Thanks guys. I appreciate the encouragement from everyone. I don't always feel squashed, I think yesterday was a squashed feeling day. I think I'm just in limbo at the moment. I'm waiting to start bible college in a couple of weeks, and feeling a bit in between things. I guess I just have too much time on my hands at the moment, feeling a bit lost and yeah, just in between things.
But I really excited about going to bible college. I can't wait to get back into some study and learn heaps more. I'm really looking forward to being intellectually stimulated, and to being personally challenged. I got my enrollment stuff in the mail today which I'm really excited about! I get to do all that form filling in stuff now, and look into getting textbooks and all that 'school' stuff you have to do before commencing a course. I can't wait to go staionary shopping!
Glad you are feeling better. I believe that it's a long journey for everyone to reach their potential. If before we go to sleep everynight we can think of even just one thing we have done to further that journey, show abit more of our true selves, then it's a day well spent and we can relax.
Meags you are well on you way to your potential, I do think that we are harsher on ourselves that what in reality we should be. You have many big positive steps coming up in the near future to look forward to:) Not to forget all the steps you have already taken!
Cheers,

Make the most of the good, and ride out the bad, as they will always pass.
(hopefully).
Ponder on these ones, if you've bought the whole "Human emotions are silly and bad" line:
"The joy of the Lord shall be your strength..."
"My peace I leave with you..."
"Love the Lord with all your HEART, soul and mind..." (emphasis added).
Seems as though emotions are one of the biggest parts of our faith, and one of the most common promises that God gives us! I was surprised when I ran that past the ol' Word-test, and came up with emotions being great! We just gotta seek the right ones form the right source :)
Interesting a lot of the stuff David says in the Psalms, hey? About God turning his favour away and ignoring David's cries.
David's perception or spiritual reality?
