Hello Xanga!Well, it's certainly been a long while since I last updated. Why? Because I've basically had more work to do than I've had enough time or energy to cope with.
Today in cell group, we all shared about highlights+/lowlights of 2007 and hopes for 2008. Here's what I came up with:
Lowlights of 2007:
- Realising that I have wasted my life working to other people's and my own expectations of me instead of God's.
- Getting uni rejections
- Not getting my own way
- Crummy summer holiday in Cornwall when it rained all the time and druing which my family spent the week arguing and shouting at each other
- Dealing with unis and UCAS in general
- Spending too much time questioning my motivations and wondering what the future holds
- Spending too much time crying. (yeah, I did a lot of this, and the ironic thing is that I HATE doing it
)
Highlights of 2007:
- Learning that little kids are OK, and that quite often they can teach you a lot more about yourself in 5 minutes than you can teach them in a 1hour of Sunday School (not that I didn't try!)
- Learning that it's OK to fail sometimes
- Putting my future into God's hands
- Nuturing friendships
- Finishing my extended essay
- Getting my first uni offer
- Eating more chocolate than ever
- My 18th birthday - yeah, I know I complained at the time, but now I am somewhat greatful that my nearest and dearest peeps forced me to do something. Mostly, it's because it was a good excuse to spend time with the people I actually love.
Hopes for 2008:
- Setting God as my guide, motivation and reason
- Pass the IB with flying colours - a friend and I made a pact to get 45/45. We can do it! and we'll show those poos who have ever doubted/rejected us!
- Learn to drive
- Get more sleep - well, one can dream...
- Learning to be "captivating" - GAG girlies will know what I'm talking about!
