So today was the women's day that Christchurch runs annually...I've been for the last few years and each year it gets bigger (today there were 185 women there!) and it's just a chance to meet with God as women together, we worship and pray and eat cake and are given some time out to just do business with God.
And I needed to do some business. For me, today served two purposes: firstly I needed the time out- I am feeling incredibly overwhelmed with everything I need to do (more about this later) and secondly I needed to let God do some work in me and just let some hurt and anger go and forgive some people.
Both of these things happened. I had some prayer for the second thing because I was stubbornly holding onto my anger and I didn't need to be and I realised that I didn't want to hold onto it either. So I took a breathe and I let it go. New day and no more hurt. Plus I got to hang out with a new friend and cement the friendship a bit more :)
About the overwhelmed-ness...this week I had an examined presentation for one of my modules, I have three assignments I should be writing (two due in over the next two weeks) and I officially started my new role in the CU as secretary.
I am incredibly humbled and honoured that I was asked to be on the CU exec team, it is something that I feel God is blessing me with and I am very excited about the next year and all the things we have coming up....however...we are a new group and with a new group comes teething problems as we try to work out how everyone else works and how we work as a group- incredibly normal for a new group of people but unfortunately leads to long and slightly stressful meetings. Secretary also comes with a couple of admin jobs...which I'm happy to do, I just worry about forgetting to do something because I'm so pre-occupied with normal uni work!
Silver lining? it is a lovely group that have come together, some people I know better than others, and the rest I'm looking forward to getting to know...we did have fun as a group and I can see it being an enjoyable team to work with. I'm excited about all our ideas and it'll be a good year :)
The presentation went alright I think- at least, I was happy with how I did so we'll see. The assignments are basically there and planned out...I just need to wait for the essay writing flow to hit and I'll get them done in time.
I'm just aware of timing and work and deadlines and how little free time I have!
Trying to prioritise and just trust in Him...I've managed it for the last three semesters so there's no reason this one should be any different!
Anyway, it's only just gone 10.30 and I'm going to get an early-ish night :)
Mother's day tomorrow and I'm looking forward to spending some time with my mummy!
Much love xxx
