End 2014

25 minutes remaining for the year and it's a good time to reflect and think of what has happened in my life and the world. Mainly my life.

Greatest highlight of my year:
My greatest highlight of my year was joining CU. All my high school life I never felt like I belonged anywhere. Me, an awkward outcast, had always struggled to fit in, and the more I changed to try to fit in, the more I hated myself and fit in perhaps even less. But this year I was me. Better yet, I started to draw closer to the me I wanted to be, the person God had planned me to be. CU became and is the place where I feel I belong. People all across the nation, from all over the world mixed together and bonded together by Christ. This year I truly recognised the Lordship of God over my life, and CU was a place to show that. I was never ashamed, I had a fresh start, and can I dare say- I nailed it. I don't care what people thought about me, but for once I was happy with who I was and the track that I had begun to follow. I entered that narrow gate, it's a long road, and it doesn't get easier, but God makes me better and better at tackling life. I've grown so much this year, and CU is a testament to that. I feel at home, I feel challenged yet comfortable; I feel God dwelling in me.

Things I've learned this year:
1.) God truly is everything for my life.
2.) Humans really are silly and weak, luckily, we're silly together with a God that can help us.
3.) Don't go chasing ideals of relationships or even people. Chase God, and He'll show you how to do the rest.
4.) Stop worrying. Worrying never changed anything except your stress levels. Have faith in God and do the best you can in whatever you can.
5.) Life really never turns out the way you plan things to be. You have no control and the sooner you accept that, the sooner you can stop worrying.
6.) Don't waste too much time thinking of girls. You can only waste some. Then go do something useful.
7.) Involve God in everything, because He doesn't stuff up.
8.) Learn to laugh it off. Things aren't always going to go your way, but you can be ok with that. More than ok, God's showing you what's better.
9.) Check revolving doors for glass walls.
10.) Spread your university classes out. It's horrible having packed days.

That's it for me! This year has been incredible. 2015 will be incredibler.
