A Curious Girl: Seize the day, take a risk

I feel lonely when it's you I miss
I feel crazy when I dream like this
I've travelled all this way for just one kiss
Is it bliss? Is it bliss? Yes it is

Back to school tomorrow! Also my competition entry has to be in. So I'll print it off (yes, I've done something, although whether it is good is another matter) along with the stuff on the Knight and my next letter to Eric.

I'm feeling good. Which is quite unusual, but I'm not one to complain. Well, actually I am, but not about feeling above average.

Sorted some files out - still got a bit of psychology and all of Biology to do, but I'm waiting for Mum to get me some dividers. Not going to do English Lit., as it strikes me as a waste of time. If I read the books properly I won't even bother reading through my notes, much less organising them. For some reason, spending a year studying four books seems like a bit of a farce. Although Arcadia is ridiculously complex. Maybe I'll keep my notes for that one, although I am allowed to take it into the exam, so perhaps I'll write the most important ones in the book.

Been to Church. Ooh, that was actually really good. Songs were cool (Women sang first in 'Men of Faith' - note that, Chris!) and David did his usual dissection of a Bible passage about the three servants with the talents. I remember being really scared by this one when I was little, because I thought that to be a good servant you had to be a good accountant, but thankfully even a spendthrift like me can get on in life successfully. The 'talents' by the way, are weights. So the passage was referring to responsibility. He said that we should be unafraid to take our responsibilities, and realise that things are going to go wrong, but sometimes things are going to go right, and in the end we will be productive. I think he was referring to the rejection Christians (and other believers, but I will not go into that) often get when they try to share Jesus with others. Basically, he said that we have to take risks, because that's the only way anything's going to happen. Become complacent and you have nothing, you're spending money even when you aren't earning. I thought about this, and I suppose that can apply to anything.

It got me thinking about my responsibilities, talents etc. and I realised that I have done hardly anything with my writing gifts other than to write this diary and to write e-mails. Maybe I should take the risk, and send stuff off to a publisher for once? After all, if I have the gifts, the greatest joy must be the sharing of it with others.

And the other thing, is it doesn't just apply to gifts. It can apply to friends. Take the chance to be rejected, share your love with them and you may find you've changed both your lives.

So, how did you enjoy the regurgitated sermon?
