WHOOP!

There are five gorgeous A's dancing before my eyes.....

yes, I place too much self worth in my grades...I'm obsessive...and I know they (whoever they are) say that recognising the problem is the first step to recovery, but I've been dawdling around in that first step for a very long time...oh, mercy.

Here, look at a happy picture :)

God is good

That is all

Monday...nope...Tuesday

Lucy leant her head on the edge of the fighting-top and whispered, "Aslan, Aslan, if ever you loved us at all, send us help now." The darkness did not grow any less, but she began to feel a little - a very little - better...

An albatross...circled three times round the mast and then perched for an instant on the crest of the gilded dragon at the prow... But no one except Lucy knew that as it circled the mast it had whispered to her, "Courage, dear heart," and the voice, she felt sure, was Aslan's.

Dear ____,

I may have done something really stupid.

Not completely sure...but I certainly feel overwhelmed.

Did I speak too soon?

Well, it's done. So, I guess that's a pointless question.

Stop trusting in man,

who has but a breath in his nostrils.

Of what account is he?

Isaiah 2:22

Trust in the LORD with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5&6

I imagine this is what it might feel like to be swept out to sea.

Dramatic?

Yes.

Honest?

...let's hope so.

Still, the lack of homework is fantastic.

And God is bigger :)

On the brain...

We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

{to love at all is to be vulnerable. love anything,

and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly

broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless- it will change. it will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. the only place apart from heaven that you can be safe from the dangers of love is hell.} c.s. lewis

So, yesterday was a bad hair day...until I realised that my mop was reminiscent of do's I've seen on the beautiful and illustrious Helena Bonham Carter. After that, the hair became amusing, full of character, and even a bit attractive in my eyes. After all, there are sadder things in life than channeling a genius.

Hannah, you will help me re-enact this photograph, wont you?

Thanks, I look forward to it.
