Three nights ago some men broke into the school and stole my computer and three of my friends computers. Let me give you the run down:
I left my laptop in the computer room thinking it would be completley safe. My friend was in the computer room until 2am. When she was finished she walked up the stairs and unlocked the front door, walked outside and saw two men running around the hedge at the front of the school. This means they were able to get into the computer room and steal four computers in about 2 minutes, they also would have hid from us while doing lock up and the would have been watching my friend and waiting for her to leave the room. Creepy. So my laptop is gone, but strangly enough I am not upset about this. Yes, all my pictures, lecture notes, music and videos from the last twelve months in Europe were on it but I don´t need those things to feel satisfied. My satisfaction comes from Christ alone.
Today was my day off and I spent it on the beach. I was admiring the Alps that he created and listening to the water and thinking about Genesis where it says, ´his presence was hovering over the waters.´ I opened up my bible and turned to Isaiah 64. This is what I read:
´Oh that you would rend from the heavens and come down, and all the mountains would quake...No eye has seen a God besides you....We all fade like a leaf, and all our iniquites, like the wind, take us away.´
Man. I really don´t need anything or anyone besides him. My life is but a breath, it is quickly fading. My satisfaction comes from Christ alone.
