Day 170/252 - Saturday 12th April

Had a mini DTS reunion with Amal, Keith, Karen and Martina. Then slipped and fell, injuring my back, ouch. Still managed to stay up until midnight to finish my work. Tomorrow is a new day :)

Day 169/252 - Friday 11th April

Still working on Song of Songs... I’ve been impacted by the interpretation that the lover was defiled by the king and she was rescued by her beloved who created a safe environment to build love upon. He calls her our of the cleft in the rock and creates a safe environment for her to be with him. He is gentle and he is kind with her, loving her no matter what has happened and rescuing her from her place of shame. Both their names in Hebrew are from the word for peace, so their relationship was built upon peace. 
This book is so healing for my thoughts on what love really is and how God intends love to be between one man and one woman. Someone called it 'The original design of True love'. I’ve cried over this book many times this week because I see God’s heart of what he has for us in relationships, in safety, protection and vulnerability. 

Day 168/252 - Thursday 10th April

Day 165/252 - Monday 7th April

Proverbs today! Don't have much time to really get into it in depths but got a really good overview and finished my assignment.
We have song of Solomon and ecclesiastes this week so want to keep on top of my time management.
Remembering how much I love the people on this course, I am so fortunate to be part of this school with such incredible people.
We've all been so happy to be back together today, it's been a good day. Although most of us would agree we could do with another week off :)
There's a new dts and bcc here now so it's full steam ahead into the third term.
This morning after worship we went to the classroom and Andy posed this question.
Which are the 3 books we're doing this week...wisdom: proverbs....love: song of Solomon....what is the point: ecclesiastes.
Bring it on..... :)
