Well, jess is heading to work at hilton tonight...overnight!!! I'm settling in to finish off some study and then head to bed so as to get up in the morning and do a test on my management subject. Jess illuminated me to the fact that the post in which i said have a picture, ironically, the picture did not show so i will have to head back in to change that. I am thinking a bit about wisdom at the moment with my bible studys and my reading of proverbs. Thinking about how sampson was given great wisdom from God....how he knew lots of things and had the wisdom to use his knowledge. Thinking about it...i'm trying to attain wisdom...reading the proverbs and trying to be more wise, using things i know to help me feel more comfortable in life....more in control cause God is there giving me the knowledge. Also as itend to be leaning more to the jack of all trades but master of none (not sure which side of which scale i'm on but i am interested and do a lot of different things) that i might focus on one of them and develop it a lot. In reading the 'fitness first' magazine which was free for members as i exited one day, it sugested finding a balance to life in four areas...
-physical
-intellectual
-emotional
-spiritual
I wrote these down and tried to identify the things i do which come under these headings....such as
-physical (going to the gym, physical activity)
-intellectual (university degree, working)
-emotional (found this one a bit harder but i thought maybe having quiet time, reading doing things i really wanted to do-which i find a bit hard cause there are many. I don't absolutly LOVE one thing to do like playing music or reading or making models of cars...)
-spiritual...(well i thought this is my bible studies and my reading of the bible and all things like that...but i remember reading somewhere that we do not have 'spiritual lives' and 'the other side of life' it is all spiritual...so i thought while there is a time to do all these things (such as in the bible somewhere if i remember rightly..not backing up my argument but just remembering) but i think that our spiritual 'side' flows into all aspects of our lives...
So trying to get a bit of life balance here...and i thought to myself that at the moment, with the two things the i classified for myself as intellectual...they took up most of my time...and sometimes when i was trying to do my assignments and finding other things i wanted to do...maybe that is because i don't give them enough balance..cause they were all things that i found fun to a degree or other....if i fill more of that section of my time...then i can focus on the intellectual side when the time comes...
so some things i am pondering on there.....hopefully i can achieve a bit of a blance...even though i know that at the moment i am studying and working which both take up a fair bit of my time...

Hope the test went ok MW. Blogging everyday is hard eh!
I think you are right about the spiritual really being our Christian lives lived out everyday in everything, even the day to day stuff. Good point. Hope the thought goes well about the four balances.
Have you done much music recently? Sounds like you have a lot on your plate so hard to fit music in!
Later, AP
Great post MW! It is so hard to achieve a balanced life. Can relate to much of what you wrote.
Keep writing.
