Grandpa died 19th October 2009. He was a sinner, who loved the Lord with all his heart. He was a forgiven sinner. He served his God, and now living in the eternal presence of his Lord and maker.
Why do I feel like crap? How selfish am I?! I miss him so much. I am sitting here typing, in a puddle of tears, my grief goes on, and always will do. I have no idea how my Gran deals with it. Every morning she wakes up...alone...but we're not alone. He lives!
We have a strong and certain hope
Fixed and unchanging not in vain
We have a friend in heaven's court
Since Jesus rose to life again
We have an anchor for the soul
Since Jesus' blood has made a way
Into the deepest heart of God
Before the Father's throne of grace
I know he lives
Jesus is alive
And he reigns in glory now
I know he lives
And with him we'll rise
Hallelujah
I know he lives
We have a King high over all
The new creation's firstborn Son
New heav'n and earth await his call
We shall be like him when he comes
We see him now in majesty
Enthroned above the galaxies
Until his glory burst the skies
And all creation joins the cry
I know he lives
Jesus is alive
And he reigns in glory now
I know he lives
And with him we'll rise
Hallelujah
I know he lives
Jesus is alive
And he reigns in glory now
I know he lives
And with him we'll rise
Hallelujah
I know he lives
I know he lives
I know he lives

My sorrow and sadness are nothing compared to the immeasurable greatness of My Lord.
I can't write anything more, I don't have words to type.

not getting enought sleep
So... university life... what is it like... There are good and bad bits.
The bad... my flatmates are lovley people, but my word they like to drink, a lot. They have an uncanny ability to down vast volumes of the alcoholic stuff, and it seems to have very little affect upon them. They are loud, rude, they have parties late into the night, and we have had a huge range and variety of guests, not once have I been asked to they can have people round. They have however, informed me of their planned guests by post it notes left on my door, and which point it is quite difficult to discuss the details. It is very easy to sit here and slag my new flatmates off, it is even easier to do it and to enjoy getting all this off my chest. However, it would be totally unfair to do this... They are a lovely bunch of people, when sober, they can be very deep and thoughtful. I just know that God has put me in this flat for a purpose, so I want to keep on going, praying daily that by His Spirit he will give me grace enough to deal with it. That he will give me the right words to say, and the right attitude, these people NEED to know Jesus love personally.
The good... the Christian Union is a godly group of people, who love the Lord Jesus, and love each other. I have fitted in and am very excited for what the Lord has planned for the CU over the next few weeks, months and years.
My course seems like it will be enjoyable, and many of it's aspects are what I really enjoy. Theatre History, practitioners etc. I am looking forward to developing a deeper ability to relfect, which is one major part of the course.
So, at the end of Freshers' week, I write some good and some bad, but as one of my new CU friends has just reminded me... every cloud has a silver lining, perhaps I should look to the clouds and find some linings!
