Autumn leaves arriving...

So Autumn is on its way and the leaves are starting to fall on the ground. The days are closing in and the whole idea of sitting indoors with a cup of tea and a good book seems to take on a whole new significance. Its that time of year when life seems to slow down a fair bit, and yet in studentdom things go nuts. The freshers are finally starting to settle in, the second years are becoming far more aware of what it means to 'work' at Uni, whilst the third years are just generally up to their eyes in books and notes. In the worlds of Christian ministry then its also the time when the CU starts to look towards things like House Party and general mission activities associated with Christmas and also activities that take place on a weekly basis. Agape STINTers also know that though things seem busy now that they will only get busier. So... Its a funny time of year. Its especially funny if you are a postgrad who doesen't quite know where he is up to right now. Will I be a student in 3 months time? Will I be one in 3 weeks? Who knows... Well, its not quite like that. I think I will still be a student in 3 months time but this is still an uncertain time.

The Lord is good however and as David says in Psalm 37 we should:

'Wait for the Lord and keep his way.' (Psalm 37, v 34)

Indeed the notion of waiting for the Lord and trusting in Him is something that we see elsewhere in the Psalms...

'Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.' (Psalm 27, v 14)

Seems like a good plan... ;-)
