Been an interesting week. I’ve been to London for a few days,
and since I’ve come back I’ve been gathering my thoughts for the new year, and
getting more in touch with my humanity and that of others.
At the moment my mind feels a bit cloudy. I think it’s
partly to do with this book I’m reading (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, above),
and partly out of the surprise of seeing that a major season in my life has
come to an end. Now I can see the next step and something about to happen which
I’ve been waiting for for so long. To tell the truth, it all feels very surreal.
Some of you already know what I’m talking about, but for those who don’t I
think I’ll keep you in suspense a bit longer J.
I guess we all have aspirations and dreams, but often when
you’ve waited so long for something and it suddenly happens, a strange emotion
comes over you. The last time I felt this emotion is when I did my last exam in
university. There, I stepped outside of the exam hall and onto the main strip
of Brunel and many thoughts came into my mind.
‘It’s finished, really? All that I’ve been preparing for the
last year and ultimately the last 18 years of my life has come to an end? So……what
do I do now?'
What I did was just go back to my house. I didn’t really
know what else to do. In the end I knew I had to pack my stuff up and go back
to Birmingham, but for a while I was just there in a daze. Life as I knew it
was over. It was time to move into something new, something unknown.
I guess it’s a bit different in the sense that I know where
I’m going next. I guess I’ll even have a trade to support myself with, as I’ll be
finished my Barbering course in May. But as for what God’s planning to do and
what’s prepared for me when I get there, my mind draws a blank. That strange
emotion has come over me again, but this time it comes with excitement.
