Being in a convent huge amounts of time are dedicated to it. It is the focus of life here and still, I confess, I'm terrible at it. I've been putting effort into it lately and it seems to be paying off, which in itself is somewhat worrying at times. Am I really just imagining these things? I don't think so, but that too seems weird at times.
Since putting more effort into personal prayer as opposed to just the offices things seem more related to God. It really is strange, and what's even more so is I'm blogging this!!!
I had a really long day at work - it took me an hour longer than normal to leave because there was so much going on!! I got back here late, and over supper we had quite a warm (in terms of heated) discussion on how evangelical was evangelical. By the time it came to Compline I really didn't feel like going. I went and sat in the chapel, and not really knowing what else to do, I thought I'd pray. Not so long a go we had a sermon about not going to God with a 'Shopping list' so I've just been spending time without a list some days, and with a list others. It's been good, I just need to keep going really.
ARGH. I'm turning into a religious nut. I'm blogging my prayer life.
My sister is passing her uni course well which is good, and the job's still going well. I'm going away for a few days so no blogging for a bit. How will I survive, now I'm getting the hang of it. Oh well. Off to pack now.
Night all.
