This aint no ordinary love

I'm currently listening to Toby Mac's song:

"This aint no ordinary love, gonna tell ev'ry one under sun"

I cant help feeling that is where I want to be- telling every one under the sun about this love I've got. But I'm not allowed to say that- I was spending time reading my bible this morning and writing about it in my journal- let me share it.
I was looking at the first chapter in Romans (again) and verses 11 and 12 really spoke to me. This is what I wrote:

"My longing is the same as Paul's, to meet new people and be a blessing to them, whether spiritually or physically - I want to give people what God has given me.
"It is all very well wanting to do these things, but I wait for the day when I can say "I gave these people/person something that God has given me". - I mean, I don't want to be blowing my trumpet about it - but I think it will help me to actually practice what I want to do"

I don't really know what to write today... I think I'm tired today.

Since Sunday I guess I've done quite a lot.
Monday I was given my first essay to write, the title being, "Scarcity is the central economic problem in all societies, irrespective of the economic system. Discuss."
I had no idea what to write! I didn't even know properly what scarcity is- but Tuesday evening I went to the library and did a whole load of research- my essay is almost complete- its got to be in on Wednesday next week.
I then went to Oceana for the beach party- it was good fun, not too late, like 2am in. Everyone was amazed when I bought a J2O at the bar, but I was happy.

Tuesday I enrolled officially which means that soon I'll have my student loan come through.

Wednesday (yesterday) I had my timetable given to me in the morning- I get Wednesdays and most Fridays off. I was going to play 5-a-side football in the afternoon, but 2 of the guys we had lined up pulled out due to hangovers and lectures- hopefully we'll play tomorrow afternoon. Instead I went to the SU with one of my class mates- we had a good chat then wondered over to the Freshers' commercial fair where we did a competition to see who could get the most freebies- I won! -I think it was the tin of baked beans that won it for me!

Like I said, I read bits of my Bible this morning. I got up at 7.20 so to be awake for the fire alarm at 7.30, but when it didn't go off by 7.40 I decided to grab my bike and take a ride- I went right down to the coast and followed it around, watched the boats, the frigates, watched the navy lads on their morning jog then running up and down hills. I sat and read and wrote then cycled some more in the other direction. Later I bought an OS Map so maybe tomorrow I will cycle again and go further afield- we'll see.

Now I'm going to finish my essay, maybe ring Claire, cook some tea then maybe sleep or maybe go out...

This feels like it has been a boring blog post, I've had a quiet day- think I'm probably missing home a bit.

One last thing- last night I joined the CU in going to the cinema, we watched Tropic Thunder (a bit of a disappointment) On the way there I spotted this guy sleeping in the doorway of some offices, so on the way back I ran into the garage shop, bought a sandwich and dairy milk and gave it to, he was sound asleep so I left it by him- hopefully a nice surprise this morning when he woke up. -I gave something away that God gave me- that makes me feel good- its only a little bit, but hopefully a big impact. That's the extra-ordinary love God is.
