school today was relatively short, thursdays are always this way.
however i would have to say the sun has been scortching hot! during P.E. we were made to practice for the 5 PFT items we have to do and also some strengthening. Now i can actually feel muscles which i never thought existed (or at least hasnt been active for a long time). and when i went to change out i could actually see a clear difference between where my tanktop was and what was exposed to the sun. Then we had to practice drill for founders day at 2pm (which meant we skip PC) and the sun was still hot as ever. so now even after a nice bath and a fan blowing at me, i can still feel heat radiating off me.
I think what my bro said yesterday was quite right. there are two sides to you that you might experience, the sinful person and the Godly one. what then decides which of these two people dominates your character? he told me that it is how much of the sinful or the Godly things in life which you are exposed to that decides who you are. which makes alot of sense. i see myself falling from grace over and over again and telling myself sometimes that a grim acceptance of what the masses are doing is the right thing to do, but i dont realise that by doing so i'm only subjecting myself to more sin and more pain. Therefore i have resolved to lead a Godly life, and expose myself to what the scriptures tell me. quiet time today was rather insightful, although my bro wasnt there cause he had to rush off for jap lessons. He left this book before he left for me to use as quiet time material and i must say it really speaks to me. The chapter today was on endurance. "Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he has stood the test he will resolve the crown of life", i've been telling myself that quitting is just part of life but this is not what the bible tells me.
Crash through life's obstacles, they are but tissue paper if you have God by your side.
