I'm trying to avoid study at the moment by blogging. I was going to post a blog a few days ago but decided against it, I was going to blog about last weekend...but i decided against it. ooo!! except i have to mention karaoke last friday!
So last Friday my uni friends and I finally decided to go karaoke after months of just talking about it during our breaks. hahaha i LOVE karaoke. You can tease me alll you like. Wouldn't you agree that karaoke is THE only time you can sing in public all those 'old' 90's pop music that you secretly like deep down without getting bashed? So out came all those classic karaoke songs that could pretty much define karaoke: backstreet boys, spice girls, S club 7, Celine dion, Mariah Carey and all those lovey dovey power ballads. Singing makes me haaappyyy =) (i shall add photos when I can be bothered)
Anyway...over the past few days I've been following the story of King Solomon as part of my morning QTs. To be honest, after QT this morning, discouragement was the intial feeling that came to me which is quite the opposite to how i usually feel after. You don't have to know the bible back the front and inside out to know that King Solomon was the wisest man to have ever lived and is to be the wisest man who will ever live on this Earth. King Solomon asked God for wisdom and God gave it to him in the bucket loads but despite all this, King Solomon stuffed up big time. Sure..for the most part he was extremely successful and greatly favoured in everyone's eyes but by the end of his life, Solomon had messed up everything...and this is what troubled me. If Solomon was supposed to be THE wisest person to have ever walked the earth yet he still made such terrible mistakes in life..what hope do I have? I have made some pretty bad decisions in the past and I try and convince myself that as a result I am now a wiser person and as I grow older I will continue to grow in wisdom and hopefully I won't fall into the trap of making stupid decisions again. I guess after reading about Solomon, reality has started to creep in. As I was walking from the station to uni today I guess God gave me a reality check...it didn't make me feel very good but I needed it. I so desperately need a Saviour. It doesn't matter how wise i think i am...I'm going to stuff up big time if i walk away. I have so many big decisions to make at the moment and I know there are going to be even bigger decisions I'll have to eventually face and I so desperately need God to direct me because if the wisest man to have ever walked can't make the correct decisions...what hope do i have?
