Change

This is something I'm struggling with in my life right now.

You see things don't always stay the same. Just when you get comfortable with where you're at, things can suddenly all go different. I've recently entered into a huge change in my life.

I've gone from Year 13 home-schooler to Tertiary Student. 

My whole life I've been educated from home and I'm so thankful for that and for the sacrifices my parents made and are still making for that to happen for me and my brothers and sisters. But this way of life is making it such a massive change going into the context of learning that I'm now in. I'm studying a National Certificate in Business Administration and Computing (long enough title?) at Weltec. I'm in class rooms. I have to pack lunch. I have an hour long bus commute to get there every day. I interact with people from all different backgrounds and cultures. I have work to do outside class times. I have tutors. I got a student ID card. All these things are completely new to me. They're changes. 

My first week of Tech I was really quite overwhelmed. I didn't know if I could handle it. I almost believed that I couldn't do this new thing because of how different and foreign it was to me. But guess what? I'm now in week 4 of the course and I'm actually really enjoying it! That's not to say it's easy, far from it. But I'm adapting to a new routine, new people, new ways of learning and all round new experiences.

God has been my total rock throughout this whole thing. I've leaned on Him so heavily as I've faced challenges. I'm so thankful that He always has a listening ear and a guiding Spirit to help me every day.

There's other changes going on in my life right now too, things that are difficult to deal with and hard to understand but I know that God understands even when I don't. I find so much comfort in knowing that God has good plans for me. That He will never leave nor forsake me. Even in all this change one thing will always remain the same ~

GOD'S LOVE.

Despite all this unknown, I'm going to choose to trust Him. I'm going to choose to let Him lead me. I'm going to choose to live in His love every day and seek to honour Him with my life. 

Thank you God for the way you are working and moving amidst these changes.
