Last 2 weeks have been predominantly working; it's been quite fun as the people there are nice, the project is massive, and I'm learning a whole bunch of stuff that's actually useful! It's just mildly tiring, as full time work = work work sleep sleep work work etc. Have been having stuff on almost every night lately too so that's been tiring, but apart from that, it's great not having assignments due constantly!
Christmas time is almost upon us and I am literally almost bouncing with joy. I say almost because the weather lately has made somewhat less bouncy...but yes, Christmas! I don't know why, but in the past few years, my joy has been increasing with every year come Christmas. I guess it's something about hearing all these carols proclaiming the coming of Jesus and God's glory (whether or not the people singing them mean it or not).
Just started reading John tonight and came across this rather challenging verse:
"I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?" -- John 5:43-44
So simply put by Jesus, yet we all still fall short and crave the approval of friends, colleagues and family instead of seeking the approval of the one and only God who created everything. I pray that we may continue to strive for his approval only not be swayed by what the world says is good or bad :)
