1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
monday night
finnished exams about 4pm, excellent headed to the union bar had a couple of pints with coursemates in the glorious sunshine, then headed to the common(a park) for a girls birthday had another beer, and walked back with everyone , fell asleeps for 1/2 hour was feelin a bit tipsy and very tired. then instead of cooking dinner caught a bus with some more friends to a student bar had a drink with coursemates and chatted to a group of girls from their halls, and was told one liked me. Then out of the blue one of the ohter girls was like "you're a christian arent you" and lauched into a big story about her strong christian upbringing but not being sure if its her faith, and that she really wants to sleep with someone and is running out of reasons not too. It was pretty heavy going, cause she had ALL the head knowledge but it didnt mean much, i ended up almost shouting at her "but GOd LOVES You SO much" anyway left the bar with Joe and ed different friends for a nightclub, stopped off for dinner in a chineese takeaway, and was feeling grand. Got to the club Kaos and jumped a huge queue with the birthday party from the common earlier, entered and had a few beers did some good dancing but my hip was giving a bit of jip so i ended up sitting upstairs chatting a different girl from eariler(as in another one of the same group in the bar but no the girl who i was chatting to about God) in the bar(who had since arrived in the same club) and we were getting on well, probably better than well and i was leading her on and the rest...then it came to the end and instead of leaving with my freinds from halls, i ended up a taxi with her..(what an idiot)
so after some kissing and stuff in her room she left to get changed and i just felt like my one chance to escape the situation (and almost certain conclusion of sleeping with her) was to leave... (i have been in these circumstances before and not taken God's chance in the sense of the verse in corithians, to bad results)
so after a bit of an argument in my i head i did in His strenght peg it, a la joesph and potifer.
so i ended up walking home at 4am
it was cool i left, but if i had just had a bit of sense eariler i could have not completely messed her around...
since then been to london and after working today am really grateful for my contenance (as in i can control when i crap cause me and my workmate had to change a 15 guy with autism 3 times and wiping someone elses arse is not cool)

kinda sums it up well i thiink :)
Why Do We Mess Up Exams?
A year has 365 days for you to study.
After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days
left.
There are 50 days in the summer, during which time it
is way too hot to work,
so there are only 263 days left.
We sleep 8 hours a day meaning that, in a year, that
counts up to 122 days, so
now we're left with 141 days.
If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are
gone, so we are left
with 126 days.
We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in
this way in the year,
and we are left with 96 days in our year.
We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family,
that takes away 15 days
more and we are left with 81 days.
Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year,
hence you are only left
with 46 days.
Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are
only left with 6 days.
Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days, you're left
with 3 days in the year
to study!
Let's say you only go out for 2 days! You are left
with 1 day!
But that 1 day is your birthday, so...
Good luck to everyone on your exams!

ver ytired
just got an email, full of God stuff saying basically if you love Jesus pass this on to ten people, is this right? i do forward funny stuff quite happily but that i know i goin to brighten up someone's day, i dont really reading this particular email would be that helpful, it had a good bit about not running around all you life and a bit about how God love's us personally, but it all seems a bit cheesy and crass... so if i agree with the motivation but not the phrasing should i write my own email? prehaps i will
yeah and the subject line is only open if you have time for God, pack your bags your going on a guilt trip... Jesus didnt die to make us feel guilty but then to ask for forgiveness we have to be aware we need it,
yeah so i sent one, if you read this you prob got it if not
you are beautiful,
so you are

deep thoughts
was readin a bit of "mere Christianity" by CS Lewis a bit about the personality of God and the phrase "God is Love" The Father and Son are in a constantly moving developing loving relationship like a wild beautiful dance and the Spirit is the spirit of this love, and that is what is inside us as Christians!! and all we have to do is chill submit and let the Spirit transform us. it might not be much written down by in my head its very exciting.
i always thought of God and Jesus as fixed and kind of sparate in heaven, umoving, but this idea of thier reality is amazing, and it makes sense cause think of two people who love each other passionately, (can be parental love, friendship love or man woman love) they dont just sit there they are always chasing after a deeper relationship changing moving sweeping things up along the way.
it also makes be think on Neo and Trintiy in the new Matrix they are totally dependant on the love they share each of them draws strenght from their love and will do anything for it, although it is expressed in a particularly sexual way, it appear to have echo's of Jesus and God's relationship,
particularly, when they arrive back to Zion, they come out of a lift and Neo stops to heal the sick and basically minister to the people who await him, later when he sees trintiy again,
Trinity - "They need you Neo"
Neo- "I need you Trinity"
