Hi,

Its been a couple of weeks since I have edited my blog.
Well the summer is coming to an end, about time too. Its nearly 01:00 and even though I worked 10 hours today and have to be up for work tomorrow I seem to wrestle with sleep. Not the only person/thing I am wrestling with at the moment. I am still a child I guess, or am I the only kid who didnt like to go to sleep. Sleep is such a weird thing.
Anyways I have been working at my cousin drycleaners for nearly 2 weeks now. The hours are long, the weather is hot (because of the boiler in the room) and the work is monotonous. On a scale of monotomy, this work will rate very highly. Its a constant cycle of tagging, scrubbing, machine washing, pressing, sorting and bagging. I am talking about shirts by the way. The work is also high pressured. A day doesnt go by without an enquiry about a random shirt serial number which I dont remember tagging or scrubbing.You are meant to know where 100s of shirts are at 1 time. Well maybe not 100's, just the ones on the express service.
Anyho, enough about work. my life at the moment is a constant routine, which I extremely loath. I wake up, shower, brush my teeth, have a shower, dress, eat, go to work, come back from work, eat, watch tv/ internet and sleep. Thats my life at the moment. The words of the Switchfoot song "Meant to Live", ring so true at the moment. Nothing wrong with work, but work aint meant to be your life.I guess I should take some responsiblity for structuring my evenings. Do something more worthwhile and productive. Thinking of starting Digging Deeper by Nigel Beynon and Andrew Sachs
I seriously need to stop saying anyway. Anyway.lol. In terms of my relationship with God over the summer, its been a bit weird. My first year of uni was great, loads of growth and I actually learnt so much from the Word about the character of God. Over the summer, I have slipped into a part time Christian routine. I pray everday and I rely on God, but not really spending much time with him. I fell a real need to get into the word. I guess you could describe it as a thirst or a hunger. I feel empty, I feel dry. In my case knowing what I need to do and doing it are two polar opposites. I felt an urge to start reading John's Gospel and praying over it in the mornings, but that as yet to happen. Tonight would have been great to start but I failed again. Thought I'd have dinner, watch "the Bill" then have a quiet time. Didnt happen, instead I did the dinner and "the Bill" bit then watched a massive chunk of Ronin and then watched an episode of spooks I have seen before. Why do I have such a weakness for TV? I guess maybe its a voyeuristic thing with me. I like to know things. Maybe watching other people living/imitating life, whilst you let it pass you by is a release.Ahhhhhhhhh.
I am going to get to bed now, should get a couple of winks if I will survive work tomorrow. I am sure I will regret my candour on this blog in the morning.

God Bless,

Have a good day,

Keeks
