hmm when i am alone i tend to reflect a lot and it usually goes two ways... either a depressed lonely feeling OR a happy having joy-in-the-Lord feeling... i really should get rid of the first one >_< often i easily fall into the trap of thinking that things aren't going well and that nobody cares or whatever >_< but it's so baaad because God, YOU ARE ENOUGH!! but right now i am having one of those good moments :) when i can count my blessings and see that i truly am very very blessed. I have friends that will encourage me not just with words like "you can do it!" or "just work harder!" but with spiritual encouragement and reminders that the focus is always to do all things for Him and not for our own desires, wants and needs. I guess sometimes it's difficult to say these things and sometimes it even feels taboo... but i'm beginning to become more open in my spiritual encouragement as well and i'm so happy i have such good people around me that help me grow and get through university. God, You are sooo good ^^
anyways i haven't been blogging much >_< but update = work has been tough and it's kind of derailed my whole keener streak and my devo time :( SO I MUST GET BACK ON TRACK!

Thanks for sharing!
God alone is enough :) I think that it is a blessing to have a spiritual community (fellowship) where we can get support and encouragement by others. But ultimately, we ought not to depend on it (fellowship) but it should point back to God, our source of strength and joy.
It's good to take time to reflect often, and even when I might not feel as joyful, and there are times when I am sad or frustrated, I think it is ok to be honest with God about my current state. The goal is that the joy we experience is not something dependent on the external circumstances.
