I was hanging out with a new friend earlier who told me that he'd looked up my blog for which he then began to tease me merciously. I inwardly cringed and outwardly went red and longed to get home in order to delete this record of my character growing pains. And yet that's precisely why I can't delete it. It helps keep me humble and serves as a reminder that I am so very human. In a few months time I will probably be cringing at this very entry and yet I suppose that's a good thing as it means that hopefully I will have grown and been refined a little more.

I am currently approaching my final set of exams of my final year of university (or so it appears). This has truly been one of, if not the best, years of my life. I didn't particularly like Belfast, I didn't really want to be here and I wasn't all that fussed on uni and yet I have loved getting stuck in to student life on campus. Being on CU committee and living at Methodist Chaplaincy forced me to literally live and breathe on campus, with the Students Union and Queens Building on my doorstep. I have loved my final year of my degree, loved being on CU committe (despite weekly 4 hour long meetings) and loved living at chaplaincy. My future is currently like the Mumford and Sons song, a 'White Blank Page' but God has shown me that its not really blank, but already full of colour and adventure as my future will be filled with his Spirit.
