Thanks

I had an urge to clear out my gmail inbox today. While thinking of which mails to go, jobscentral spam and open house emails leapt to mind.
As I deleted them I feel a tinge of sadness because in my tiredness I didn't really get to savour open day. But other than that I'm immensely happy as I felt the reality of the load lifting from my shoulders- what is more liberating than the carefree deletion of emails without worrying that you may need to look back at them?
It's the same feeling I got last year after the exams... when I finally closed some browser tabs left open for repeated reference...

And I think, Thank You dear Lord for this crazy 3 months. Thank you for all the things I couldn't do, which I did only because you led me to. Help me to stay trusting and brave. Help me to look back, may these remain as big reminders of how you are the help to those in need (though indeed all are in need).

Thank you for how I crossed those mad days of ICG. The days where I lay on my bed wondering how I may survive the games next day, wondering how I may drift off to sleep with my back in such strung up pain. And still I slept, and still I woke up, and still I had time, and still I served.

And then for the 4 lessons which have passed thus. For the successful times, for the awkward, for the times I didn't plan enough or slept enough to think straight. For the confused faces, or the delight when we discovered more about you together. When in my words You made Yourself look glorious, for the right questions, prompting answers crucial to understanding. For everything beyond my control, I thank You.
