I am thanking God for sustaining me through that period of time when I was juggling teaching, marking, my research and my thesis. Now is a good time to fall sick because I actually get the time to rest. If not for the fact that I wanted to go out with the pie pie on Friday night without feeling guilty, I would have taken medical leave. The body aches and the chills were simply too exhausting. Thankfully, work that day was easy.
This period of time is a good time to do everything that I did not have the time to do before, (like clearing my room, shelving my Absolut collection and then realising that I have that many bottles and some extra which I shouldn't be keeping; clearing my email, catching up on reading, etc etc). This is the period of time where I stubbornly refused to do anything related to my thesis until my supervisor comes back with the revisions that I have to make. She had asked me to do some readings on the recent research (check April 2014 she says *rolls eyes*) but I shall wait anyway.
The weekends had been packed with outstanding appointments with people though! Not that I am complaining though there's a certain sense of obligation to meet people.
Have a great weekend everyone!

from today's devotion
Verse:
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, I am tired of living within my self-invented lines of expectation. Show Your strength through my weakness, Your sufficiency through my flaws. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Importance of love
The fear of consequences may keep us from committing the outward acts of murder/adultery/etc. etc. etc, but only love will keep us from committing murder/adultery/etc. etc. in our hearts.
The naturally faithful person might stop short of dependability if it becomes inconvenient, but the godly person keeps his word even when it is costly.
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22: 37-40
