Yes - I confess
Yes Matt (see comments on post below) I must confess - I didn't pray for the match last night. Sincere apologies - will do better for the Croatia match.
I continue to amaze myself with my ability to be really quite distractable (is that a word - should be anyway) from the task at hand which is studying for my two exams. I have put it down to the fact that it has now been a year since I started uni and I haven't had a break (not even a week). Summer Semester is a great idea and is the only way I could get the amount of subjects done in the time left however I can sense the sails are loosing their wind a little....! I am thoroughly looking forward to 4 whole weeks with no uni!
Dear me, I do sound like I am whinging. I'm not - I'm so thankful for the strength and sustaining power of God. One of my much loved verses and concepts is - His grace is sufficient for me. Everything I do is empowered, surrounded and covered by Him. He is my energy and my wisdom. He is all I need. I am so thankful for all He has done.

A quick run down....
As I was looking at blogs, and silently chastising the authors for not updating, I too realised I was guilty. So here's a little entry for reading pleasure (or displeasure) or however you find it.
Puppies: v v cute. Their eyes are open. Trying to walk now - very clumsily.
Uni: exams bearing down upon me. seem to be later than most peoples. good thing too.
Hillsong: just weeks away! yay!
Tea: bought artic fire loose leaf tea saturday. v v nice.
Coffee: enjoying espresso from phillips senseo. highly recommended.
Journalling: have enjoyed Romans. spending much time thinking about love for others.
Last home cooked meal: scrambled eggs at lunch today. It's only the third time in my life I have cooked scrambled eggs.

My horrible wisdom tooth story
Ok - first up, a shout out to Matt and Steff, who I saw earlier tonight at Vibe Night. I promised I would blog this so here I am ...
I went back to my oral surgeon the other day who removed my wisdom teeth a few weeks ago. They have been healing up ok, but on Sunday my mouth was hurting - particularly singing at three services.
I mentioned this when I saw her and she said it shouldn't still be sore so she'd have a look at it. So look at it she did.
Oh yes - I can see you have a sore spot there. Hmm, it looks like you have a piece of bone sticking out the gum....
To which I casually replied - That would be why it feels like it's catching.
I am so brave.
She removed the piece of bone.
It's feeling much better.
I am so brave.
See Matt and Steff - I told you it was horrible.

A great quote from Reversed Thunder by Eugene Peterson
"'We live in a noisy world. We are yelled at, promoted, called. Everyone has an urgent message for us. We are surrounded with noise: telephone, radio, television, stereo. Messages are amplified deafeningly. The world is a mob in which everyone is talking at once and no one is willing or able to listen. But God listens. He not only speaks to us, he listens to us. His listening to us is an even greater marvel than his speaking to us. It is rare to find anyone who listens carefully and thoroughly. It is rare to find our stammering understood, our clumsy speech deciphered, our garbled syntax unraveled, sorted out and heard—every syllable attended to, every nuance comprehended. Our minds are taken seriously. Our feelings are taking seriously. When it happens we know that what we say and feel are immensely important. We acquire dignity. We never know how well we think or speak until we find someone who listens to us.'"
