Tonight i had CY and one of the leaders, Mike, did a talk on the HSC and future uni life. During the hour or so he compelled me to question my future and what i wanted to get out of uni.

He talked about the large amount of free time and freedom we had but sadly at the expense of teachers spoon feeding us and us changing our study patterns to one that was more independent. As he talked about that suddenly, the once, exciting university life that i dreamed of seemed a little daunting. Mike did say that we would have a wonderful social life but i've been spoon fed for the last 13 years of my school life, this sudden change will definitely be something that i will not welcome.

However i guess i should keep in mind the fact this is all on the path of maturity and self development. There comes a stage when we will all stop being spoon fed and reliant on others and i guess uni is a suitable time.

I hope that during uni i keep in mind that all this is part of my Lord's plan and that all i am doing is in his name and to glorify his name. I hope during the change in my life and myself i stay true to my belief in my Lord and keep his teachings and word at the forefront of everything i do.

One of the most prominent memories of scripture in primary was me teacher teaching me the order i should consider others when i make decisions. The Acronym was JOY.
Jesus
Others
Yourself

This is one of my belated new year's resolutions and i hope that i can act on this throughout this year and the rest of my life. ^^

I have never done this online but i want to pray for my fellow year 12's and friends in this stressful year.

Dear Heavenly Father,

May you keep us strong during this stressful year. For those who believe in your glory may they keep grounded this year and remember you are the most important. May we find time in our busy and stressful lives to continue to glorify your name and learn about you.

For the whole of year 12 i pray that you help them through these tough times and to guide them through this year. I pray that you keep them healthy and that they take care of their health and sleep. I hope that despite my busy year i can find time in my life to communicate with my friends. I pray that next year during university i may be able to find the strength to keep in contact with my lovely high school friends and never lose contact with them.

Amen


xoxo Winnie
