PUSH!

Uni's getting a little harder now. The amount of work seems to have increased a lot, when in fact most of it isn't due until a few weeks' time. My brain is gonna implode if I'm not careful! :P

Don't get me wrong, I'm ok though. My parents will be arriving in York to visit me tomorrow, so my hug battery is gonna power up again! Woop woop! :D *does a little dance*
I've got so much to show them - new places I added to my Cat-Nav (my shopping instinct navigation system :3), my evening church (still investigating morning churches) - and I have so much to tell them, too: how well I've settled in, how I've made some new friends out of my flatmates and course-mates, meeting all the lovely people at St. Mike's, and starting to build strong(ish, at the moment) foundations for my new life in York. :)

In truth it does feel slightly overwhelming at times. There's this thing when the shock of being somewhere new "hits" you, and your feelings/perspective/both/other tip upside-down and you're not sure where you are, needing someone just to wake you up and give you a bit of fire-ignition. I first got that feeling last week just before one of my lectures, but luckily I was able to fend it off til I got back to the flat.

I'm good at bottling things up, but if you're feeling like this too, take this advice - don't bottle it. It's not healthy - I should know.

I'm very blessed to have a good ground with a few new friends at St. Mike's, all & one in particular on fire for God who don't know that they've helped me, but they really have - the said "one" may know who they are - and they've been the ignition source for me. They're also an ignition source for others, which I hope to be one day :)

My flatmates have been amazing too so far - helping to boost my hug battery as of late when I was feeling particularly low this morning!

Just to clarify - I'm not depressed, just adjusting faster than I can process at the minute. But with God's help and the support I'm getting from my new friends and my family and friends at home, I'm sure to manage well :)

I think the thing to do is just keep praying - a good way to do it is PUSH.

Pray Until Something Happens.
