Wow so I have just read over some of my old blog entries! I now understand why people used to get so annoyed when I used text talk- sooooooooo difficult to read! On my facebook page I have the quote "Faith doesn't know where it is being lead, but it knows and loves the One who is leading" (Oswald Chambers). Looking back over my different struggles, and what life has looked like over the last few years I can safelty say that that quote is true. I can't believe how open and honest I was about my struggles and weakness on an online blog which my peers read. I think when I was younger I wore my heart more on my sleeve. Now I would rather talk about what has inspired me in a way that I might write an essay. And yet the title of this blog is "an occasional update of what's going on with me" which I considered changing to "my thoughts and reflections on life", much more grown up and much more boring! As I read through past entries, cringing all the way, I had a strong desire to delete all evidence of the fact that I was so silly! But that is indeed my past and has formed who I am today and I'm sure if I was to look closely I would see many resemblances. And so in this blog I will continue to endeavor to be honest.
I am now 23 years old, still faithfully following God, still frequently getting it all wrong, no longer having patience and loosing my temper issues, still occasional boy issues. I have travelled all round Ireland, lived in Galway, visited Tanzania, Edmonton, Phoenix, Berlin, Fraserburgh, Sevillie, Budapest. I want to visit Korea, Ibiza, China, New Zealand and Cuba. I am currently going into my final year of Sociology and Theology at Queens and contemplating doing a Masters. I still have no idea what I'd like to do but that no longer worries me. I am currently dog and brother sitting as my parents are away and failing miserably as to remembering to water the plants and take the washing out of the machine! I am re reading Harry Potter for the billionth time as well as 'Shirley' by Charlotte Bronte and 'Abba's Child' by Brennan Manning. I have made no plans for over summer and so I am rather bored and miss people and busyness and yet I know this is a good place to be.
