Its been such a long journey and a hard journey but nonetheless I thank God for the experience and bringing me through it ! My two years doing A levels was not the easiest, I came into the scheme unprepared ( GCSES'S DO NOT prepare you for A levels ). I worked hard and I achieved good grades however it wasn't the best time of my life due to the high demands of work ,coursework and other internal and external factors, however what made it worthwhile was that it was the beginning of my learning experience to depend on God. , I'm still learning and growing to trust him, and ask him for wisdom and knowledge in all my work and relationships. So back to university... Can i just say that results day was the most stressful day of my life !! I had missed my offer by a grade and I was not sure if I was going to go to my chosen university or not; sometimes they do give you an exception if you miss the entry requirements. The university took I would say about 12 hours to let me know they had given me a place and so you can imagine my anxiety and confusion when i logged on to UCAS to discover that my track had not updated, and whilst others where celebrating there success i was as to say sitting in the woodwork's. I phoned and someone from admissions said I did not get in but I was not satisfied with that answer. I took it to the lord in prayer with a strong petition. I phoned again and talked directly to my department who told me I had a place. And now I'm here having finished my first year of University !!

As the early Christian philosopher and theologian Augustine said
" Trust the past to the mercy of God, the present to his love, and the future to his providence," I have to look back at my first year university experience and say it is opening my eyes to areas I need to work on,things I am doing well and the main thing which is that God has to be the center and priority of my life, my growth, my past and my future. This blog will be a compilation of my life, the lessons it is teaching me. The experiences I have gained all point to the glory of God as I grow to become the woman he wants me to be.
