from the abyss

it really has been a long time since i last blogged

mainly and frankly ive kinda lost interest in blogging.....no time is another factor, and no readership is a third

but mainly its cos ive lost interest. and also cos i was scared. of all the tests of all the exams and the fear of failure.

i tink ive passed m2. yay?

am i making sense?

dunno. but in church last week my pastor did a scripture reading which i found really edifying, and comforting. the bible really does have some really nice verses to hold on to when it seems u can hold on to nothing else.


i write this entry to reproduce it here, to provide my current and future self some perspective over the life which i live now. the verse is about worry. from matt 6:25-34


" therefore i tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. are you not much more valuable than they? who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

and why do you worry about clothes? see how the lilies of the field grow. they do not labour or spin. yet i tell you that not even solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. if that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will He not much more clothe you, o you of little faith? so do not worry, saying 'what shall we eat, or what shall we drink or what shall we wear', for the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow wil worry about itself. each day has enough trouble of its own."

this is my inspiration verse of the month.
