Reflections

Last night I saw the end of the year that was 2013... I remember begging for a better year last year... And it came right at the end... I can't believe what a wirlwind of stuff that has happened for me in the last 12 months I think... So many Changes and so many painful memories but grown all the better for them, however the last 8 months was pretty awesome, my best friends wedding, May I begun my 25th year, celebrating my dads big birthday, enjoying many exciting events for me, my biggest achievement being graduating from university with a BA Hons, Holiday with friends, leaving my job after 3 years.. And much more..

Saying goodbye to England and beginning my travels in September I arrived in Australia, then after a battering on my relationship with God and who I am I found God all over again in the last 3 weeks of being in Melbourne. For me I really can't believe how amazing the people I love and care about have been there for me.. Specially at the beginning but of course more than that I'm turely greatfall to God dispite my stubbornness and dealing with what I've dealt with and facing the challenges head on I don't know where I would be without my faith in him and also other peoples faith in me :-) I'm so unbelieveable proud of who Iam and what I achieved specially completling my Degree was a massive achievement in my eyes.. Shows that school and don't have no clue what they were talking to me about as a teenager because I proved them wrong.

But now is the time to look forward into a future no to far that we worry about where we will end up because I'm now living for the now I may be far away from the ones I love very dearly but know this I'm better that I was and I will be better still. I still believe in the passage that someone once reminded me of the day I started my degree I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I know that this year 2014 will be just as amazing there's so much yet to happen, I have so many plans.

Looking back over the last couple of weeks that I've been in Melbourne a lot of growing and such has happened for me... I've made some positive changes in my life and step most important back into following God. I suppose seeing all that I've seen and facing challenges all it does is make me stronger. It was difficult for me to step back into a church and trust people again but it was worth it when I did it. I met with God as well as making so awesome new friends whom I hope to get to know a lot more over the next six months while in Melbourne. I think lastly I'm reminded twice how the creator of the universe is real and created the sunsets but still values me and want to invest in me. 

So here's to more exciting things to come as I end my first day of Jan 2014... To everyone I love at home and here in Australia and else wherever you are, I wish you much love and blessings for 2014 

Lots of Love 

Rosie :-)
