the time has finally come...

I am brain dead- period.

I have ceased to stop feeling and thinking because in a couple of days, I will finally leave for Sydney, Australia and start a new chapter in my life.

I am excited and ecstatic because this is my lifelong dream, to study in a foreign land and be immersed in their culture and just be away from home and start living my life. But as the saying goes, we can sometimes be too overwhelmed by changes. Too many changes, too fast too soon will sometimes make us doubt and worry.

I will never look back that’s one thing for sure. I made up my mind a year ago that I wanted to study law. This is for sure and nobody and nothing will ever change my mind on that. I am also sure that Australia is my final destination to pursue law. And the Lord did place in my heart the particular city of Sydney and the fact that I would be pursuing a double degree in the university of my choice.

This is clearly the Lord’s plan for me and I should take the big step of faith and plunge into this whole thing knowing that the Lord will watch and protect me every step of the way. We can’t always base things on feelings. Feelings come and go. Feelings are volatile. But God isn’t. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever more.

So I may be feeling anxious and worried today, but I will cast them upon the Lord for he has promised to take all burdens away. Likewise for my impending studies, there may be some doubts and worries and uncertainty but I shall leave it all to God. Only he knows what is right for me and he will bring his plan to completion.

I trust in God and I know that I will succeed in Sydney not on my own strength but on Gods wings that will carry me through thick and thin and I will grow in immeasurable ways.

I go in confidence because I know God has great plans for me.

I know because I have faith,

I have faith because I believe.

I believe because I love him.
