we have someone who is there for us, and loves us or else I really don't know how I'd cope. The past week I've been ill, stressed, problems with everything that I come into close contact with, and it's hard. But the harder thing is to follow the path that God has laid out for us. I felt drained, unhappy and tired. But God is good, and I know that when I rely on him, he sees me through. I just feel like going on holiday though, and have been looking at particular plane flights (out of interest rather than actually going ahead with it, well for now anyway!) One day I hope to travel, if only for a little while, whilst I consider what I want ot do with my life- or more importantly when I figure out what God wants to do with my life!

Maybe the feeling of being able to escape keeps me going. I am trying to work even harder this year, so that I can get the best degree that I'm capable of (obviously God has a massive hand in that anyway). When we step out of our comfort zones (I'm beginning to loath this phrase!) I know in my head that we can grow from the experiences that we are struggling through at the moment, but it's hard to see a way out when you're in the poo.

I'm confident in God though.
