This year has been challenging in different aspects like academically, personally, spiritually and emotionally so to speak. It was not all that easy to experience most things but I am glad that I did because if it was not for those challenges I would not have learnt the many things that I did about myself. 

• I learnt that it is okay to express how you feel. It is okay to feel happy, sad, angry, not in the mood or whatever you may be feeling in that moment, but it is important not to let your emotions take over you. I realized that whenever I felt down I would try to hide it because I usually portray a "happy image" towards people and that would affect me when I was alone because all those emotions that I’ve been suppressing would come out. So to avoid that from happening I do not hide how I feel. 

• It is okay to make mistakes, as long as we learn from them. I believe that it is our mistakes that drive us to become better people. Without them we would not be able to refer to what we need to change. 

So 2015 is coming to an end and I have been reflecting on the type of year I had.  This year was similar to being on a roller coaster ride for the first time. I went through this year without resolutions or goals (as I prefer to say), which explains why it was quite a bumpy ride. I didn't know what to expect. I just went with the flow, I just winged it.



The good that happened in 2015 is that my school year went quite well. I received honors in Academics and achieved great results that I'm proud of, so matric 2016 here I come. I was also blessed with the opportunity to be a prefect at Amanzimtoti High School.

During this year I developed close friendships with wonderful people who  helped me learn and discover a few things about them and myself and I thank God for them.


My church, Higher Life Church International is also growing and we hosted our first conference this December and by the grace of God everything went well.



I am still going through the process of becoming the God Girl that God wants me to be. And it has been a difficult process during the year of 2015. My relationship with Christ was a bit shaky throughout this year as I didn't make it my number 1 priority the way I'm supposed to. I always felt incomplete,  like something was missing,  a sense of emptiness. I used to always feel guilty or condemned for not reading my bible enough or not spending enough quiet time with God. But lately I realised that regardless of what I do or don't do He still thinks about me and loves me unconditionally because of His beautiful grace.



"No matter what I've done
No matter where I've been
No matter how I fall
You pick me up again
You have removed my shame
You take me as I am
You call me justified
Now I am covered by your grace"

I can say that throughout 2015 I have been showered with the grace of God in every area of my life and that is why I am still standing.




With 2016 approaching I will take with me the lessons I have learnt throughout 2015 and I will definitely write up goals that will help guide me throughout the following year.

In 2016, my best is yet to come.



Remember God loves you and so do I.
