New beginnings
It has been quite a long time once again since I have
done an update, so here I go!In the past few months there have been different
things in my life that I have needed to go through, with family and friends,
but I can say with full confidence that God is good, and no matter what, I know
that He is in control of all things. I am so happy and just in general really excited for
things in my life to begin. I only have a few more short months left in school,
and will then be free, so at the moment my main focus is graduating with the
grades I need to eventually get into the universities I want to. I know that in my last update, I talked about
the university I want to join, however there have been some changes since
then.
I still definitely want to do a gap year, and in that time do a DTS, and earn some money. However I have now finally decided 100% as to what I want to eventually be studying, and in what country. I am hoping to move to the UK in 2014 and study International Relations, Political Science. I had a great difficulty at first deciding this, as politics is one of my interests that I enjoy so much, however I also was considering studying Creative Arts, where I would have been studying Music, Theatre and Dance, which are other great hobbies of mine. But now I have come to my conclusion and am so excited for my DTS and University to start, and for school to finally finish, and to be able to get on with my life.
Due to the fact that I am so close to graduating and need to be working like crazy and studying as much as possible, I get to enjoy a great lack of sleep, which does eventually take its toll, and I find myself falling asleep at the most inconvenient times. The only thing keeping me “motivated” or to some extent, is being so close to completing it all. I feel like I can see the theoretical “finish line” of this part of my life, and I am just now trying to sprint, and give it as much as I can at the moment.
In the last few weeks as I said, there have been old chapters coming to an end, and new ones starting. When chapters come to an end, and when you have to leave people behind, it can be difficult and I have to admit, it hasn’t been something which was easy for me. However the comfort that I have is that throughout this, I just felt God lead me, and show me that ending this one aspect in my life was something that He had actually been putting on my heart for a few months. I finally decided to listen. Now even though it was difficult, God gave me such peace over everything, and new joy, showing me the new possibilities now in this newly started chapter.
I am looking forward to my future, and the things which are now to come. God is good!
