Some bold statements.

My mother is currently confused by the instructions on how to serve a ready-to-serve lemon meringue pie. Is it then really such a mystery as to why my baking skills are sub-par at best???

Anyway. You know what I love?

Perspective.

See, this guy has real problems. Thank you for the reality check, National Geographic.

Reality checks are in no short supply for me at the moment. I attended the EQUIP conference over the weekend and received a (much needed) kick up the butt. It's funny though, the one thing that has really stuck with me didn't come from a platform speaker, but from a friend who was recalling what she learnt at an elective I didn't go to. Hers was titled Pride and Prejudice and in terms of pride, she shared with me that self-pity is in fact a form of pride. You see while you are wallowing away in your own tragedy, you are in fact saying: my sacrifice is great and taking the glory due to God.

I've fallen victim to this inward thinking lately as I consider my past and my future. I've been wallowing in my circumstances, discontent yet unwilling to move forward.

Blogosphere, I must tell you, I have reached the end of my tether. I cannot and I will not complete this degree. I cannot spend the next two years trying to prove a point. I cannot study for the sake of it. I don't know where to next but 4 years of this is quite enough. I'm finished.
