Tea, M&S Tea

Revision is going nowhere fast. In fact, it has barely even really begun. And I want to run. Not at it, away from it. I sit down at my desk and I don't even want to begin another slide, let alone, page or lecture. Too much. 

Yesterday I popped on a lazy hoodie and my toms. Comfort at its best, yes! The hoodie i hadn't worn in years, and i had pretty much resolved not to wearing it out. But I did yesterday, because, I didn't plan on going out. That changed. I ended up taking my work to Forestside, M&S cafe, tea and a table yes please! After getting the queue direction completely wrong, forgetting a tray was necessary, getting my tea and then a tray, I headed for a table.  Sat myself down, and whilst pulling out my lectures and paper, the lady at the table behind tapped me. "My friend was just wondering what it says down your arm?". No I haven't got myself a tattoo, she was referring to my hoodie.  'It's my youth group' And right then before the impossible revision began her friend points me back to the verse on my back. "It is so true, wouldn't it be great if we could believe it more"

Wouldn't it be great if we could believe it more. 

An unplanned trip to Carryduff, led to a conversation planned by my Father. What a beautiful way to start some revision! When the task seems impossible to me, to you, look to Him who can. The belief in Him who is able needs to be in my head and my heart constantly.  The two shouldn't be arguing to be heard, and there should not be arguments within each. The quantity of work to get through shouldn't be a mental block to God's greatness, His power and help. It should allow God's greatness, power and help to thrive! I need to allow God's voice of truth to silence all the noise. Meditate in it and follow it. 

It is back to a time of revision, reminding me of this post... http://christy-learningtoliveforone.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/work-as-worship.html. I am unable. But my God is a God who takes the unable, and makes them able. Why don't I trust that fully now? I see it time and time again. He reminds me of it time and time again, daily it would seem, or more, and yet I am overwhelmed by the work. I want to wholly follow Him, I want to work with all I have got for Him, but getting that from my head and my heart into action, that is harder than it seems. But praise God that He goes before us, and for moments He plans, like tea in M&S. 

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act Psalm 37:5
