2010 becoming clearer

So often in life, we think we can do somethings but we can't do other things. No matter how hard it is to tell someone something we are going through, we still seem to tell them that "everything is okay, or I am fine" even when we know we are not. We tend to rely so much on our own strength and think we can get through things on our own.

Do we live life the way we want to - being the person we want to be

OR

Do we live life the way others want us to - being the person that the rest of society wants us to be?

This past week has been a real challenge for me - i have learnt more about why i am in Hamilton this year and why i think God has placed me here in Taurima Christian Hostel. I have learnt that the mix of people we have this year in this hostel is incredible and that we can all relate to each other in some way, shape or form (if we really get to know each other). I have also learnt to appreciate the statement people often say about university friends being lifelong friends.

Life is certainly never easy and God will always throw us a curve ball when we least expect it or when we think life is going great but another thing that i have learnt this past week is that he will NEVER throw us a curve ball which he thinks we can not handle or are not good enough for. These may seem too hard or difficult to face but in the long run, the ups and downs of life are what draw us nearer to our creator. God supplies us with all that we ever need and that most definitely includes all the incredible friends that have been placed in our lives - whether we have known them 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks or 3 minutes.

Eleanor, thank you so much for opening up and telling me what you have - you are incredible for doing that.

A reminded to EVERYONE who reads this: Never think that you have to go through anything alone because there WILL always be people here to support you.

Love and Blessings,

Kath :)
