Purpose Driven Life

Today is the day. Well... the day before my periode of exams. And I'm trying to study very hard, trying to put those last thins in my head, but it seems like my brains are saying: "hey! enough now! we can't handle this much information!" And I can only agree... The first week of my holidays I could not get myself to study, so this last week has been a bit stressfull. Tomorrow I have a re-examination civics, that will be ok I think. But tuesday.... math and music.... Math is just to much and I've studied to little and music is just frustrating; it's about the whole history of music and that's really interesting on itself I think, but there are sooo many details that I lose the general view. That's not funny. But yeah, we will see, I'll just leave it in Gods hands, hehe. He knows everything right, so if He just wispers some answers in my ear, I will pass those exams easily!

Other interesting news: I'm reading a book of Rick Warren at the moment, called The Purpose Driven Life - What on earth am I here for? Speaks for itself I would say :-D. The writer calls it a 40 day spiritual trip and that's what it is. I'm only on day 4, but you've got to start somewhere, right? Every day teaches you an important lesson and gives you a subject and a question to think about during the day and a bible-verse to remember. I like it. I'm in my last year of school and I still do not know what to do after that. I'm learning now how to find a vision, but also to see my life in the perspective of eternity. My subject to think about of today was: "Life is much more than just the 'here and now' " and that ís sometimes a thing I tend to forget. If you look at life in the perspective of eternity, some things aren't so important as they used to be. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says: He has also set eternity in the hearts of men. So why not follow our hearts?!

God gave me a picture yesterday (I still think it's a weird comparison :-). It was about free-range cattle. It takes much longer before the product the farmer wants to produce is ready, but when it's ready, it tastes better, it looks better and it's more healthy then any other similar product. And God said: "If you are patient, I will give you the best there is". So I'm really trying to be patient!!

That's it for now, studying again...
