I had quite a wierd but cool day today. Wierd because this morning I just felt out of sorts, a bit sad and a little without hope and encouragement. As I got to college, instead of sitting down to write my essay on Philemon, I went to the prayer room and sat for about an hour in silence - thinking, contemplating, praying and reading parts of the psalms and John's gospel. It really helped reassure me that God is a part of my life and even though may not always give quick fixes to my problems, will always be available to help me through tougher times.
I then chatted to one of my best friends over lunch and as I walked him to Queen Street station on his way home. This was a time of real encouragement to me - not because he was able to give me answers to my problems, but just by being there to hang out, listen and share his own thoughts and feelings. I am so thankful that God has given me this friendship this year, it has really helped me to re-learn about what friendship is all about. It also reminded me that often the way God answers prayer may not always be through some supernatural occurance but through the people I am surrounded by every day.
