1. Newton and I will have been dating for 6 months on the 17th of this month (I've learned quite a lot about myself, relationships, my boyfriend and the world around in this time). Lessons that are quite interesting and perhaps quite important to share: FIRSTLY: relationships in real life are nothing like the ones on tv and movies, real ones require more than just a dramatic first meeting. SECONDLY: you cannot expect more in a relationship than you are willing to sacrifice, this is a real recipe for disaster. THIRDLY: all relationships are different I can't measure mine and what's going on in mine to anyone else's all I can do is pray for my partner and enjoy the ride.
2. I graduated on 16 May (I'm so glad I went to the actual ceremony!! Although there was tears in my eyes that I wasn't able to share that day with the people I had been on school with, and that it was only happening 3 years later, on that day I celebrated personal victory and geared myself up for first semester exams for my second qualification).
3. I passed first semester!! Whoop whoop!! Not as well as I would've liked to but that's ok, I have semester two to sort myself out and make sure that I make time each and every week to study and work on each subject so that when exam season comes I'm not pressed for time like last time! Get thee behind me procrastination!!
4. I did my license test sometime in June.. And I failed :-( but I got another date and I have another chance to try so chin up and here we go again!!
This year so far has been quite the roller coaster but guess what??... It's really not as bad as it seems! I was talking to this lady this afternoon and I've come to realise and acknowledge what a spoiled brat I've been lately just because things haven't been going entirely my way... I have decided to surrender my will to God and allow Him to take the lead and whatever he decides will be fine with me.
Help me Lord to believe and know that you have my best interests at heart.
It is well with my soul
