The end of a new beginning.

The end of the semester always marks a significant time in the year. It is as if we are saying goodbye to a beautiful moment and welcoming the idea of a new beginning; a time to start a new adventure. It is a very distinct end though and it feels a little sad to say goodbye to all other memories of autumn leaves, pumpkin carving, Friday morning tea with Ali, Le Petit Chat with Lauren, long walks with Jeremy and friend Christmas. I live with three of my best friends at school and they have changed my life in so many ways. I could never ask for a more hilarious, fun and loving house (our house name is Helms Deep if that tells you anything). I have a beautiful life and i find myself too often trying desperately to hold onto the moments that inevitably slip away. Too often, I miss what God is trying to do in this very moment. I am not truly living if I am reminiscing or asking what if. My hope and prayer for this New Year, is that God would bring patience to my life so that I could live for Christ now. Each year time passes more quickly and I want to learn to be thankful for what God has done and hopeful for what God, the Lord of this hopeless and sinful world will do next.
