beg, borrow, steal..

do what you need to do, but if you like music at all, get hold of the live acoustic version of high tide, low tide sung by jack johnson and ben harper. your ears will thank you for it. feel fairly certain bob marley would too

so now, you want to know what's going on? i think i'm going to be a counsellor.
and i'm so excited.....eeeeeeeeeek

i was reminded today of the ever-so true notion of being careful what you wish for. let me talk you through it..

on monday, i came home from an internet-fest of a day at work thinking how good it would be to do an MA in Globalisation and International Policitcal Analysis at Bath.

Today I came home from work (bear in mind they are only four, the total number of days between the two sunsets) fairly sure, well, to the giddy-point, that really a job in counselling, possibly ultimately based in a workplace, consultancy-type role, is really the way to go.

so quite a leap, you might say, from monday's conclusion to today's.
however
almost five years ago a dear friend was praying for me as i became baptised in the spirit. he told me to ask for the gifts i desired. i wanted only two. first, to have discernment of people's hearts, to see their fears and hopes, and help the two to equal love. second, to have wisdom through the nations, to see the movements of lands and people we generally call international relations.

and who says i can't believe i'm a gemini?

this split personality means i've spent nearly three years since graduation having odd-numbered days wanting the one, then even days wanting nothing more than the other

i have all but decided that in order to have a hope of seeing either of them form the work-part of my life, i gotta stop creeping around them and walk towards one...... and the scene of international dealings and whatnot is so far from the realms of capability or even thought of this shire girl at present, that i feel i must opt for the latter. and i love the idea. the qualifications will take time, but its time i have, and time i am as of right now, prepared to spend. i shall await instruction from the lord but i'm pretty much giving him a deadline.

if anyone has ever, in any country, in any capacity, heard of a job in which the twain could meet, do let us know...i might get some sleep then
jolly exciting stuff though
