Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

A refreshing passage that I do like very much. Haha I first took an interest to it after hearing Praise You In This Storm by Casting Crowns in which verse 1 and 2 were the lyrics of the bridge =p.
Its good to know that whatever we go through in life, God is with us and he is watching over us ^^.

Well im dead tired. Sleeping late yesterday and with BB and all today its really draining, I'd better go to sleep soon. On one hand, it feels like I havnt accomplished anything because I set out to do my physics and english over the weekend, and its tuesday soon haha. On the other hand, I got 'distracted' by Siddhartha and Hedda Gabler, so I did do school related stuff anyway haha.
And other stuff too, which are more important than 45 points are ever going to be for me. Mmm my life has a focus and I intend to pursue it. Its really quite cool really, the kind of satisfaction and joy that can be derived from choosing to priorities people in your life. Something that I have not really done considering the number of 'sorry im busy I need to do work' I had thrown at people last year. Well gotta keep working on it, there are many areas that I need to improve upon but I trust in God to lead me through.
Its interesting really. I enjoy things like dota, but it never quite gives me the satisfaction like this does. Frankly im quite prepared to cut dota for more important things in life. So im guessing I wont be playing much anymore, I still will sometimes but not as much as I used to =).
Anyway, Hedda Gabler is a pretty interesting book actually, dunno why some people were hating on it. I mean yea, shes kinda mad, but its not a completely ridiculous story that doesnt make sense. Maybe its just that some people dont like all talk no action.
I dont like the fact that even though I think the psychological, emotional and mental concepts brought up by the play were interesting, I probably wont have a chance to talk about them. I dont like literature seriously. I was reading the questions in the Siddhartha booklet today and thinking to myself 'wtshit I dont know how to answer all these, why do I even need to anyway cant I just appreciate a good book?'.
Yes, Ibsen was really pro in writing Hedda Gabler. I get it, but cant we talk about the content in it and the ideas brought up instead of focusing on how he does brings them up? Lit is annoying like that really.
Alright, thats enough for tonight. Heh tmr school ends early there shall be time to do work, plus my bro not at home so I get to use the good comp (NO DOTA THOUGH). I just hope I dont end up procrastinating heh.
