Changing Direction

It has been so long since I've posted on my blog that I don't even remember half of the stuff I have posted. Hence the title of this post; "Changing Direction". The last time I posted was in 2010. It is currently February 2012. You may be wondering what I have been doing this past year. Well don't wonder, because nothing really exciting happened. All I can say is that 2011 was by far the worst year of my life. But it is over, God is good, and I'm moving on. I took a gap year after year 12 and worked at boost pretty much every day. I saved a bit but not much. That pretty much sums up my year in a nut shell.

This year is an exciting one for me because I'm starting my first year of University. I'm studying a bachelor of primary education. There is nothing else in this entire world that I could possibly think of doing for the rest of my life. Children are my passion. They are my ministry, and I want to be a part of it for the rest of my life! I want to change the lives of the children I teach. So that means I have to work, and I have to work HARD. I was never really a good studier at school. In fact the only study I ever did was cramming as much knowledge as I could into my brain the night before an exam.. But this year is different. I actually care about my studies. I actually want to succeed. I want to become a teacher!!! So i have spent every timetable break doing home work, reading my text books, taking notes and organizing myself. I even bought a whiteboard for my room to keep myself organized. And yeah this may sound nerdy, but I actually LIKE studying!!! Like a like it, a LOT! It makes me feel excited. So anyway, that's that.

Church is amazing as always. I can't even comprehend what my life would be like without God! He is so great. I am still teaching Sunday school. This term I have the girls class and everything is pink and princessy. It's gorgeous! I am so very privileged to be working with Melanie again this term. I learn so much from her and she is such an inspiration to me!

I found that I have grown over the last year, not only in height (I grew 9 centimeters!) but also in my walk with God. I've experienced so much in the past year that has shaped me and inspired me. I'm not ashamed of the choices I've made, because they have helped me to become who I am today. I believe that the biggest mistake we can make is not learning from the past.

That's all from me. Hopefully I'll be on more frequently!

Stay Blessed
