Hi All !
So I am finally home !
The truth is I have been home for three weeks, and have started to write many blogs, but I always get a writers block moment, or something else comes up and I never get to finish. I am determined this will not be another one !
So as I might have mentioned in my last post, university is on the cards for next year. But what everybody wants to know is: What am I doing until then?
I have many underlying plans, many plans that I will achieve, but people are always interested in what I actually do during the day. The common question is: Do you work? The answer is yes, I do work, having said that my shifts are very few and far between, I am looking for another job so I can get more shifts, but yes, searching is the word.
Somehow however my days are completely consumed by other things, I can count how many days I have had at home completely resting on less than one hand, and that is painfully sinking in as my body is slowly coming down with sickness, having also said that, I have had the flu/a cold for about two months now that I really should deal with. But somehow magically, I don't have the time to go to the doctors.... I don't even fully know how that works..
Being home I have been settling back into my youth group and am fully enjoying what we are doing. Our youth camp is coming up soon which is extremely exciting! So plans are going under way to prepare for that. :)
As for other plans that I made for when I come home, they are slowly moving into action, which is great :) I am learning a lot about when "The right timing" is.
As for other things, I have started a video blog on YouTube, however I have hit a huge road bump from the editing side of things as my computer has run out of disc space (Yay for convenience). So I currently have tapped a new laptop on my list of things I need to buy.
I think everyone has those lists. The ones that somehow grow quicker than they shrink. Along with my "need to buy" list, I have a "Need to do" list, which is considerably longer. Issues do occur though when the lists overlap, and then you get the middle list of "I need to do this, but first I need to buy that". I also think the "I need to buy" list has a tiny subcategory line that says "But first I need finance", which is a little annoying and the biggest issue of it all. Somehow all things on both lists will disappear, only to be replaced by newer things, it's the other circle of life. *Lifts Simba high in the air*
So life goes on and plans are being made for various things, growing up happens, and that's life.
I am glad however, that I am determined not to have an average boring life, I don't want issues of the world to hold me down, I would rather stand up and change them.
Maybe that is why I want to learn a language at uni, two languages means easier travel, travel means the world opens up, when the world opens up, opportunities grow, and when opportunities grow you are usually put in a place of influence, and people with influence can make change. Having said that, the only reason you travel (in the way I am talking about) is because you have started changing your community, or something else that effects people. I know that one of the things I have started working on would change things, however getting to the point I am at has taken many hours for such little results.
Perseverance is another thing I have spent all year learning about. We all have these great idea's but I bet the statistic for how many people actually achieve what they dream of is low. Privileged is a little bit of an understatement when I say that some of my dreams have already been achieved. It was definitely all Gods hand that changed things. :3
But yes, step by step, day by day, things are building, and it is truly exciting and wonderful to see. I guess I got to the point where I stopped listening to people say things like: "You can't" or more subtly "That will cost a lot of money" or even better those comments that if I typed them would sound positive, but as soon as it is in someone's mouth they are the complete opposite. Because the answer is, if I truly wanted too, I can do it, money is that funny thing that God provides, support provides, and people help provide when they too can see the same vision that you do. And all those comments that are said in a discouraging way get over ruled as soon as you do something about what you are trying to achieve, because then you know you can do it.
Don't know, that's my experience and thought rolled into one. We all think differently :D
That's all for now I guess,
Have a great rest of week ! :)
